Connectionists: CFP: Visualization and Support for Information and Knowledge Management

[Wlodzislaw Duch]

Dear Connectionists,

We are trying to bring knowledge management and information
retrieval experts closer to the computational intelligence
community. At the 20th International Joint Conference on Neural
Networks (IJCNN'07), Renaissance Orlando Resort in Orlando,
Florida, USA, 
http://www.ijcnn2007.org/ 
we plan a special session on "Visualization and Support for
Information and Knowledge Management". Please let your colleagues
know about it. 

A brief description of the scope and motivation for organizing
this session:  
Computational intelligence finds many applications in
visualization of multidimensional information, organization and
retrieval of information and knowledge management. With rapidly
growing access to huge amount of information through the Internet
methods that can select, organize and present relevant information
became extremely important. This session will focus on CI methods
that are being developed for visualization of text and multimedia
documents, methods for organizing and browsing data repositories,
adding structure to unstructured data, development of environments
that use CI techniques for organization and presentation of
information. It will include theoretical developments and
applications of such methods in visualizing large collections of
papers, datasets, mixed content databases, digital libraries,
information flows, social interest groups, semantic web objects,
multimedia, biomedical data, knowledge representation, creating
and using ontologies to structure knowledge. Papers on embedding
methods for visualization of multivariate data, SOM semantic maps,
topic maps and other issues related to this area will also be
solicited. 

Detailed instructions for paper submission are available at 
http://www.ijcnn2007.org/. 
The deadline is January 31, 2007.
