Dear List, Please find below a Call for Papers _________________________________________________________ ISACS 2013 6th International Symposium on Attention in Cognitive Systems In conjunction with the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2013) Beijing, China August 3-5, 2013 _________________________________________________________ Dates _________________________________________________________ Full Paper Submission: April 20, 2013 Acceptance Notification: May 20, 2013 Final Paper Submission: May 30, 2013 Workshop Day: August 3-5, 2013, TBD The Symposium _________________________________________________________ The capacity to attend to the relevant has been part of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
systems since the early days of the discipline. Currently, with respect to the design and
computational modelling of artificial cognitive systems, selective attention has again
become a focus of research, and one sees it important for the organization of
behaviours, for control and interfacing between sensory and cognitive information
processing, and for the understanding of individual and social cognition in humanoid
artefacts. One may consider selective attention as part of the core of artificial cognitive
systems. Within the context of the engineering domain, the development of enabling
technologies such as autonomous robotic systems, miniaturized mobile - even wearable
- sensors, and ambient intelligence systems involves the real-time analysis of enormous
quantities of data. These data have to be processed in an intelligent way to provide "on
time delivery" of the required relevant information. Knowledge has to be applied about
what needs to be attended to, and when, and what to do in a meaningful sequence, in
correspondence with visual feedback. Suggested symposium topics include, but are not limited to: • Computational architectures for attention • Modelling of visual and auditory attention • Biologically inspired attention • Attention in robotic / mobile / wearable systems • Aspects of attention in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy • Attention and control of machine vision processes • Performance measures for attention enabled artificial systems • Applications of machine attention Objectives _________________________________________________________ The goal of this symposium is to provide an international forum to examine
computational methods of attention in cognitive systems from an interdisciplinary
viewpoint, with the focus on computer vision in relation to robotics, psychology, and
neuroscience. Organisers _________________________________________________________ Lucas Paletta Joanneum Research, Graz, Austria
