Computational Intelligence, Communications, and Business Analytics

Preparing a foreword for the proceedings of an international conference, in the form of
an edited volume, cannot but be an intellectual pleasure which I can ill afford to desist
myself from. Accordingly, I avail myself of an opportunity to write a few words for the
foreword of the recently concluded First International Conference on Computational
Intelligence, Business Analytics, and Communication (CICBA 2017). It was organized
by Calcutta Business School in association with the Computer Society of India, on
March 24–25, 2017 at the Calcutta Business School campus. The conference was
technically sponsored by IEEE Kolkata Chapter, IEEE Young Professionals Kolkata,
as well as the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, Kolkata Chapter. The proceedings
of the conference have been published by Springer Nature, in their CCIS
series.
