AI 60 Years¡¯ Celebration - CFP: Brain Informatics & Health 2016 [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ================================ A Celebration to the 60th Anniversary of AI ================================ The 2016 International Conference on Brain Informatics & Health (BIH'16) October 13-16, 2016, Hilton Omaha, USA Homepage: http://wibih.unomaha.edu/bih ***Full Paper Submission Deadline*** - May 10, 2016 This year, the Brain Informatics & Health (BIH) conference is especially dedicated to the celebration of the 60th anniversary of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the past years, the attempt by brain scientists to understand how the human brain works has never stopped. Meanwhile, the AI researchers also have been striving to formalize the structure and function of human brain, aiming at creating computers and computer software with capacity of intelligent behavior. By integrating techniques and academic researchers, abundant brain-inspired achievements have been yielded. Recently, the so-called neuromorphic computer architectures-chips, that mimic the human brain's ability to be both analytical and intuitive to deliver context and meaning to big data, have been invented and showed us the promising future of AI. There is never been a more exciting moment than now, in neuroscience, cognitive science, computer science, and AI. Brain Informatics (BI) has extended and made use of artificial intelligence for new products, services and frameworks that are empowered by the World Wide Web. By means of brain data collected globally and systematic researches on the human brain across macro, meso, and micro scales, i.e., mind and behavior, brain cognition and structure, neuronal morphology and gene, BI is committed to developing a big data sharing mind on the Wisdom Web of Things (W2T), and disclosing the intrinsic qualities of human intelligence. As a part of the celebration to the sixty years of AI, BIH'16 will be co-located with Web Intelligence (WI) 2016, and proudly host two distinguished brain scientists, Dr. Stephen Smith and Dr. Ivan Soltesz as the BIH keynote speakers, as well as two Turing Award laureates, Dr. Leslie Valiant (Turing Award 2010) and Dr. Butler Lampson (Turing Award 1992) as the WI keynote speakers, for the community to share with their intelligent, wisdom minds.  We also will organize a panel on Connecting Network and Brain with Big Data and invite keynote/feature speakers of the 2 conferences as panelists. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS FULL PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: May 10, 2016 (!!Extended!!) *** KEYNOTE SPEAKERS *** Stephen Smith, Allen Institute for Brain Science Ivan Soltesz, Stanford School of Medicine *** FEATURE SPEAKERS *** Steven Schiff, Pennsylvania State University Kristen Harris, University of Texas at Austin Giulio Tononi, University of Wisconsin-Madison Bob Jacobs, Colorado College Partha Mitra, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Paola Pergami, George Washington University **************** The BIH series provides a premier forum that brings together researchers and practitioners from neuroscience, cognitive science, computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, information communication technologies, and neuroimaging technologies with the purpose of exploring the fundamental roles, interactions as well as practical impacts of Brain Informatics. BIH'16 addresses the computational, cognitive, physiological, biological, physical, ecological and social perspectives of brain informatics, with a strong emphasis on emerging trends of big data analysis and management technology for brain research, behaviour learning, and real-world applications of brain science in human health and well-being. BIH'16 will be co-located with the 2016 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference Web Intelligence (WI'16) (http://wibih.unomaha.edu/wi). Under our theme Connecting Network and Brain with Big Data, BIH'16 and WI'16 will provide a broad forum that academia, professionals and industry can use to exchange their ideas, findings and strategies in utilizing the power of human brains and man-made networks to create a better world. The attendees only need to register for one of the 2 conferences, but they can attend all sessions and social events of the 2 conferences. BIH'16 welcomes paper submissions (full paper and abstract submissions). Both research and application papers are solicited. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance and clarity. Accepted full papers will be included in the proceedings by Springer LNCS/LNAI. Tutorial, Workshop and Special-Session proposals and Industry/Demo-Track papers are also welcome. The organizers of Workshops and Special-Sessions are invited to prepare a book proposal based on the topics of the workshop/special session for possible book publication in the Springer Brain Informatics & Health book series. IMPORTANT DATES: (Extended!) ================ Workshop and Special-Session proposals submission: March 31, 2016 Notification of Workshop and Special-Session acceptance: April 15, 2016 Submission of full papers: May 10, 2016 Submission of Workshop/Special-Session full papers: June 7, 2016 Notification of full paper acceptance: June 14, 2016 Notification of Workshop/Special-Session full paper acceptance: June 20, 2016 Submission of abstracts: June 20, 2016 Notification of abstract acceptance: July 10, 2016 Tutorial proposal submission: July 10, 2016 Tutorials, Workshop and Special-Sessions: October 13, 2016 Main conference: October 14-16, 2016 PAPER SUBMISSIONS & PUBLICATIONS: ================================= TYPE-I (Full Paper Submissions; Submission Deadline: May 10, 2016): Papers need to have up to 10 pages in LNCS format: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0. All full length papers accepted (and all special sessions' full length papers) will be published by Springer as a volume of the series of LNCS/LNAI. TYPE-II (Abstract Submissions; Submission Deadline: June 20, 2016): Abstracts have a word limit of 500 words. Experimental research is particularly welcome. Accepted abstract submissions will be included in the conference program, and will be published as a single, collective proceedings volume. Title: Include in the title of the abstract all words critical for a subject index. Write your title in sentence case (first letter is capitalized; remaining letters are lower case). Do not bold or italicize your full title. Author: List all authors who contributed to the work discussed in the abstract. The presenting author must be listed in the first author slot of the list. Be prepared to submit contact information as well as conflict of interest information for each author listed. Abstract: Enter the body of the abstract and attach any applicable graphic files or tables here. Do not re-enter the title, author, support, or other information that is collected in other steps of the submission form. Presentation Preference: Authors may select from three presentation formats when submitting an abstract: "poster only", "talk preferred" or "no preference". The "talk preferred" selection indicates that you would like to give a talk, but will accept a poster format if necessary. Marking "poster only" indicates that you would not like to be considered for an oral-presentation session. Selecting "no preference" indicates the author's willingness to be placed in the best format for the program. Each paper or abstract requires one sponsoring attendee (i.e. someone who registered and is attending the conference). A single attendee can not sponsor more than two abstracts or papers. Oral presentations will be selected from both full length papers and abstracts. *** Post-Conference Journal Publication *** The BIH conferences have the formal ties with Brain Informatics journal (Springer, http://www.springer.com/40708). Accepted papers from the conference, including their Best Paper Award papers, will be expanded and revised for possible inclusion in the Brain Informatics journal each year. It is fully sponsored and no any article-processing fee is charged for BIH authors. *** Topics and Areas *** Track 1: Investigations of Human Information Processing Systems (HIPS) and Computational Foundations of Brain Science Track 2: Information Technologies for Curating, Mining and Using Brain Big Data Track 3: Brain-Inspired Technologies, Systems and Applications Please find the topics and areas of interest of BIH'16 at http://wibih.unomaha.edu/bih ORGANIZERS ========== General Chairs Hesham Ali (University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA) Deepak Khazanchi (University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA) Yong Shi (University of Nebraska at Omaha/Chinese Academy of Sciences) BIH'16 PC Chairs Giorgio Ascoli (George Mason University, USA) Michael Hawrylycz (Allen Institute for Brain Science, USA) BIH'16 Workshop/Special-session/Tutorial Chairs Bingni Wen Brunton (University of Washington, USA) Arvind Ramanathan (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA) Yi Zeng (Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China) BIH'16 Publicity Chairs Kate Cooper (University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA) Weidong Cai (University of Sydney, Australia) Henning Muller (HES-SO, Switzerland) Local Organizing Committee Prithviraj (Raj) Dasgupta Zhengxin Chen Peter Wolcott Haifeng Guo Mark Pauley Wikil Kwak Kerry Ward Dhundy (Kiran) Bastola Kate Cooper (publicity) Bettina Lechner (webmaster) BIH Steering Committee Co-chairs Ning Zhong (Maebashi Institute of Technology, Japan) Hanchuan Peng (Allen Institute for Brain Science, USA) *** Contact Information *** kdempsey@unomaha.edu MikeH@alleninstitute.org ascoli@gmu.edu ________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, go to https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/wic_confs/unsubscribe.php?cfm=39Rzxc1PwAW.Yem&pi=3956    Êղؠ  ·ÖÏí   ¶¥(0)
