Dr. Yen is appointed as the general chair of the 2006 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI 2006) to be held in Vancouver, Canada, July 16-21, 2006. This conference is the main conference of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, held only every four years. Each year, there are three major conferences in neural network, fuzzy logic and evolutionary computation. Every four year, we bring everybody together under a single roof. IT usually attract over 1500-2000 attendees worldwide.

Sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (formerly the IEEE Neural Networks Society), WCCI 2006 will provide a venue to foster technical exchanges, renew everlasting friendship, and establish new connections. The Congress will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of theory, design, implementation, and applications of computational intelligence. The Congress will feature world-renowned plenary and invited speeches, state-of-the-art invited sessions, themed tutorial workshops, moderated panel discussions, regular technical sessions, poster interactions, and last but not least, exciting social functions that include welcoming reception, award banquet, student reception, and farewell reception.
