Ms. Anuradha Ariyaratne has been selected to present a paper at the IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI) which will be held in Vancouver, Canada, 24-29 July 2016. The conference is financially sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS). The IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI) is the largest technical event in the field of computational intelligence.

Ms. Anuradha Ariyaratne (Lecturer (Probationary), General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University) is currently a postgraduate student at the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Applied Science, University of Sri Jayewardenepura. A paper (A Self-tuning Modified Firefly Algorithm to Solve Univariate Nonlinear Equations with Complex Roots) related to her postgraduate study under the supervision of Dr. TGI Fernando and Prof. Sunethra Weerakoon has been selected to present at IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC 2016) under WCCI. The IEEE WCCI 2016 will host three conferences: The 2016 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2016), the 2016 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2016), and the 2016 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC 2016) under one roof. It encourages cross-fertilization of ideas among the three big areas and provides a forum for intellectuals from all over the world to discuss and present their research findings on computational intelligence.
