Intelligence, IJCAI 2013 http://ijcai13.org/
IMPORTANT DATES

Workshop day: August 5, 2013
SCOPE
The capacity to attend to the relevant has been part of Artificial Intelligence
(AI) systems since the early days of the discipline. Currently, with respect to
the design and computational modeling of artificial cognitive systems,
selective attention has again become a focus of research, and one sees it
important for the organization of behaviors, for control and interfacing
between sensory and cognitive information processing, and for the understanding
of individual and social cognition in humanoid artifacts. While visual
cognition obviously plays a central role in human perception, findings from
neuroscience and cognitive psychology have informed us on the perception-action
nature of cognition. In particular, the embodiment in sensory-motor
intelligence requires a continuous spatio-temporal interplay between
interpretations from various perceptual modalities and the corresponding
control of motor activities. In addition, the process of selecting information
from the incoming sensory stream, in tune with contextual processing on a
current task and global goals, becomes a challenging control issue within the
viewpoint of focused attention. Seemingly attention systems must operate at
many levels and not only at interfaces between a bottom-up driven world
interpretation and top-down driven information selection. One may consider
selective attention as part of the core of artificial cognitive systems. These
insights have already produced paradigmatic changes in several AI-related
disciplines, such as, in the design of behavior based robotics and the
computational modeling of animats. Within the context of the engineering
domain, the development of enabling technologies such as autonomous robotic
systems, miniaturized mobile - even wearable - sensors, and ambient
intelligence systems involves the real-time analysis of enormous quantities of
data. These data have to be processed in an intelligent way to provide "on time
delivery" of the required relevant information. Knowledge has to be applied
about what needs to be attended to, and when, and what to do in a meaningful
sequence, in correspondence with visual feedback.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Techniques, modelling, and concepts
- Computational architectures for attention
- Modelling of visual and auditory attention
- Attention in multimodal information fusion
- Biologically inspired attention
- Attentive control in animats and robotic systems
- Aspects of attention in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy
- Attention and control of machine vision processes
- Etc.
Application related topics of interest
- Attentive multimodal interfaces
- Autonomous intelligent systems
- Video surveillance
- Video and image retrieval
- Usability research
- Etc.

AUTHOR GUIDELINES
Publication of the proceedings will be in LNCS/LNAI Springer format. Submitted
papers should be min. 8 pages, and max. between 10 (short paper) and 14 (long
paper) pages in Springer format.
Appropriate style files can be downloaded from
http://www.springer.com/dal/home/computer/lncs (please consult instruction for
authors of Springer proceedings). The organizers expect submissions in PDF
format. We will perform double-blind reviews, i.e., author information must be
hidden in the paper: blank author fields, no acknowledgment information, own
papers should be cited only if mandatory.
We will link on the homepage to electronic paper submission until mid March
2013. Papers will be considered for review that have also been submitted to the
main IJCAI conference. Double submission must be indicated by authors, and the
workshop organizer must be given a copy of the IJCAI reviews. In case we
receive a reasonable number of high quality contributions we will consider the
organization of a poster session to inform - in addition to the about all
related on-going activities in this field.
PROCEEDINGS
Accepted contributions will be provided on CD-ROM as hand-outs to participants
at the workshop site.
It is intended to publish post-conference proceedings of selected, revised and
invited papers of the workshop in Springer LNAI, see LNCS 3368/WAPCV 2004, LNAI
4840/WAPCV 2007, LNAI 5395/WAPCV 2008.
