NiSIS 2006 - 2nd European Symposium on Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems
29 November 2006 - 1 December 2006
Austria
Introduction to NiSIS 2006
NiSIS 2006 is the 2nd Symposium organised by the European NiSIS Co-ordination Group taking place from 29 November – 1 December 2006. The symposium will show state-of-the-art presentations as well as new developments in Nature-inspired Systems with Intelligent Technologies. The focus will be on the integration of life and applied sciences/engineering that address issues on smart information systems, preferably with special interest to apply this to other real-world problems. The aim is also to investigate Nature-inspired Systems that coordinate perception, reasoning, and action to pursue multiple goals while functioning autonomously in dynamic environments.
NiSIS is covering Nature-inspired Data Technology (NiDT), Nature-inspired Networks (NiN), Nature-inspired Systems Modelling, Optimisation and Control (NiMOC). We are going to have parallel sessions where experts present their newest developments and applications in different areas.
Special Topics of interest are (include but are not limited to):
Autonomic Systems
? Self-organising
? Self-monitoring
? Self-repairing
? Self-design
? Self-managing
Auditory/Vision models and architectures
Visualisation Concepts
Intelligent Systems
? Swarm Intelligence
? Social Behaviours
? Learning and Adaptive Systems
Intelligent Devices
? Adaptive/Evolable Hardware
? Neuromorphic Hardware
? Evolutionary and self-organising Sensors
Intelligent Design
? Optimisation
Structures
? Modularization/Decomposition/Hierarchies
? Spatial Temporal Structures
? Morphological Structures
? Developmental Structures
? Artificial Immune Systems
Modelling
? Reverse Engineering of Networks
? Collaborative/Deceptive Systems
? Large Scale Robustness and Stability
? Attention/Perception Modelling
? Large scale Identibility/Controlability
Holistic Systems Engineering
? Heteregeneous Databases
? Evolvable Interfaces
? Evolvable hardware
Tutorial Papers
Special Application areas of interest are (include but are not limited to):
? Computing
? Pharmaceutical Industry
? Medical Services
? Chemical/Bio Tech
? Security
? Finance and Trade
During NiSIS 2006 the participants will have the opportunity:
? to discuss and exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face
? to establish business or research relations with those people who are important in the area of the Symposium to find European partners for future collaboration
Who will benefit?
? Practitioners interested in the benefits of applying nature-inspired systems to solve their problems
? Consultants, applied researchers and people in industry who are already running projects with nature-inspired systems and want to exchange their experience in successful projects
? Researchers wanting to identify important research problems for the coming years
? Individuals wanting to keep up to date with recent developments
? Those who have recently entered this rapidly expanding field, requiring a complete perspective of the subject and its applications.
Why attend?
NiSIS2006 provides you with the opportunity to:
? Keep up to date with the state-of-the-art in this rapidly advancing and expanding field
? Meet consultants, researchers and people from industry to discuss possible applications of nature-inspired systems
? Get to know successfully exploited technical as well as management applications of nature-inspired systems in different industrial sectors
? Exchange your experiences in successful projects with other practitioners
? Make out future research problems
? Gain new perspectives on the relevance of nature-inspired systems to commercial and industrial requirements, through the example of commercially-established applications
? Be part of a forum for industry and academia, and ensure improved collaboration on future developments
Call for Papers:
Authors are invited to submit papers including clear concluding remarks. In case of acceptance of the paper for presentation, all papers will be published afterwards.
Also, your proposals for Sessions or Workshops are welcome and in case you are interested please contact the organiser as soon as possible.
We intend to publish
? the papers on the NiSIS web site
? a booklet containing abstracts (max. 1 DIN A4 page) of the papers.
