International Joint Conference IBERAMIA/SBIA/SBRN 2006 Lugar Ribeirao Preto cod Pais Brasil Inicio: 23 octubre 2006 Fin: 27 octubre 2006 Convocatoria: hasta 14-3-2006 Comentarios: Next year, the Brazilian AI Community has decided to organize an International Joint Conference, which will put together IBERAMIA'2006 (the X Ibero-American AI Conference), SBIA'2006 (the XVIII Brazilian AI Symposium) and SBRNī2006 (the VIII Brazilian Neural Networks Symposium). TOPICS BERAMIA/SBIA 2006 topics include: 1. AI Development Tools and Methodologies 2. AI Foundations (philosophy, epistemology, economics, etc.) 3. AI in Education and Intelligent Tutoring Systems 4. Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems 5. Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 6. Evolutionary Computation and Artificial Life 7. Hybrid Systems (Fuzzy, Genetic, Neural, Symbolic) 8. Knowledge Acquisition and Machine Learning 9. Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining 10. Knowledge Engineering, Ontologies and Case Based Reasoning 11. Knowledge Representation and Reasoning 12. Natural Language Processing 13. Planning and Scheduling 14. Robotics 15. Theoretical and Logical Methods 16. Uncertainty SBRN: the topics to be covered include, but are not limited to: 1. Applications: finances, data mining, neurocontrol, time series analysis, bioinformatics 2. Architectures: cellular NNs, hardware and software implementations, new models, weightless models 3. Cognitive Sciences: adaptive behaviour, natural language, mental processes 4. Computational Intelligence: evolutionary systems, fuzzy systems, hybrid systems 5. Learning: algorithms, evolutionary and fuzzy techniques, reinforcement learning, blind source separation 6. Neurobiological Systems: bio-inspired systems, biologically plausible networks, vision; Neurocontrol: robotics, dynamic systems, adaptive control 7. Neurosymbolic processing: hybrid approaches, logical inference, rule extraction, structured knowledge 8. Pattern Recognition: signal processing, artificial/computational vision 9. Theory: radial basis functions, Bayesian systems, function approximation, computability, learnability, computational complexity SUBMISSION DETAILS The papers should present substantial new results in theoretical, empirical and applied research in all areas of Artificial Intelligence. IBERAMIA/SBIA$B!G(B06 allows simultaneous submission of papers to other conferences, provided that this fact is clearly indicated by the authors in the submission process. All accepted papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lectures Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series. All authors of accepted papers will then be required to sign copyright release forms, and one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the conference to present the paper. Furthermore, it is the conference policy that at least one of the authors of accepted papers has to register for SBIA'06 before sending the camera-ready paper version. Otherwise, the paper will not be included in the proceedings. Papers must be written in English and should be no longer than 10 pages, including all tables, figures, and references, but excluding the cover page. Over-length papers may be rejected without review. It is recommended that the authors use the style file of Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes to minimise the possible conflict of paper length when preparing the camera ready. All papers received will be cross-reviewed by at least two referees in the topical area. IMPORTANT DATES March 14, 2006 - Deadline for submission of papers May 12, 2006 - Notification of authors June 5, 2004 - Deadline for final camera-ready papers CONTACT iarn2006@icmc.usp.br
