The International Conference on New Trends in Computational Intelligence (NTCI 2023) will be held in Qingdao, China during November 3-5, 2023. Following the successes of previous events, NTCI 2023 aims to bring top researchers and practitioners working in different facets of computational intelligence (CI) under one umbrella to share their knowledge and enable mutual exchange of information. The conference will feature plenary speeches given by world-renowned scholars, regular sessions with broad coverage, and special sessions focusing on popular topics.

Call for Papers and Special Sessions
Prospective authors are invited to contribute high-quality papers to NTCI 2023. In addition, proposals for special sessions within the technical scope of the conference are solicited. Special sessions, to be organized by internationally recognized experts, aim to bring together researchers on special focused topics. A special session proposal should include the session title, a brief description of the scope and motivation, names, contact information, and brief biographical information on the organizers. Researchers interested in organizing special sessions are invited to submit formal proposals to ntci@guast.org.
