SWARM INTELLIGENCE AND PATTERNS 2006 (SIP´06)
http://alfa.ist.utl.pt/~cvrm/staff/vramos/SIP06.html
3rd Int. Workshop Session at ISDA 2006 - 6th IEEE International Conference
on Intelligent
System Design and Applications, Jinan, Shandong, CHINA, October 16-18, 2006
Session Chairs:
Vitorino Ramos (CVRM-IST, Technical Univ. of Lisbon, Lisbon, PORTUGAL) and
Ajith Abraham (Chung Ang Univ., Seoul, South Korea).
SCOPE AND CALL FOR PAPERS:
Self-organizing intelligent complex systems typically are comprised of a
large number of frequently similar components or events. Through their
process, a pattern at the global-level of a system emerges solely from
numerous interactions among the lower-level components of the system.
Moreover, the rules specifying interactions among the systems components
are executed using only local information, without reference to the global
pattern, which, as in many real-world problems is not easily accessible or
possible to be found. Stigmergy, a kind of indirect communication and
learning by the environment found in social insects is a well know example
of self-organization, providing not only vital clues in order to understand
how the components can interact to produce a complex pattern and engineer
applications, as can pinpoint simple biological non-linear rules and means
to achieve an improved design of artificial intelligent systems.
Swarm Intelligence is precisely a relatively novel discipline devoted to
the study of self-organizing collective processes in Nature and Human
artefacts as well as on their applications. An example of particularly
successful research direction in swarm intelligence is ant colony
optimization (ACO), which focuses on discrete optimization problems, and
has been applied successfully to a large number of hard discrete
optimization problems including the travelling salesman, the quadratic
assignment, scheduling, vehicle routing, etc., as well as to routing in
telecommunication networks. However, apart from the remarkable successful
applications in optimization as well as on their critical features as a
bio-inspired computational paradigm, a small number of works have still
been devoted to Data Classification and Retrieval Systems, Clustering,
Pattern Recognition, Distributed Data-Mining, Web Mining and GRIDS,
Collaborative Filtering, Image Analysis and Signal Processing, Pattern
Formation, Perception, Memory and Generalization.
At the present section we seek to explore the applicability of these
bio-inspired approaches to the development of self-organizing, evolving,
adaptive and autonomous information technologies, which will meet the
requirements of next-generation information systems, such as diversity,
scalability, robustness, and resilience.
SIP 2006 constitutes the 3rd edition of this International Workshop
