Call for Papers
The Second International Workshop on Computational Intelligence in
Economics and Finance (CIEF'2002) will be held as a part of the Sixth
Joint Conference on Information Science. Computational intelligence,
usually known as a collection of techniques, including artificial
neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms, etc., is one
of the most important tools in computational economics and finance.
Over the last decade, computational intelligence has been widely used
in various economical and financial modelling, prediction, and analysis.
The most noticeable application of computational intelligence is in
financial data mining.
In addition to financial data mining, computational intelligence has
also been intensively used in the research area known as agent-based
computational economics where global regularities arise from the bottom
up, through repeated local interactions of autonomous agents.
Computational intelligence provides a tool to model these autonomous
agents and their interactions. Issues addressed include the replication
of laboratory results with human subjects, equilibrium selection, the
emergence of the representative agent, rational expectations, markets
and money, simulations of artificial stock markets and other social
processes.
We see now a need to bring together people with different backgrounds
who share the same interests in their closely related studies. This
conference serves this purpose.
