LA-CCI (check the Manifesto at http://la-cci.org/manifesto/),

we are glad to put together a high-level international forum for
scientists, researchers, engineers, professionals, and educators

to jointly disseminate latest research results and exchange views of the
future research directions in the areas associated

to Computational Intelligence.

Programming, Artificial Immune Systems, Swarm

         Intelligence, Collective Intelligence, Evolvable Hardware,
Bio-inspired Methods.

* Neural & Learning Systems: Neural Networks, Machine Learning, Complex
Systems, Molecular and Quantum

        Computing, Complex Networks.

* Fuzzy & Stochastic Modeling: Fuzzy Systems, Fuzzy Control & Decision
Making, Uncertainty Analysis, Rough Sets,

         Fractals, Multiagent Systems, Reinforcement Learning, Game Theory.

*SUBMISSIONS:*
