Dear CIS members:
Do you want the opportunity to win two iPad 2* and free CIS memberships?
We have two exciting competitions for you!
1. T-shirt Design Contest: Design a T-shirt, inspired by computational intelligence, that our members would proudly wear at school, work and outdoors! It's easy: just download the template, open it to your favorite image editor and start creating your designs; you can submit more than one design. Submission deadline is September 1, 2012. More information can be found at goo.gl/oFWVJ
2. Facebook Photo Contest: You just need to submit a photo to us for posting on our Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/IEEE.CIS), capturing yourself with the CIS logo. The three of them with the highest numbers of "like" on Facebook win. Sounds easy? Yes. Submission deadline is August 31, 2012. Hints: Be creative! Act fast to accumulate more "like". More information can be found at www.tinyurl.com/cisfb2012. If you have any questions, please send an email to cis.socialmedia@gmail.com

IEEE SSCI 2013 is one of the two flagship biennial international events sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (IEEE CIS) promoting all aspects of the theory and applications of computational intelligence. The IEEE SSCI co-locates over 40 technical meetings at one location. This event attracts top researchers, professionals, and students from around the world. The IEEE SSCI 2013 (Singapore) follows the IEEE SSCI 2007 meeting held in Honolulu, the IEEE SSCI 2009 meeting held in Nashville and the IEEE SSCI 2011 meeting held in Paris.
The regular registration includes attendance of any session of any technical meeting, complete set of proceedings of all meetings, lunches, coffee breaks and the banquet. The IEEE SSCI meeting features a large number of keynotes, tutorials, panel and special sessions all of which are open to all participants with a single registration. The IEEE CIS will offer a limited number of travel grants for Students and travel grants for Researchers from Developing Countries who are presenting a paper at an IEEE CIS-sponsored conference such as IEEE SSCI 2013. Applicants must have both IEEE and IEEE CIS memberships and their submissions must have received overall good reviews. More information is available from the travel grants webpage. Best paper awards are also planned. Singapore is well connected to major cities around the world. There are numerous attractions in Singapore as well as in the neighboring countries.

Collaborative Fuzzy Clustering Algorithms: Some Refinements and Design Guidelines, by L. F. S. Coletta, L. Vendramin, E. R. Hruschka, R. J. G. B. Campello and W. Pedrycz, IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, Vol. 20, No. 3, June 2012, pp. 444 - 462.

“There are some variants of widely used Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm which support clustering data distributed across different sites. Those methods have been researched under different names, for instance, collaborative and parallel fuzzy clustering. This paper performs augmentation of two FCM-based clustering algorithms used to cluster distributed data by the following ways: arriving at some constructive ways of determining essential parameters of the algorithms and forming a set of systematically structured guidelines. Two examples to illustrated the second means, that is, a selection of the specific algorithm depending on the nature of the data environment and the assumptions being made about the number of clusters. A complete and complexity analysis is reported, including space, time and communication aspects. In addition, a series of detailed numeric experiments is used to illustrate the main ideas discussed in the study.”
