2009 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI 2009) [Conference Reports]

The 2009 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI 2009), sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, was held on March 30-April 2, 2009, in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, at the Sheraton Music City Hotel. This was the second edition of a multi-faceted, attractive conference, which followed the stimulating experience of Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, in 2007. The goal was to create a unique, interdisciplinary forum promoting dissemination and understanding of various emerging computational intelligence technologies and many specific applications. While the World Congress on Computational Intelligence is used to focus on the three major technological areas of computational intelligence (namely, neural networks, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary computing) and their applications, the Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence focused on other theoretical aspects which did not had yet the same resonance in the international scientific and professional community.
