Call for Papers
Advances in Cognitive and Emotional Information Processing (ACEIP)
Submissions are invited for a special session on Advances in Cognitive and Emotional Information Processing (ACEIP) to be held within the 2012 International Symposium on Neural Networks (ISNN), taking place from 11th to 14th July in Shenyang (China).
ABSTRACT
Cognitive and Emotional Information Processing techniques have encountered a large success within the scientific community, specially due to the impact they naturally have in diverse application fields as commerce, tourism, education and health. A wide number of advanced solutions have been proposed on purpose spanning from User/Web Interfaces and Mobile Computing to Robotics, Ambient Intelligence, and Computer Support to Collaborative Work/Learning. The objective is devoted to adequately interpret humans’ opinions, tastes and needs and consequently provide not only useful direct feedback to them but also a valid and natural support to the interactions they can have between themselves and with smart cooperative environments. This asks for development of expert systems, able to manage large amount of information coming from sensory activity, to intelligently process it, and to promptly and knowledgeably respond to human actions according to natural interaction standards and by means of suitable actuary devices. Information processing therefore plays a central role from this perspective, operating at different levels, from multimodal digital data manipulation to semantic metadata processing, and necessarily encompassing the most challenging computational intelligence paradigms for contextual adaptation, social-emotional competence, and cognitive reasoning abilities. Moreover, if on one hand the distillation of knowledge from such type data is a key factor for most of the applications it must be also said on the other hand that the extremely unstructured nature of these contents and their exponentially growing size make it a very difficult task to be faced. Information scientists working in related areas such as multimedia, machine learning, knowledge management, affective computing or semantic web are invited to contribute to attain the above research aims, by sharing their expertise in this emerging interdisciplinary field, and at the same time paving the way to new exciting research topics in the cognitive and emotional information processing field.
TOPICS
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
• Socio-Emotional Data Processing Techniques and Applications
• Human Behaviour Analysis and Understanding
• Cognitive Systems for Multimodal Interaction
• Cognitive-Emotional Models in Cooperative Scenarios
• Computational Intelligence Techniques for Affective Computing
• Semantic Information Processing
• Multimedia-interfaced Systems for Human-Machine Interaction
TIMEFRAME
• February 15th, 2012: Due date for Special Session papers
• April 1st, 2012: Notification of paper acceptance to authors
• May 1st, 2012: Camera-ready of accepted papers
• July 11th, 2012: Special Session date
SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS
Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers (6-8 pages normally and 10 pages maximum) by the submission deadline through the online submission system. The submission of a paper implies that the paper is original and has not been submitted under review or copyright protected elsewhere and will be presented by an author if accepted. All submitted papers will be refereed by experts in the field based on the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and clarity. The authors of accepted papers will have an opportunity to revise their papers and take consideration of the referees’ comments and suggestions. All papers accepted by and presented at BICS 2012 will be published by Springer as multiple volumes of Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence which will be indexed by EI and ISTP. Selected papers will be published in special issues of several SCI journals.
ORGANIZERS
• Stefano Squartini, Marche Polytechnic University (Italy)
• Erik Cambria, National University of Singapore (Singapore)
• Francesco Piazza, Marche Polytechnic University (Italy)
• Bjoern Schuller, Technical University of Munich (Germany)

UNR offers two PhD fellowships up for grabs starting next year, open for all research areas, though we would certainly like to see applications from the ci-games community. Our faculty in that area are:
Kostas Bekris - motion planning, simulated robotics
Bobby Bryant - ANN, GA, simulated biological intelligence
Sushil Louis - evolutionary computation
You must get accepted into our PhD program to receive a fellowship.
The deadline for fall 2012 is February 28, for both the fellowship application and the graduate program application. The following links provide the necessary information:

2012 The Alan Turing Year
A Centenary Celebration of the Life and Work of Alan Turing
June 23, 2012, is the Centenary of Alan Turing’s birth in London. During his relatively brief life, Turing made a unique impact on the history of computing, computer science, artificial intelligence, developmental biology, and the mathematical theory of computability. See http://www.turingcentenary.eu/ for more details and related events around the world.
A remarkable example is the AISB/IACAP World Congress 2012, where several symposia related with Turing will be held. Be first to comment this article | Add as favourites (10) | Quote this article on your site | Views: 87 |

EAIS 2012
2012 IEEE Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems
This EAIS Edition will be held in Madrid, Spain, between May 17-18, 2012.
One of the important research challenges today is to develop new theoretical methods, algorithms, and implementations of systems with a higher level of flexibility and autonomy, we can say with higher level of intelligence. Intelligent systems should be dynamically evolving and be able to adapt and learn. That is, the system must be able to evolve, to self-develop, to self-organize, to self-evaluate and to self-improve. The emerging area of Evolving Intelligent Systems targets non-stationary processes by developing novel on-line learning methods and computationally efficient algorithms for real-time applications. Some of the natural implementation areas of Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent systems are: wireless sensor networks, assisted ambient intelligence, embedded soft computing diagnostics and prognostics algorithms, intelligent agents, smart evolving sensors, autonomous robotic systems etc.
EAIS 2012 continues the tradition established by the successful series of IEEE conferences starting with EFS’06 (Lake District, England), GEFS’08 (Witten-Bomerhoz, Germany), ESDIS’09 (Nashville, USA), EIS’10 (Leicester, England), and EAIS’11 (Paris, France). It will provide a friendly atmosphere and will be a leading international forum focusing on discussing problems, research, results and future directions in the area of Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems.
