* CONTEXT *
--------------------------------------------------------------

The 2016 IEEE Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems
(2016 IEEE EAIS) will be held in Natal (Brazil), a beautiful city
located at the Brazil's northeast coast. It is the Brazilian closest
capital to/from Europe and Africa. Natal has several tourist
attractions and is famous for its natural beauty, for its historical
monuments and buildings and for its gorgeous beaches. The city also
boasts the second largest urban park in Brazil and was one of the
host cities of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

2016 IEEE EAIS will provide a friendly atmosphere and will be a leading
international forum focusing on the discussion of recent advances, the
exchange of recent innovations and the outline of open important future
challenges in the area of Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems.

Over the past decade, this area has emerged to play an important role
on a broad international level in todayb s real-world applications,
especially those ones with high complexity and dynamics change. Its
embedded modelling and learning methodologies are able to cope with
real-time demands, changing operation conditions, varying environmental
influences, human behaviors, knowledge expansion scenarios and drifts
in online data streams.

2016 IEEE EAIS is organized by the IEEE Technical Committee on
Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems, SMC Society. 2016 IEEE
EAIS will be held for the first time in Latin America, however, the
conference series has a history starting in 2006 in Lake District
(England). It was held after that in Witten-Bommerholz (Germany),
Nashville (USA), Leicester (England), Paris (France), Madrid (Spain),
Singapore, Linz (Austria) and Douai (France). Authors of selected
papers will be invited to submit extended versions for possible
inclusion in a special issue of the Journal Evolving Systems
(Springer).
