The recent advances in computational intelligence and knowledge engineering have deeply changed people’s daily lives. The implementation of such techniques addresses various fields and makes things ‘smart’ in different domains, such as Big Data and Cloud Computing, AI and Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Cybersecurity, Business, Health-care, Energy, Transportation systems, Environment, Industrial systems and other emerging technologies.  This event will bring harmonious relationships between faculties and students as well. The students can also take initiative in various aspects of the organization of the event. The research scholars and students can also benefit from this association in defining new research avenues and for fabricating novel research problems of critical importance.
