ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TRACK

The track will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of recent research and applications of computational intelligence models such as those used in machine learning, data analysis, simulation and optimization. It aims to encourage and facilitate interdisciplinary communication amongst university and industry professionals applying techniques such as Evolutionary/GA, fuzzy and ANN models.

Topics include:

computational intelligence and cognitive systems,
fuzzy systems,
evolutionary/genetic algorithms,
artificial neural networks,
rule-based systems
intelligent agents
model-based reasoning
case-based reasoning
methodologies, models and algorithms.

Papers dealing with the applications of computational intelligence in a widest sense are welcome,- examples include:

Classification, Data analysis,
Fault tolerance, Forecasting,
Knowledge acquisition,
Economics and Finance,
Planning, pre-processing of data,
Process control, Robotics,
Speech and image recognition,
Web intelligence,
Hybrid systems which combine different techniques,
Methods or tools for evaluating ANN performance,
Reinforcement Learning,
Simulation tools for research, education, development,
Neural nets for simulation: modelling of components parts of a system,
Optimization & evaluation of simulation models using neural nets, decision support in simulation models,
Techniques and tools for simulation and programming of artificial intelligence systems.

Submission of Papers:

Papers reporting on original and unpublished research results in any of the above topics are solicited. Electronic submission should include, on the cover page, authors names, affiliations, addresses, fax and phone numbers, and email addresses. Please indicate clearly the corresponding author. Include up to 6 keywords from the above list and an abstract of no more than 300 words. Please submit an electronic copy of your full draft manuscript (not to exceed 10 double-spaced pages including figures, tables, and references, which will reduce in the final proceedings to a maximum of 5 double column pages for regular papers and 8 double column pages for extended papers) by email to Track Program Chair: Dr Bai Li, School of Computer Science and Information Technology, The University of Nottingham, Nottingham, email: mailto:bai@cs.nottingham.ac.uk?subject=AI-ESM2003., or to the Track Program co-Chair Dr Lars Nolle, Department of Computing and mathematics, The Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham NG1 4BU, email: mailto:lars.nolle@ntu.ac.uk?subject=AI-ESM2003
