Connectionists: Post-Grad Theses & Dissertations Competition (within BRICS-CCI & CBIC 2013)

[Prof. Fernando Buarque]

Dear Colleagues (sorry for cross-post),

        Some of you may not know but during BRICS-CCI & CBIC 2013
next September in Brazil, we will hold a *Theses & Dissertations
Competition *
on all AI / CI Topics. That is why I am writing now, to ask for you to
encourage
your best students (who have completed their PG work between *1st June of
2010 *
*until 20th May of 2013)* to take part in this very exciting competition.

         All details are at:
http://brics-cci.org/theses-and-dissertations-competition/
The pre-selection phase of the competition needs almost no work. Finalists
will
have to travel for "vivas" that will be held during the Congress at the
not-so-ugly
beach Village of 'Porto de Galinhas' (top beach of Brazil for 10 years),
more at
http://brics-cci.org/location-2/. It would be really nice if the
supervisors of the
contestants could be present as well. Notice that it is our plan to promote
lively
discussion on all topics presented-defended during competition (and
congress) in
one of the four panels of specialists (including in an unusual one: "the
trial of AI"
http://brics-cci.org/the-trial-of-a-i-team/).

         Next week we will be informing you about *another
competition*that will be
held during our Congress: *AI/CI Algorithms Competition*.

        -Please, spread the word and "let the games begin"!
        (Attached you have the 2nd CFP)

        All the best, Fernando Buarque - General Join-Chair of BRICS-CCI &
CBIC2013
(on the behalf of Profs. Ildar Batyrshin and Emilio Hernandez - Competition
Chairs)
