2013 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence for Financial Engineering & Economics (CIFEr)

The CIFEr Conference is the major collaboration between the professional engineering and financial communities, and is one of the leading forums for new technologies and applications in the intersection of computational intelligence and financial engineering and economics. Intelligent computational systems have become indispensable in virtually all financial applications, from portfolio selection to proprietary trading to risk management.

This CIFEr 2013 program has a total of 20 oral presentations divided into four sessions, featuring the recent progresses in agent-based modeling of markets, portfolio optimization, financial time series analysis, and financial patterns and risk management. In addition to these 20 orals, we have two post papers on other interesting economic and financial applications. To provide general audience a quick access to some recent progresses in financial engineering, a tutorial on systemic risks will be given by Akira Namatame.
