The 18th Annual UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence, UKCI2018 this year is being hosted by Nottingham Trent University. UKCI is the premier UK event for presenting leading research on all aspects of Computational Intelligence. The aim of this Workshop is to provide a forum for the academic community and industry to share ideas about developing and using Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques, the new trends and to exchange views and ideas. CI is a rapidly expanding research field, attracting a large number of scientists, engineers and practitioners working in areas such as fuzzy systems, neural networks, evolutionary computation, evolving systems and machine learning.

A growing number of companies are employing CI techniques to improve previous solutions and to deal with new problems. These include evolving systems that allow high performance in spite of changes which are either external or internal to the system, thereby increasing the re-usability of developed systems. This also include smart, intelligent and autonomous systems, self-learning, self-adapting, self-calibrating and self-tuning. UKCI-2018 will take place in Nottingham Trent University, located conveniently within the City Campus of the University, a few minutes walk from the city centre and all tourist attractions. The city offers excellent transport links, with easy access to the M1, railway station and airport links.
