IEEE CIS > Technical Activities
Computational Finance and Economics TC
Name
This organization is known as the Computational Finance and Economics Technical Committee (CFETC) of the Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) of the Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc. (IEEE).
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of the CFETC is to promote the research, development, education, and understanding of computational finance and economics. Scope of computational
finance and economics includes:
- the development of advanced computing techniques for financial and economic applications;
- through the application of advanced computing techniques, advance the subjects of finance and economic;
- to bring research in computational methods to real-world financial and economic applications.
Membership
The CFETC is open to all members of the CIS, as well as to other technical professionals as affiliates. There are three grades of members: active, non-active, and
affiliate. Active members are those who regularly participate in CFETC activities and meetings and shall be eligible to vote on matters before the committee.
Non-active members are those who have an interest in the CFETC activities but are unable to actively participate. Non-active members will automatically become active
members when present at a CFETC meeting. Affiliates are non-IEEE members who have an interest in CFETC activities and meetings, but will not be eligible to vote on
matters before the committee.
Officers
The CFETC Chair shall be appointed by the President of the CIS based on the recommendations from the committee, for a one-year term and up to a maximum of three
terms. Each November, the CFETC shall make recommendation to the President for appointment of the CFETC Chair for the following year. CFETC members are appointed by
the CFETC Chair on an annual basis.
Funding
There is no membership fee for joining the CFETC. Funding for the committee shall be provided by the CIS in the annual budget request. Once approved by the CIS
AdCom, funds will be available to support the CFETC activities. The Chair shall be responsible for the appropriate use of the approved funds. The Chair produces an
annual financial report to the AdCom.
Activities
The CFETC shall engage in various activities in order to promote wider acceptance of computational finance and economics as a prominent, multi-disciplinary
research, identify and promote new areas of research in computational finance and economics, collaborate on production of tutorials and book series within the area,
promote IEEE Senior Members and Fellows program, maintain the Committee's website, maintain a network of expertise in computational finance and economics, and
organize conferences, workshops or special sessions in CIS-sponsored conferences. The CFETC will actively work with the organizers of CIS-sponsored conferences to
insure their technical excellence.

The next Cifer Conference is being planned in 2011 along side the IEEE SSCI
conference which will be hosted either in Europe or Asia next. This is still
pending approval. For more details contact Robert Golan.
We are also planning special sessions and a panel session at WCCI 2010 in
Barcelona, Spain. http://www.wcci2010.org/ - To seek for others non-IEEE conferences in order to collaborate with.
Publications
A newsletter has been started.
The Computational Finance & Economics Technical Committee Newsletter Editors
will be:
Dr. Agostino Capponi, Robert Golan, Dr. Han La Poutre
Submission details are as follows:
This electronic letter is intended as a source for rapid dissemination of
information to the computational intelligence society around the world.
We welcome submissions in the form of novel proposals or replies to earlier
proposals submitted by other authors.
The length of each proposal should be approximately 2-3 pages. The main
purpose of the newsletter is to stimulate discussion among specialists, both
academicians and industrial practitioners, on important topics at the
frontier of machine learning, artificial intelligence computational finance
and economics. These areas include agent-based computational modeling,
financial calibration of interest rate, equity and credit risk models,
computational econometrics and statistics, computational modeling of dynamic
macroeconomic systems, computational tools for the design of automated
Internet markets. The newsletter can be thought of as an initial vehicle to
get or provide feedback on research problems. The authors interacting on
this newsletter may later consider writing papers and submitting them to
leading research journals.
Content: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: computational
methods for calibrating financial models, pattern recognition techniques for
identifying structures in social and trading networks, (real) option based
methodologies to value investments, sequential decision making policies
under uncertainty, probabilistic models for the evolution of financial,
electronic and prediction markets, analytical methods for characterizing
value and cost of information.
Register Audio/Video: You may register a video or audio telling us about
your current research and problems that are currently under your
investigation. You may share views on research problems with other leading
experts in the field.
