SAC ’06 – Track Proposal – Artificial Intelligence, Computational Logic, and Image Analysis 1. Track Name & Chair “Special Track on Artificial Intelligence, Computational Logic, and Image Analysis” Track Chair: Chih-Cheng Hung CoChair: Agostinho C da Rosa 2. Mission Statement (scope, aims, and topics) Over the past twenty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world to interact and present their work. A special track on Artificial Intelligence, Computational Logic, and Image Analysis is proposed for SAC '06. It will be a forum for engineers, researchers and practitioners throughout the world to share technical ideas and experiences relating to implementation and application of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The crowning achievement of AI was evidenced in May 1997, when the program IBM’s Deep Blue Supercomputer defeated Mr. Garry Kasparov, the world chess champion. Deep Blue, like the majority of efforts in AI, simulates symptoms of intelligent behavior as observed in humans. The benefit of this approach is that it can generate highly optimized behavior, even to the extent that it surpasses human performance. Genesereth and Nilsson suggested that the ultimate goal of AI is a theory that both explains the behavior of naturally occurring intelligent entities and indicates the manner in which artificial entities can be designed to yield intelligent behavior. Correspondingly, with this goal in our mind, this special AI track aims at putting together contributions from the scientists and researchers in different disciplines, providing them with a common forum where to discuss their different viewpoints and share new ideas. Furthermore, we have witnessed the emergence of new models such as Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), Swarm Intelligence (SI) and Artificial Life (AL) in the area of AI. These new paradigms have become promising models in computer science. Using ants and other social insects as models, computer scientists have created software agents that cooperate to solve complex problems such as the rerouting of traffic in a busy telecommunication network. In addition, as images become an important media in our daily life, for example video images, AI techniques have been used in processing video images. We would like to have researchers working in those areas to interact with other researchers in this special track. Major topics of interest in this special track will include, but not limited to, the following areas: Machine Learning Artificial Immune Systems Image Analysis Image Segmentation, Clustering and Classification Search Techniques Knowledge-based Systems Knowledge Representation 1 Computational Logic Constraint Solving and Programming Intelligent Embedded Systems Applications of Artificial Intelligence Artificial Life Selective Self-Organization 3. Dissemination plan for the Track Call for Papers (CFP) The call for paper will be distributed through the personal mailing list of the Track Chair & CoChair, handouts at some conferences, and posted in both Track Chair & Co-Chair’s Web pages. Hard copies of the Call for Paper will be distributed and posted in campuses. The track chair plans to make a presentation to the Monte Jade Technology Association whose members are from industry and academia in the annual meeting of the association. 4. Who is and the role of the Track Co-Chair Professors Agostinho Rosa will be the Co-Chairs for this special track and will assist the Track Chair to solicit papers from researchers in Europe and arrange reviewers to evaluate the papers. Agostinho has been the Co-Chair for this track in the years of 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. 5.
