2020 IEEE SYMPOSIUM SERIES ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
1-4 December, 2020, Canberra, Australia
ieeessci2020.org
On behalf of the SSCI 2020 Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence.
IEEE SSCI co-locates 45 symposia under one roof, each dedicated to a specific topic in the CI domain, thereby encouraging cross-fertilization of ideas and providing a unique platform
for top researchers, professionals, and students from all around the world to discuss and present their findings.
IEEE SSCI is one of the feature events for the 2020 Canberra Artificial Intelligence Week (

Call for Papers: IEEE-SSCI 2020 invites you to submit your original and innovative previously unpublished research. The event has 46 accepted symposiums on all aspects
of computational intelligence. Each paper submitted to IEEE SSCI 2020 will be refereed by experts in the fields and assessed based on originality, significance, adherence to the scientific method, correctness, clarity and quality of scientific presentation.
Instructions are found at
submission page. All papers must be submitted through the IEEE SSCI 2020 online submission system
Link. Authors will need to select the symposium they wish to submit to from the dropdown list of research areas in the submission system.
Call for Special Sessions: IEEE SSCI 2020 is made up of 45 symposiums. There are areas in computational intelligence that may not be covered by these symposiums or interdisciplinary
areas with a narrow focus that sits at the interface of two or more of these symposiums. These areas are better suited for a special session. Special session proposals should include title, a description of the scope, a list of topics covered, a list of potential
contributors, and names, affiliations, websites, and bios of special session organisers. Proposals and inquiries regarding special sessions should be addressed to the Special Session Co-chairs:
Xiaodong Li xiaodong.li@rmit.edu.au and
Dipti Srinivasan dipti@nus.edu.sg.
Call for Workshops: IEEE SSCI 2020 will host a few workshops focusing on discussing contemporary topics in Computational Intelligence. Workshops offer a technical community
the opportunity to polarize ideas towards a common vision for a sub-field or the development of a position on topic. IEEE SSCI 2020 particularly encourages interdisciplinary workshops that bring researchers from other communities outside mainstream computational
intelligence to discuss interdisciplinary topics sitting at the interface of these communities. A workshop proposal should include title, short introduction to the topic, the motivation, aims and relevance of the proposed workshop to IEEE SSCI 2020, a list
of potential speakers, the expected length of the workshop (half a day or a full day), and names, affiliations, websites, and bios of organisers. Proposals and inquiries regarding workshops should be addressed to the Workshop Co-chairs:
Keeley Crockett K.Crockett@mmu.ac.uk and
Matthew Garratt m.garratt@adfa.edu.au.
Call for Tutorials: IEEE SSCI 2020 will feature tutorials covering fundamental and advanced topics in computational intelligence. A tutorial proposal should include title,
short introduction to the topic, an outline of the tutorial, expected length of the tutorial (2h, 4h or 6h), the level of the tutorial (introductory or advanced), and names, affiliations, websites, and bios of presenters. Proposals and inquiries regarding
tutorials should be addressed to Tutorials Co-chairs: Sreenatha Anavatti
agsrenat@adfa.edu.au and Chaomin Luo
chaomin.luo@ece.msstate.edu.

Sylvie Thiebaux, Australian National University, Australia. - Sylvie Thiebaux is a professor of computer science
at the Australian National University. Her research interests are in automated planning, scheduling, diagnosis, and search, their integration with optimisation, machine learning, and verification, as well as their applications to energy and transport. Her
recent work, which has received multiple academic and industry awards, focuses on handling constraints in planning under uncertainty, on learning generalised policies and heuristics, and on coordinating distributed energy resources to benefit their owners,
the distribution grid, and energy markets. Sylvie is a a fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and a co-editor in chief of the Artificial Intelligence journal. She is a former councilor of AAAI, co-chair and president
of the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS), and director of the Canberra Laboratories of NICTA. |

Co-located Events:
IEEE SSCI 2020 will be running during the Canberra Artificial Intelligence (CAI) week, which will host a range of activities on AI including the 33rd Australasian Joint Conference on AI. The week will run from Saturday
the 28th of November 2020. Events on AI will be announced on the IEEE SSCI 2020 website as they become available.
Venue:
The 2020 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (IEEE SSCI) will be held in Canberra, Australia, from December 1st to December 4th, 2020. The first day is dedicated to tutorials and workshops and will
be held at the University of New South Wales, Canberra Campus. The main program of the conference will be held at the National Canberra Convention Centre from 2nd to 4th of December.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update:
IEEE SSCI 2020 takes the safety and health of its attendees to heart. With the rapidly evolving coronavirus situation, we hope for the best and prepare for all contingencies.
We will continuously assess the risk associated with the coronavirus and adapt the design of the event accordingly. It is still early to decide exactly how the event will run. We do not exclude the possibility of running it
virtually or in a hybrid-mode. But such decision will need to be made at the right time.
We understand that some delegates have questions on their mind. Should we submit papers? How will the no-show policy apply? Will the event take place? All these questions, and potentially others, are important ones. It is important
for us to reduce the effect of the Coronavirus on people's careers. We abide by our social responsibility towards the community and principles of fairness to ensure that we do not penalize anyone for events outside their control.
Our advice is to go ahead and prepare your paper. The deadline for paper submission for SSCI is still in August. If the current travel restrictions remain in place, we will resort to a virtual meeting. We will do what we can
to ensure that the research life continues, without exposing our delegates to risks.
We will keep you informed. Any change in the situation will be communicated to you on the Conference website.
Be safe, Be healthy, Be happy, and Be ready to submit your best work to IEEE SSCI on time.
