AIMS AND SCOPES
---------------
The 6th International Conference on Computational Intelligence in Economics
and Finance (CIEF 2007) will be held as a part of the 10th Joint Conference
on Information Sciences (JCIS 2007). CIEF continues the tradition of
featuring applications of computational intelligence to solve challenging
problems in economics and finance. Papers devoted to new techniques and/or
novel applications are solicited. Tools related to computational
intelligence, such as statistics, econometrics, and various numerical
