Competition Call for IEEE CIS GOLDs and Students: Pitch your CI Research Idea and Win the an iPad 2!!!
The CIS GOLD subcommittee is hosting a “Novel CI Research Idea Pitch” competition during the Student and GOLD reception at WCCI 2012 in Brisbane Australia.
Your Challenge: Design a one-page research proposal of your Computational Intelligence idea and get a chance to pitch your idea to a panel of CI experts and your peers using an “elevator pitch” (3 minute time limit). An “elevator pitch” is a short summary of a research idea. The research area must be “computational intelligence” and the participants must “sell” their idea to the judges to qualify for prizes. A panel of three CI experts will select 3 best pitches and the audience (your peers) will rank 1st, 2nd and 3rdwinner through secret ballot. Prizes will include 1 iPad for 1st winner, certificates and free full year IEEE CIS memberships. Register now for a chance to be heard!
Submission Guidelines: Interested GOLDs and Students should consult the full Brief and Submission Guidelines (attach flyer as link here). Registration and Submission Deadline: June 11th 2012, Midnight EST. (You can register for the competition without submitting the research summary).

The following IEEE CIS Officer positions will become vacant in 2013 and need to be filled by election during the ADCOM meeting on June 10, 2012: President-Elect, Vice President for Education, Vice President for Member Activities, and Vice President for Publications.
Each year, five members of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society are elected by the voting members of the Society to serve on the ADCOM for 3-year terms. The ADCOM represents the members of the Society, defines the strategic goals of the Society, approves the plans for the Society's activities, approves the Society's budget, amendments to the Constitution and Bylaws, appoints Society officers, and authorizes the expenditure of Society funds. Members of the ADCOM are expected to attend annual meetings and be involved in Society activities.
Optimal Tracking Control for a Class of Nonlinear Discrete-Time Systems With Time Delays Based on Heuristic Dynamic Programming, by H. Zhang, R. Song, Q. Wei, and T. Zhang, IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, Vol. 22, No. 12 pt1, Dec. 2011, pp. 1851 - 1862.

"In this paper, a novel heuristic dynamic programming (HDP) iteration algorithm is proposed to solve the optimal tracking control problem for a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems with time delays. The novel algorithm contains state updating, control policy iteration, and performance index iteration. To get the optimal states, the states are also updated. Furthermore, the ‘backward iteration’ is applied to state updating. Two neural networks are used to approximate the performance index function and compute the optimal control policy for facilitating the implementation of HDP iteration algorithm. At last, two examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed HDP iteration algorithm." Free Download

The 2012 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI 2012) is the largest technical event in the field of computational intelligence. It will host three conferences: The 2012 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2012), the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2012), and the 2012 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC 2012).WCCI 2012 will provide a stimulating forum for scientists, engineers, educators, and students from all over the world to discuss and present their research findings on computational intelligence. The event will feature pre-congress tutorials and workshops, covering fundamental and advanced computational intelligence topics. Competitions such as the Human vs. Computer GO competition are being arranged to stimulate research in computational intelligence, promote fair evaluations, and attract public interest. IEEE WCCI 2012 will be held in sunny Brisbane, a major Australian city with beautiful surroundings, warm weather, and a number of beaches and resorts.
