Here's your opportunity to learn more about TFIA as a Task Force within the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society.
Browse through the many facets of TFIA having a closer look to our mission and vision.

The intersection between Computational Intelligence and Agent technology opens new significant scenarios in many fields where the representation and management of complex systems play a fundamental role.
In the formulation of Agent-based systems, the role of uncertainty is crucial for an efficient and coherent resolution of complex problems. Agents overcome classical programs thanks to their inner capabilities to be autonomous and to adapt their behaviour with the changing of the environment where agents live and interact. This means that inevitably they meet uncertainty during their work, or in many cases, for the high complexity of the problem, the information they handle is (or needs to be) approximate. Only in recent years there has been a growing awareness that Computational Intelligence handling of uncertainty in agents is equally important as other features of agent paradigm. Fuzzy logic and, more generally CI, does not wish to be alternative to the consolidated agent methodology but wants to appear integrative with it as this task force shall be involved to show.

Planned Technical Committee Activities
1. Organize a flexible TF organization. 2. Plan and execute TF policy. 3. Organize special paper session(s) in IEEE conferences. Two special tracks around Agent technology are currently running in WCCI 2006. See details for special session # S3, # S5. 4. Conduct meetings during annual IEEE CIS conferences. 5. Collaborate with other professional societies to promote computational intelligence–based agent research and development. 6. Special Issue on “Computational Intelligence Agents” to prepare in high-quality journal or dedicated books.
