****************************************************************** Final Call For Papers
The 2012 International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI'12)
December 4-7, 2012, Macau SAR, China http://www.fst.umac.mo/wic2012/BI/
A Special Event of the Alan Turing Year (Centenary of Alan Turing's birth) as part of World Intelligence Congress 2012
Turing Keynote Speaker: Edward Feigenbaum (1994 Turing Award Winner)
Important Dates: Electronic submission of full papers: June 1, 2012 Notification of paper acceptance: August 1, 2012 Camera-ready of accepted papers: August 31, 2012 Workshops: December 4, 2012 Conference: December 5-7, 2012 ******************************************************************
BI 2012 provides a leading international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners that explore the interplay between the studies of human brain and the research of informatics. On the one hand, research of informatics opens a new avenue for modeling and characterizing the human brain based on the notions of information processing systems. On the other hand, informatics-enabled brain studies, e.g., based on fMRI, EEG, and MEG, significantly broaden the spectrum of theories and models of brain sciences and offer new insights into the development of systems with human-level intelligence.
Web Intelligence centric information technologies are applied to support brain science studies. For instance, the wisdom Web and knowledge grids enable high-speed, large-scale analysis, simulation, and computation as well as new ways of sharing research data and scientific discoveries.
Topics ------------------------------------ High-quality papers in all BI related areas are solicited. The topics and areas include, but not limited to: - Human reasoning mechanisms - Human learning mechanisms - Human higher cognitive functions - Systematic design of cognitive experiments - HIPS meets complex systems - Databasing the brain and constructing data brain models - Formal conceptual models of human brain data - Multi-media brain data mining - Multi-aspect analysis in fMRI/EEG/MEG/PET
Papers exploring new directions will receive a careful and supportive review. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity.
On-line Submissions and Publication ------------------------------------ The proceeding of the conference will be published by Springer as a volume of the series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science/Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNCS/LNAI).
Authors are strongly encouraged to use Springer LNCS/LNAI manuscript submission guidelines (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) or their initial submissions (a maximum of 12 pages in Springer LNCS/LNAI style file). All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format only, using the conference management tool.
A selected number of the best papers from BI'12 will be expanded and revised for possible inclusion in "Knowledge and Information Systems: An International Journal" (http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~kais/) by Springer and "Cognitive Systems Research: An International Journal" (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/13890417) by Elsevier.
Awards ------ BI 2012 best paper awards and student paper awards will be conferred on the authors at the conference.
Notes ----- The BI 2012 will co-locate with WI'12, IAT'12, AMT'12, and ISMIS'12 as a Congress, a Special Event of the Alan Turing Year (Centenary of Alan Turing's birth). The Congress will have a joint opening, keynotes, reception and banquet.
