IEEE Computational Intelligence Society

The IEEE Computational Intelligence Society is a professional society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) focussing on "the theory, design, application, and development of biologically and linguistically motivated computational paradigms emphasizing neural networks, connectionist systems, genetic algorithms, evolutionary programming, fuzzy systems, and hybrid intelligent systems in which these paradigms are contained".

The society was formed as the IEEE Neural Networks Council on November 17, 1989 with representatives from 12 different IEEE societies. On November 21, 2001, the IEEE Neural Networks Council became the IEEE Neural Networks Society. In November 2003, it changed its name to the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society.

The IEEE CIS publishes three peer-reviewed scientific journals:

The society also co-sponsors the following publications:

Through Councils the society also support the following transactions:

The society also publishes a magazine, Computational Intelligence Magazine, and sponsors a book series on computational intelligence.

To promote knowledge dissemination in computational intelligence, multimedia tutorials are being developed and provided, as well as courses and summer schools are being supported. To help graduate student research and exchange especially at the international level summer research grants are provided.

New initiatives cover the needs from the high school to continuous education in order to serve the computational intelligence community and all people interested in computational intelligence and its applications. Among these planned activities there are: student games-based competitions, pre-college educational programs, development of suggested university curricula, continuing education programs (especially for people in industry), and creation of the educational archive.

The society sponsors and co-sponsors a number of international conferences, such as CIBB (the International Meeting on Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics) and the IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games, a series of annual conference on computational and artificial intelligence in games.
