Details about the current state of this publication can be found on our website.

The IEEE CIS Executive Committee has formed an Adhoc Search Committee to invite nominations/applications for the position of Editor-in-Chief for TETCI. The Editor-in-Chief appointment is for a 2-year term starting 1 January 2023. Nominees/applicants should be dedicated volunteers with outstanding research profiles and extensive editorial experience. The nomination/application package should include complete CV along with a separate description (max 300 words/topic) on each of the following items:

• Vision statement
• Editorial experience
• Summary of publishing experience in IEEE journals/magazines
• IEEE Volunteer experience
• Institutional support
• Current service and administrative commitments
• Networking with the Community
• Challenges, if any, faced by the publication, and how to deal with them

IEEE CIS Student and Early Career Mentoring Program

The IEEE CIS mentoring program is back in 2022! The program was rated exceptionally highly, with around 90% of participants rating the programs Very Useful or Useful and about 9 out of 10 confirming they would recommend participation to a friend. WCCI2022 will offer an expanded IEEE CIS mentoring program compared to 2020, keeping the best parts of the 2020 edition, while adding new activities. It includes: 

• Activity I: One-to-One publication feedback and community point-of-contact
• Activity II: Paper Development Workshop (PDW)  
• Activity III: Networking Event

More details about the program are available here.

IEEE CIS Taskforce on Evolutionary Scheduling and Combinatorial Optimisation @ Evolutionary Computation Technical Committee

We have established a new IEEE CIS Taskforce on Evolutionary Scheduling and Combinatorial Optimisation in 2022! 

This scope of this taskforce focuses on both practical and theoretical aspects of Evolutionary Scheduling and Combinatorial Optimisation (ESCO). Examples of evolutionary methods include genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolutionary strategies, ant colony optimisation, particle swarm optimisation, evolutionary-based hyper-heuristics, and memetic algorithms. We also focus on novel hybrid approaches that combine machine learning and evolutionary computation to solve complex ESCO problems, such as surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms and designing evolutionary algorithms for reinforcement learning and transfer/multitask learning.

The mission of this taskforce is to organise events and activities (e.g., conference workshops, tutorials, special sessions, competitions, journal special issues), to provide a platform for researchers and industrial practitioners to share ideas, seek for collaborations, and find solutions to their problems.

If you are interested in joining our taskforce, please feel free to contact Dr. Yi Mei <[email protected]>. Thanks!
