IEEE ColCACI 2018 – 1st Colombian Conference on Applications in Computational Intelligence
Medellin, Colombia
May, 16-18th, 2018
IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Colombian Chapter and IEEE Colombia Section have chosen Medellin as the venue for the First IEEE Colombian Conference on Applications in Computational Intelligence ColCACI 2018. This event seeks to be the most important conference in computational intelligence (CI) in Colombia putting together academic, scientific and industry. During the last years, Medellin has gained national and international recognition for the development of multiple initiatives in the field of computational applications. These tools have been used successfully to solve some government and education institutions problems. Medellin has 10 universities with undergraduate and graduate programs related to CI. This has allowed the local companies to grow and has encouraged multinational industries to open branch offices in the city. Furthermore, an increasing number of startups has uplifted the innovation ecosystem and contributed to the socio-economic development of the region. Meanwhile, local universities have attracted a new generation of highly skilled professors and researchers, whom have helped to establish doctoral programs and mature research groups.
We hope that both local academy and industry will take active participation in IEEE ColCACI 2018. Papers will be reviewed by an international technical committee under the IEEE standard procedure and accepted papers must be presented in oral session. This process is mandatory for the paper to be published in the conference proceedings (IEEE Xplore database, including ISBN).

PAPER SUBMISSION
We invite authors to submit high-quality full papers reporting original and novel research results on all above topics. Papers must be written in Spanish or English, unpublished and not submitted elsewhere. Full papers must be formatted as the standard IEEE double-column conference template. Maximum 6 pages are allowed for each paper, including all illustrations and references.
Papers must be submitted exclusively using the link http://ieee‐colcaci.org/a
PUBLICATION (And Special Issues):
-Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE ColCACI 2018 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®
Best papers will be candidates to be published in a extended version in REDIN (Engineering Faculty journal – Universidad de Antioquia)
The manuscripts presented to the journal must be substantially improved compared to the versions published in the conference proceedings: 50% of the material should be new and the exposition improved.
An author cannot publish more than one article as the main author or as a co-author in the same issue of the journal; if one author submits several papers and they are approved, one article will appear in the special issue and the other in an ordinary issue.
All papers to be published in the journal, must be submitted through the OJS indicating in the cover letter that the article belongs to a work presented at the COLCACI2018 conference. These are submitted to the regular process of peer evaluation used in the journal and the editors of the journal in the subject area are responsible for the decision.
The papers derived from the conference would not be published in a special issue, but in an ordinary issue that would be dedicated to the papers of the conference in case they are sufficient, if the approved papers are insufficient for an issue, it would be filled out with other papers submitted by the regular process of the journal, hopefully from the same area.
