ReteCog.Net 2011 Workshop
The Architectures of Mind
Workshop ReteCog.Net 2011: The architectures of Mind
Dates: 4-6 July
Venue: ASLab, Madrid, Spain
ReteCog 2011 is centered around the major topic of COGNITIVE ARCHITECTURE. Unveiling the architecture of the mind is a cornerstone of all our research programmes. The workshop aims to bring together leading scholars, scientists and engineers who use analytic and synthetic methods both to understand the astonishing processing properties of biological systems, specifically those of the living brain, and to exploit such knowledge to advance engineering methods for building artificial systems with higher levels of cognitive competence.
ReteCog 2011 is a meeting point of mind theorists, cognitive systems engineers and brain scientists where cross-domain ideas are fostered in the hope of getting new emerging insights on the nature, operation and extractable capabilities of brains and minds. This multiple approach is necessary because the progressively more accurate data about brains is producing a growing need of both a quantitative and deep theoretical understanding and an associated capacity to manipulate these data and translate it into engineering applications rooted in sound theories. ReteCog 2011 is intended for both i) life scientists who use and develop mathematical and engineering approaches for a better, system-level understanding of the cognitive behavior of complex biological systems and ii) technology researchers that aim to understand and build systems with higher cognitive competences. ReteCog 2011 is organized to foster collaboration patterns that encourage cross-fertilization across the workshop domains topics. This emphasizes the role of ReteCog.net as a major meeting point for researchers and practitioners in the areas of natural and artificial cognitive systems.
Debates across disciplines will enrich researchers with complementary perspectives from diverse scientific fields. To help in this direction of tight interaction, the workshop will accept a maximum of 50 communications.

Lectures on Machine Consciousness - Madrid - February 2011
From January 31st to February 4th, 2011, the Scalab research group from the Carlos III University of Madrid will hold the 4th International Seminar on New Issues in Artificial Intelligence. This edition of the AI postgraduate seminar series will include a keynote lecture on Machine Consciousness by Prof. Antonio Chella.
 Antonio Chella was born in Florence on March 4, 1961. In 1988 he obtained his laurea degree cum laude in Electronic Engineering from the University of Palermo and in 1993 he obtained his PhD in Computer Engineering defending a thesis on neural networks for robot vision. From 1992 to 1998 he was a scientific researcher at the University of Palermo, where he became an associate professor in 1998 and a professor in robotics in 2001. He is the head of RoboticsLab. His main research interests concern machine consciousness and cognitive architectures for robotics.He is the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of machine Consciousness. He is a member of IEEE, AAAI, IAPR, AI*IA, AICA, SIREN.
The seminar lectures will cover, amongst others, an introduction to the field of Machine Consciousness, related work and related fields of scientific study, the emerging importance of Machine Consciousness for AI, current state of research, theoretical foundations, and experimental results.
An abstract of the lectures can be found here. The event will take place (free entrance) at UC3M Leganés Campus. Check the Seminar Program.

Paladyn. Journal of Behavioral Robotics
 Paladyn. Journal of Behavioral Robotics is a new journal launched by Versita (www.versita.com/pjbr), a science publisher in Central and Eastern Europe and distributed by Springer.
Paladyn is a peer-reviewed, electronic-only journal that publishes the original research results on topics broadly related to biologically and psychologically inspired robots and other behavior-based autonomous systems. The journal focuses especially on cognitive developmental robotics which emerges from developmental psychology, embodied cognition, autonomous mental development and social behavior.
The journal publishes research that covers such topics as: developmental robotics, cognitive robotics, evolutionary robotics, artificial embodied agents, self-organizing robot swarms, robot learning and adaptation, human-robot interaction and bio-inspired robot vision.
The first two issues of the PJBR are already online:
Vol.1 iss.1: www.springerlink.com/content/2080-9778/1/1/
Vol.1 iss.2: www.springerlink.com/content/2080-9778/1/2/
