International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Security (CIS) is a major annual international conference to bring together researchers, engineers, developers and practitioners from academia and industry working in all areas of two crucial fields in information processing: computational intelligence (CI) and information security (IS), to share the experience, exchange and cross-fertilize ideas. In particular,the series of CIS conference provides an ideal platform to explore the potential applications of CI models, algorithms and technologies to IS.

 Following the great success of CIS'2005-2019, the 16th conference CIS'2020 serves as a forum for the dissemination of the state-of-the-art research, development, and implementations of systems, technologies and applications in these two broad fields. CIS'2020 will be held at Nanning, China on November 27-30, 2020.

 Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts written in English. The submission of a paper implies that the paper is original and has not been submitted to elsewhere for possible publication. All submissions will be blindly reviewed by experts in the field based on originality, significance, quality and clarity. Authors must not reveal any author information in the submitted paper(s), otherwise the paper(s) will be rejected immediately without going through the reviewing process. Authors should use the Latex style files or MS-Word templates to format their papers. The length of a submitted paper should not exceed 5 pages in the two-column format of Conference Publishing Services (CPS). The accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by the CPS, and be further submitted to the indexing companies for possible indexing, including EI and ISTP. For your information, all past CIS'2005-CIS'2019 proceedings have been successfully indexed in either SCI or EI. Details can be found at:

The high-quality accepted papers, with a significant extension, will be further selected and recommended to the following journals:

    Connection Science (SCI indexed);
    International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (IJPRAI) (SCI indexed);
    International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering (IJCSE) (EI indexed);
    International Journal of Embedded Systems (IJES).
