Welcome

On behalf of the organising committee, I would like to invite you to participate in the 2009 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC 2009) to be held at the Nova Conference Centre and Cinema, Trondheim, Norway during May 18-21 (Monday - Thursday), 2009.

Sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, co-sponsored by the Evolutionary Programming Society and the Institution of Engineering and Technology. Our aim is to make IEEE CEC 2009 the largest technical event on computational intelligence in the world with the biggest impact in 2009. IEEE CEC 2009 will provide a stimulating forum for hundreds of scientists, engineers, educators and students from all over the world to disseminate their new research findings and exchange information on emerging areas of research in the fields. IEEE CEC 2009 will also create a pleasant environment for the participants to meet old friends and make new friends who share similar research interests.

Please be assured that IEEE CEC 2009 will be a very memorable event!
