We are pleased to invite you to participate in *LA-CCI 2020 *which will be
held this year in Temuco, Chile, jointly with the XVI Summer School on
Computational Intelligence, *EVIC 2020, *that will be from November 2-4.
LA-CCI provides a high-level international forum for scientists,
researchers, engineers, professionals and educators as well as for young
researchers and students to disseminate their latest research results
and *exchange
views on the future research of Computational Intelligence* (please
visit *http://la-cci.org/
