IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI) 2020
AIM: ‘Social things’ is an umbrella term that covers living to artificial social organisms in nano/micro/macro scales. The automated decision-making in this growing realm, especially those that are human-centred, creates considerable challenges as well as opportunities. This special session focuses on the current research trends in the areas of theory and implementation of such systems with a special focus on the role of fuzzy, intelligent and cognitive paradigms in dealing with the imprecision and uncertainty; selecting the best among multiple alternatives; fusing information from multiple sources; maintaining robustness and resiliency; forming swarm coordination, collaboration and cooperation; and finally, representing and interpreting information and knowledge and moving toward wisdom. This topic spans beyond the borders of single fields of study and embraces multiple disciplines. It also has a wide range of real applications from high tech to daily life.
SCOPE and Topics: This special session will highlight the latest development in this rapidly growing research area of Intelligent & Cognitive Decision Making of Social Things. Authors are invited to submit their original and unpublished work in the areas including (but not limited to) the following:
- Nano/Macro Swarm Systems
- Cognitive Swarm Agents
- Medical Intelligence and well-being
- Intelligent Fuzzy Agents
- Human-Machine Intelligence Systems
- Adaptive Fuzzy Services
- Human Behavioral Analysis
- Social Animals Behavioral Analysis
- Intelligent Evolving Systems
- Social Organisms Autocommunication
- Sensing, Perception and Reasoning Technology
- Intelligent Environment/ Living Environment/ learning Environment
- Social Organisms Interspecific communication
- Social Organisms Communication (Visual/ Auditory/ Olfactory/ Electric/ Touch/ Seismic/Thermal/ Chemical)
- Real-World Applications of Cognitive Decision Making e.g. in Engineering, Physics, Medicine, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Cosmology, Agriculture, Geology, Sociology, Literature, and Art.

About the organizers:
Mohammad-R. Akbarzadeh-T. is currently a professor and director of the Center of Excellence on Soft Computing and Intelligent Information Processing (SCIIP), department of electrical engineering, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. He received his Ph.D. on Evolutionary Optimization and Fuzzy Control of Complex Systems from the department of electrical and computer engineering at the University of New Mexico (UNM) in 1998. From 1996-2003, he was also affiliated with the NASA Center for Autonomous Control Engineering at UNM. In 2006 and 2017, he was also with the Berkeley Initiative on Soft Computing (BISC), UC Berkeley as a visiting scholar. In 2007, he also served as a consulting faculty at the Department of Aerospace and Aeronautic Engineering, Purdue University.
Prof. Akbarzadeh is the founding president of the Intelligent Systems Scientific Society of Iran and the founding councilor representing the Iranian Coalition on Soft Computing in IFSA. He is also a senior member of the IEEE and the founding faculty councilor of the IEEE student branch until 2008. His research interests are in the areas of bio-inspired computing/optimization, fuzzy logic and control, soft computing, multi-agent systems, complex systems, robotics, cognitive sciences, and medical informatics. He has published over 450 peer-reviewed articles in these and related research fields.
Nasibeh Rady Raz received two B.S. degrees in computer engineering and English literature, and M.S. degree in artificial intelligence. Her thesis was entitled, “Bio-inspired Nanonetworks with Local Fuzzy Vision for Targeted Cancer Drug Delivery.” She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in artificial intelligence and robotics with Department of Computer Engineering, Center of Excellence on Soft Computing and Intelligent Information Processing, in Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran. She is also a Lecturer at several institutes of higher education. Her research interests are in the areas of artificial intelligence, complex systems, biomimicry, swarm intelligence, cognitive sciences, targeted nanodrug delivery, cancer research, soft computing, stem cells, swarm-fuzzy nano robotics, and computational cellular/molecular biology.
