Probabilistic models and algorithms are flourishing in both life sciences and information sciences as ways of understanding the behavior of subjects and the neural processing underlying this behavior, and building robots and artificial agents that can function effectively in such circumstances. This winter school is a prolongation of the Bayesian Cognition workshop held in Paris in January 2006 (Bayesian-Cognition.org) Program: The school is made of 7 tutorial modules (4 hours long) covering the following topics made by senior researchers in the field: - Probability theory as an alternative to logic (Pierre Bessière - CNRS, Grenoble) - Satistical learning (Samy Bengio - Google, Mountain View) - Probabilistic models of Central Nervous System (Sophie Denève - Ecole Normal Supérieur, Paris) - Approximate evaluation of Bayesian calculus (Vaclav Smidl - UTIA, Prague) - Probabilistic Robotics (Wolfram Burgard - Universität Freiburg) - Probabilistic interpretation of physiological and psychophysical data (Jacques Droulez - Collège de France, Paris) - Industrial applications (Emmanuel Mazer - ProBAYES, Grenoble) There will be also 9 presentations (50 minutes long) made by young researchers (typically Postdocs) who will present their thesis work in some details. Finally, there will be a 6 hours practical training session where students will have the opportunity to design, write and run short Bayesian programs using the ProBT® toolkit (Juan-Manuel Ahuactzin - ProBAYES, Grenoble) Main clientele: The winter school is mainly conceived for PhD students in cognitive science and robotics interested by the variety of probabilistic models and techniques used in these fields. Master students and postdocs could also find benefits in attending this school.

AIM AND SCOPE Swarm Intelligence (SI) is an Artificial Intelligence technique involving the study of collective behaviour in decentralized systems. Such systems are made up by a population of simple individuals interacting locally with one another and with their environment. Although there is typically no centralized control dictating the behaviour of the individuals, local interactions among the individuals often cause a global pattern to emerge. Examples of systems like this can be found abundant in nature, including ant colonies, bird flocking, animal herding, honey bees, bacteria, and many more. SI refers to the problem-solving behaviour that emerges from the interaction between individuals of such systems, and computational swarm intelligence refers to algorithmic models of such behaviors. These algorithmic models have shown to be able to adapt well in changing environments, and are immensely flexible and robust. As traditional algorithms, which emphasize more on 'centralization', become increasingly inadequate in handling today's more complex problems, SI algorithms offer an attractive alternative to problem solving. The last decade has shown rapid growing research interests in SI, as demonstrated by the significant increase of the number of research publications on SI, especially on two popular SI paradigms, namely Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). II. TOPICS COVERED Authors are invited to submit their original and unpublished work in the areas including (but not limited to) the following: Theoretical studies of SI paradigms and algorithms Development of new SI paradigms and algorithms SI algorithms for multi-objective optimization SI algorithms for constrained optimization SI algorithms for niching and multi-modal optimization SI algorithms for optimization in dynamic and noisy environments SI algorithms for evolving artificial neural networks SI algorithms for games and learning Hybrids between SI algorithms and other heuristic methods Comparative theoretical and empirical studies Benchmarking and evaluation of new SI algorithms Self-adaptive SI algorithms SI algorithms for real-world applications Nature-inspired algorithms based on collective behaviors Swarm robotics and other SI-inspired systems III.

The reasons appear to be two-fold. First, complexity of the problem usually increases with the size of problem, and a previously successful search strategy may no longer be capable of finding the optimal solution. Second, the solution space of the problem increases exponentially with the problem size, and a more efficient search strategy is required to explore all the promising regions in a given time budget. [...] This special session is devoted to the novel approaches, algorithms and techniques for tackling large scale global optimization problems, involving single objective or multiple objectives, binary or discrete or real or mixed variables. Papers on novel test suites that help us in understanding problem characteristics are also welcome. We encourage all authors to submit their test functions, algorithms and results to the Birmingham Benchmark site Evolutionary Computation Benchmark Repository (EvoCoBR): http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/ecb/ . Further, a set of scalable function optimization problems are available at: http://nical.ustc.edu.cn/cec08ss.php . Authors working on numerical optimizations are encouraged to test their algorithms on the test suite. We will archive the comparative results as we did during the CEC 2005, 2006 & 2007 at http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/epnsugan . All papers accepted by the special session will be included in the CEC'08 conference proceedings and selected authors will be invited to present their results during WCCI-08.

In particular, it focuses on how theory can inform practice and what practice reveals about theory. Past workshops have invited speakers to discuss theoretical work and its value to practitioners of the art, and to review problems and observations from practice that challenge existing theory. This year we are asking researchers who are interested in being invited to present a paper at this Workshop to submit an abstract representing the work they would like to present. We will extend a limited number of invitations to participate based on these abstracts. We especially encourage papers which combine theory with results from real-world applications, e.g., papers in which theory is used to guide application to real-world problems, and/or results from real-world applications that confirm (or contradict) theory. In this vein, collaborations between "theorists" and "practitioners" are most welcome, since such collaborations are quite rare but they are likely to lead to new insights and novel results. Some of the questions this workshop is expected to address include: * Does the schema (or other analogous) theorem hold for GP, and what does this mean for the design and use of GP applications? * What are good ways to approach the application of GP to a new problem? What are good ways to adjust control parameters within GP? Are there heuristics to guide the choice of representation, search operators, and so on? * What are the "symptoms" of GP pathology (i.e., premature convergence, overfitting, etc.)? * How universal is the behavior of GP over different problems and data types? * What are the good and bad features of GP for problem application? * Are there ways to predict whether a problem is "GP tractable?" * Application of GP to "real" problems, e.g., applications with large amounts of noisy data, or applications in which GP must compete with other more accepted approaches. If you are interested in having a paper considered for presentation at the workshop and included in the book, please send a one-page abstract as well as a short CV of the authors to: [log in to unmask] by: 11 January 2008. *** Earlier responses are encouraged *** The abstracts will be reviewed and decisions made by 18 January 2008. We will select 6-8 proposed papers based on relevance to the GPTP workshop goals, the expected quality of the contribution, and how the paper topic will fit with the "mix" of other invited and selected papers. If you do anticipate sending an abstract, please let us know as soon possible, just so we have a rough idea of how many abstract to expect. ~~ Rick Riolo [log in to unmask] [message edited for length] -------------------------------- Sender: Ian Parmee <[log in to unmask]> Subject: FW: Extended submission deadline ACDM '08 Due to numerous requests the submission deadline for full papers for ACDM08 has now been extended to Friday 14th December '07.
