Video: How to publish your research in IEEE CIS publications

A panel discussion on how to publish in the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society's publications. This discussion wraps up the individual talks by Professors Xin Yao, Kay Chen Tan, Derong Liu, Garrison Greenwood, Chin-Teng Lin and Simon M. Lucas . This panel session was part of the CEC 2013 conference.

How to publish your research: Video of Professor Simon M. Lucas

Professor Simon M. Lucas talks about how to publish research in IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence in Games. This talk was part of a panel session at CEC 2013 and mostly talks about what kind of papers are published in TCIAIG.

How to publish your research: Video of Professor Chin-Teng Lin

Professor Chin-Teng Lin, who is the editor-in-chief of IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, speaks about publishing in that journal. This talk was part of a panel discussion at the CEC 2013 conference. Some of the points he makes in this talk are applicable to publishing in most journals:

• Read existing papers, know the field
• Present an issue of significance
• Choose a journal that fits well with your research
• Use the correct format for that journal
• Have focus & vision, don't be too ambitious with your paper
• Write clearly
• Get pre-review, ask  your colleagues to check your paper before submission
• Proofread!
• Be patient, reviews take time

How to publish your research: Video of Professor Garrison Greenwood

Professor Garrison Greenwood talks about how to publish your research in the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation. This talk was part of a panel session at the CEC 2013 conference.

The main points of this talk are:

• Establish the context of your research in the Related Research section following the introduction (as a side-note, in other fields this is the introduction: why does computer science insist of separating them?

• Use enough citations, and no more

• Write enough detail for a competent researcher to replicate your work, don't try to write a tutorial

• Read the instructions for authors

• Use good grammar and spelling

How to publish your research: Video of Professor Derong Liu

Professor Derong Liu talks about how to publish your research in IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems at a panel session at the CEC 2013 conference. This talk gives a lot of information about the editorial and review process, as well as how to increase your chances of having a paper accepted and even how to get on the editorial board of the journal.

How to publish your research: Video of Professor Xin Yao

This is a video of a talk given by Professor Xin Yao as part of a panel session at the CEC 2013 conference. A couple of the most salient points that I noticed:

1) If you want to publish your research, you must first do good research
2) Contact the editors of the journals you want to publish in before submitting

WCCI 2012 Panel Session on Computational Intelligence in Education and University Curricula

The following panel session at WCCI 2012 is organised by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society's Curriculum Subcommittee (which I happen to serve on), and will be held Thursday, June 14, 4:10-5:10pm.

Chairs: Robert Kozma and Jennie Si

Panelists: Haibo He, Janusz Kaczprzyk, Jim Keller, Luis Magdalena, Marios Polycarpou, Lipo Wang

Computational Intelligence is a relatively new research field. A lot of educational materials have been created in various fields of CI in the past decades. However, due to the field's relatively youth, its fundamental achievements has not been organized into a comprehensive curriculum yet. It is crucial for the development of the field to have high-quality educational materials on the state of art of CI. This allows attracting and educating talented and enthusiastic students and documenting the progress in the field. The panel will discuss various areas of CI education, including existing databases and course materials, online resources and video lectures, development of new textbooks, open-source software, and others. Various recommendations for future actions will be discussed as well.
