THEME
The world's oldest AI society, the Society for the Study of Artificial
Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), will hold its Tenth
Biennial International Conference at The University of Sheffield.
The past few years have seen an increasing tendency for
diversification in research into Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive
Science and Artificial Life. A number of approaches are being
pursued, based variously on symbolic reasoning, connectionist systems
and models, behaviour-based systems, and ideas from complex dynamical
systems. Each has its own particular insight and philosophical
position.
This variety of approaches appears in all areas of Artificial
Intelligence. There are both symbolic and connectionist natural
language processing, both classical and behaviour-based vision
research, for instance.
While purists from each approach may claim that all the problems of
cognition can in principle be tackled without recourse to other
methods, in practice (and maybe in theory, also) combinations of
methods from the different approaches (hybrid methods) are more
successful than a pure approach for certain kinds of problems. The
committee feels that there is an unrealised synergy between the
various approaches that an AISB conference may be able to
explore. Thus, the focus of the tenth AISB Conference is on such
hybrid methods.
The AISB conference is a single track conference lasting three days,
with a two day tutorial and workshop programme preceding the main
technical event, and around twenty high calibre papers will be
presented in the technical sessions. Five invited talks by respected
and entertaining world class researchers complete the programme. The
proceedings of the conference will be published in book form at the
conference itself, making it a forum for rapid dissemination of
research results.
The preliminary programme for the conference is attached below. Note
that the organisers reserve the right to alter the programme as
circumstances dictate, though every effort will be made to adhere to
the provisional timings and calendar of events given below.
