Computational Intelligence in Latin America Task Force

LA-CCI is an acronym for the Latin American (LA) Conference on Computational Intelligence (CI), which currently includes correspondents in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Sound research and active groups work in CI in these countries, eager to develop the area and exchange experiences/personnel. As well as the Conference Series, LA-CCI is one of the deeds of the IEEE CIS LA-CCI Task Force (TF) for encouraging research groups of these participating countries to team up around this exciting topic of CI.

The organization team would like to encourage the participation of established scientists, young researchers, and advanced students, not limited to Latin American countries. It is important to note that Latin American countries organize our conference but aim at the international scientific community. Finally, it is always worth to state our main goals, namely:

i) To be a notch scientific forum in Latin America;

ii) To be a regional hub of CI practitioners and professionals;

iii) To be a privileged showcase of CI and industry;

iv) To be a springboard for students;

v) To publicize CI research going on within LA-CCI countries;

vi) To encourage CI research links to LA-CCI countries;

vii) To foster academic mobility in LA-CCI countries and beyond, and:

viii) To promote Science & Culture in Latin America

Overall, the objective of the LA-CCI series is to provide a high-level international stage and forum for scientists, researchers, engineers, and educators to disseminate their latest research results and exchange views of the future research directions on Neural & Learning Systems, Fuzzy & Stochastic Modeling, Evolutionary & Swarm Computation, and their related applications. More recently, the special topic on CI technology's Ethical, Social, and Environmental implications.
