Paper Types and Length
Two paper lengths were accepted for the workshop, each subject to the formatting requirements set out in the submission guidelines.
| Paper type | Maximum length |
|---|---|
| Regular paper | 12 pages |
| Short paper | 6 pages |
Templates were provided in LaTeX and MS Word. Full details of formatting, file preparation and submission are given on the Paper Submission page.
Submission Process
Paper submissions for UKCI 2023 were handled through EasyChair. Accepted papers were published in the Advances in Computational Intelligence System proceedings series by Springer, and registration was required for camera-ready submission.

The call for papers for the 22nd UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence invited original research contributions spanning the theory, methods and applications of computational intelligence. The workshop has become a long-standing meeting point for researchers, students and practitioners working at the intersection of intelligent algorithms and real-world problems, and it typically sits within an annual programme of technical sessions, keynote talks and collaborative discussion around a shared venue.
Topics of interest covered the wider field of computational intelligence, with suggested themes including neural networks and deep learning, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence and collective behaviour, fuzzy systems and soft computing, reinforcement learning and planning, genetic programming and optimisation, data mining and machine learning, and the application of computational intelligence in robotics. The breadth of the list reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the field, where ideas from biological inspiration, statistical learning and intelligent control continue to converge.
Contributing authors were given guidance on preparing submissions, including formatting requirements, publication arrangements, copyright considerations and the review process, with accepted papers expected to appear in the workshop proceedings. The call also extended beyond formal papers, encouraging delegates to register and attend, to submit position or workshop material, and to present current work in progress to an audience drawn from academia, industry and government.
The workshop programme was organised by an organising committee of colleagues in the field, chaired by a well-known researcher in computational intelligence, with a wider programme of keynote speakers, invited speakers and contributing authors shaping the technical sessions. Beyond the formal schedule, the event aimed to provide a platform where experts from different domains can meet, discuss current and future topics, and take advantage of the opportunity to exchange ideas with peers across the community.
