The Instituto Tecnologico de Informatica (ITI) organises the Workshop on
Computational Intelligence Applied to Business, JICAN2008. Its purpose is
twofold: on the one hand, to introduce this technology among companies in
any area; on the other, to show actual fields of application to researchers
in academia.
To achieve this we count on the participation of national and international
experts in Computational Intelligence, who will explain the more relevant
current tendencies in the area.
With this conference, the audience is expected to acquire a global vision of
the methodology that will help them introducing it in their own companies.
With the support of the Spanish Chapter of IEEE-Computational Intelligence
Society.
PLEASE NOTE: The languages of the Workshop are English and Spanish. Two-way
simultaneous translation will be provided to those who require it.
Objectives
----------
The Workshop aims to introduce the key concepts in the field of
Computational Intelligence (CI) in a practical manner and with particular
emphasis in the applications in the industrial and financial areas.
For this we will count on four outstanding keynote speakers plus ITI's
expert personnel, who will provide a basis of the different methodologies in
CI and a number of practical applications in which CI was successfully employed.
Who should attend?
------------------
The workshop is aimed at :
- Companies: Project managers or directors (technical and non technical)
who, as part of their work, face complex problems related to optimisation,
prediction and decision making.
- Academia: Researchers and students interested in the practical
application of Computational Intelligence.
