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.
Computational Finance and Economics Network
Researchers in computational finance and computational economics are invited to join the
Computational Finance and Economics Network.
Planned Activities
Conferences/Workshops
- To organize a track on Computational Finance and Computational Economics for the WCCI 2006 in CEC2006 (Vancouver).
- To promote IEEE in WEHIA 2005.
- To organize a session for the WCCI 2007.
- To organize IEEE Conference on Financial Engineering 2007 (to be approved by CIS).
- To seek for others non-IEEE conferences in order to collaborate with.
Publications
- We have already organized a Special Issue on Evolutionary Computation in Finance and Economics in the journal Computational Intelligence and all CEC 2005 papers were invited for
submissions of extended versions, forthcoming.
- To organize a Special Issue on Computational Finance and Economics in Applied Intelligence (the proposal has already been accepted by Moonis Ali, Editor-in-Chief) and all CEC 2006
papers would be invited for submissions of extended versions (this may be publicized in CEC 2006).
- To organize a Special Issue on Computational Finance and Economics in IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation (preliminary discussion with Xin Yao, Editor-in-Chief of TEC) and all
CEC 2007 papers would be invited for submissions of extended versions.
- Encourage members to submit papers to and get involved in the reviewing process of the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, which covers roughly half of the research done in
this area.
- To seek cooperation with WEHIA to publish WEHIA 2005 as an IEEE book (to be discussed with WEHIA organizers and David Fogel and Jim Keller, CIS VP for Publications).
Membership
- Recruit members to represent under-represented geographical areas and regions.
- Recruit members to represent emerging topical areas interested to CFETC and CIS.
- Assist in recruiting IEEE and CIS membership.
- Assist in technical activities held within CIS local chapters.
Others
- To solicit IEEE Senior Membership and Fellow nominations within the technical community.
- To pursue collaborations with other technical societies within and outside IEEE.
- To maintain CIS webpages with the most current, up-to-date information.
- To maintain a CFETC Network.
Meetings
Meetings will be called by the Chair once a year, usually in conjunction with the CIS AdCom meetings, or at IEEE conferences organized by the CFETC, or as requested by the CFETC members.
Sufficient advance notice of the meetings will be given to the members, as well as to other interested parties. The Chair shall prepare an agenda before the meeting, and shall prepare
minutes for distribution after the meeting.
Next meeting: A lunch meeting with the TC members would be organized at CEC 2006 (Vancouver).
Amendments
This Charter becomes official after at least 2/3 core members present at The Committee Meeting approves it. Subsequent changes and amendments also require 2/3
majority vote.
