This seminar will explore how computational intelligence can be applied to address challenges faced by developing nations. Computational intelligence (CI) can be viewed as an inter-disciplinary or across platform field of study for developing and applying computer systems that can exhibit human-like intelligence in solving varieties of problems. This seminar will assemble technologists, social scientists, engineers, policymakers, industrialists and other stakeholders, to explore the state-of-art for CI applications in developing countries and to identify avenues for future research. We invite scholars to contribute problem-based articles or presentation that will seek the continuing efforts to understand how CI techniques could lead to future improvements of the wellbeing of people living in developing countries.<\/p>\n

We invite papers and presentations that discuss applications, proposals or solutions in the following areas: food & agricultural pricing, accountability & transparency, security & terrorism, eLearning & educational technology, elections & electioneering, job & wealth creation, population & financial management, postal service management, wildlife preservation, environment, socio-cultural learning, crime control, corruption, legal & justice systems, alternative and renewable energy, etc., that are faced by developing countries.<\/p>\n

Papers and presentations should be guided by any of the following questions:<\/p>\n

\u2022 How can local CI experts, social scientists and policy makers work with international agencies to support development?
\n\u2022 How can CI be used to create applications that support and improve people’s day to day lives in developing countries?
\n\u2022 How can big and open data technologies help to solve problems that requires attention in developing countries?
\n\u2022 What research methodologies are relevant to applying CI techniques to solving problems in developing countries?<\/p>\n
