Call for Papers 2026

The 8th International Conference on New Trends in Computational Intelligence (NTCI 2026) will be held in Jinzhou, China during November 6-8, 2026. Following the successes of previous events, NTCI 2026 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.
More information on the Conference may be found at https://www.ntci.org/

Prospective authors are invited to contribute high-quality papers to NTCI 2026. 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_cis@163.com.
