IEEE CIS Women in Computational Intelligence (WCI) Meeting/Reception
Chair: Fahmida Chowdhury, IEEE CIS WCI Committee Chair
Monday, March 30, 2009, 06:30PM-07:30PM, Belmont Room

All women attendees of the conference are invited and urged to attend; others who are interested the activities of the WCI are also welcome. Particularly, graduate students and junior researchers attending the SSCI would benefit from networking with senior researchers, faculty members and funding agency representatives. Senior researchers and faculty members would benefit from the funding information, particularly regarding the funding opportunities in emerging interdisciplinary areas.

The agenda includes:
1. Brief presentation on the WCI activities
2. Research and funding opportunities at the US National Science Foundation
3. "Should you spend time reviewing articles for journals?" Town-hall type discussion with audience participation.
4. "Should you get into interdisciplinary research?" Town-hall type discussion with audience participation.

If you have questions, please contact Fahmida Chowdhury (fchowdhu@nsf.gov).

IEEE CIS Chapter Meeting
Chair: Slawo Wesolkowski, IEEE CIS VP Members Activities
Tuesday, March 31, 2009, 11:00AM-01:00PM, Edgewood Room

The IEEE CIS will hold a Chapters meeting for current chapter chairs
and anyone considering starting a chapter in their IEEE section
(generally a city in North America or a country or region in the rest of the world).
In the past, this has been a great networking event for
both existing and aspiring chapter chairs. Everyone who is interested
is welcome to attend. If you cannot attend and are interested in
starting a chapter please visit the IEEE CIS Chapters webpage for more information - www.ieee-cis.org/members/chapters/
