A New Era:
Neural Netwoks Society Becomes Computational Intelligence Society At its meeting in Savannah, Georgia on February 14th, the IEEE Technical Activities Board voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Neural Networks Society's motion to change its name to the COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SOCIETY. To become official, the name needs to be approved by the Board of Directors which is expected to meet on June 20, 2004. As many of you may remember, the motion to change NNS's name originated with the unanimous resolution adopted by the ADCOM at its meeting in Washington, DC last November. Effective fall 2004 upon approval, only the new name of the Society will be featured in our promotional flyers, on the periodicals' front covers, and in the renewal materials. I'm sure you are delighted with the change! The new name is more descriptive and inclusive than the old one which only covered a fraction of the Society's scope. In the new name of Computational Intelligence we have encompassed technologies of neural networks, fuzzy sys-
