2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence for Engineering Solutions (CIES)
This Symposium is focused on the utilization of Computational Intelligence in the entire field of engineering. 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 forms a basis for developments of a new quality. CIES provides a forum for the presentation and discussions of advancements in this context.
The final technical program consists of 35 papers for oral presentation organized in 7 sessions according to their technical themes and of additional 4 poster presentations. These papers demonstrate how the implementation of key concepts of computational intelligence can emerge into significant advancements in various specific engineering developments. Two keynote lectures are scheduled under CIES, which will provide overviews on the utilization of computational intelligence in structural analysis and design and on fuzzy applications in ground vehicle engineering with focus on identification. We hope that this compilation of CIES will nurture fruitful discussions and the identification of new directions and collaboration.
