IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence for Engineering

Solutions (IEEE CIES)

https://www.ieeessci2022.org/symposia_cies.html

Part of IEEE Series of Symposia on Computational Intelligence,

Singapore, December 4-7, 2022, https://www.ieeessci2022.org/

Developments in Engineering are characterized by a growing

complexity, which is balanced by an extensive utilization of

computational resources. This complexity is not only a feature of

engineering systems, processes and products, it is primarily a key

attribute of the respective algorithms for analysis, control and

decision-making to develop those engineering solutions. To cope

with complexity in this broad spectrum of demands, Computational

Intelligence is implemented increasingly in virtually all

engineering disciplines. This emerging approach provides a basis

for developments of a new quality. This Symposium is focused on the

utilization of Computational Intelligence in this context in the

entire field of engineering. Examples concern the control of

processes of various kinds and for various purposes, monitoring

with sensors, smart sensing, system identification,

decision-support and assistance systems, visualization methods,

prediction schemes, the solution of classification problems,

response surface approximations, the formulation of surrogate

models, etc. The engineering application fields may comprise, for

example, bioengineering with prostheses design and control, civil

and mechanical engineering processes, systems and structures

concerned with vehicles, aircraft or bridges, industrial and

systems engineering with design and control of power systems,

electrical and computer engineering with developments in robotics,

etc. All kinds of approaches from the field of Computational

Intelligence are welcome. As a part of the Symposium special

attention is paid to sustainable engineering solutions to address

current and future challenges of environmental changes and

uncertainty. This includes developments dealing with climate

change, environmental processes, disaster warning and management,

infrastructure security, lifecycle analysis and design, etc.

Events, disasters and issues under consideration may be natural

such as earthquakes or tsunamis, man-made such as human failure or

terrorist attacks, or a combination thereof including secondary

effects such as failures in nuclear power plants, which may be

critical for systems, the environment and the society. Developments

which include a comprehensive consideration of uncertainty and

techniques of reliable computing are explicitly invited. These may

involve probabilistic including Bayesian approaches, interval

methods, fuzzy methods, imprecise probabilities and further

concepts. In this context robust design is of particular interest

with all its facets as a basic concept to develop sustainable

engineering solutions.
