Second International Workshop on Hybrid Methods
for Adaptive Systems (HMAS'2002)
Call for Papers Part of the EUNITE’2002 Symposium
September 19-21, 2002, Albufeira, Portugal
(Algarve)
The EUNITE research committee for Integration of Intelligent Methods and Hybrid Systems is working on the integration of fuzzy systems, neural networks, evolutionary computation, machine learning and related technologies. The goal of the committee is to provide a common platform to discuss and exchange research results and to define a common terminology. We are especially interested in combinations of the above-mentioned methods and their application to adaptation in hybrid systems. We view adaptation not as a single learning cycle that creates a model from
data but as a continuous process that enables a system to fit into its
environment and perform suitably, even if the environment changes. Adaptation
can be necessary to regain or maintain consistency, to meet changing user
requirements or for optimisation. Features that can be adapted in an information
system are: parameters, structure, trajectory, task, plan, goals and
organisation.
The Second International Workshop on Hybrid Methods for Adaptive Systems
will take place during the EUNITE’2002 Symposium at Albufeira from September 19
to 21, 2002. The purpose of this workshop is to stimulate cross-community
discussion and to collect state-of-the-art contributions. The authors of
selected accepted workshop contributions will be invited to submit an extended
paper to the special issue of the Elsevier Science’s International Journal of
Approximate Reasoning.
We encourage researchers and practitioners from all fields to submit papers
from the area described above that consider one or more of the following
themes:
* advanced hybrid approaches * synergies with closely related areas like qualitative reasoning, case-based reasoning and computational logic * methodologies for optimal problem-dependent selection of intelligent techniques * adaptation and portability of intelligent systems * knowledge discovery * applications of hybrid systems * software tools * case studies * benchmarks Submissions Papers should have not more than 4 pages and should be submitted electronically only to the chairman of the program committee at [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Accepted formats are PDF and Postscript. Please compress all documents using a standard format like ZIP. Accepted papers will be published in the EUNITE’2002 proceedings. Important Dates 31 May 2002: Electronic submission of abstracts/papers 01 July 2002: Notification of acceptance 15 July 2002: Deadline for early registration for EUNITE’2002 31 July 2002: Deadline for submission of the final paper for the proceedings 19-21 September 2002: Workshop during EUNITE’2002 Symposium International Program Committee Christian Borgelt, Univ. of Magdeburg, Germany Piero Bonissone, General Electric Company, USA George Coghill, Univ. of Aberystwyth, UK Jos� Dorronsoro, Universidad Aut�noma de Madrid, Spain Didier Dubois, IRIT, France Bogdan Gabrys, Univ. of Paisley, Scotland, UK (chairman) Maria C.Garcia-Alegre, Spanish Council for Scientific Research, Spain Rudolf Kruse, Univ. of Magdeburg, Germany Detlef Nauck, BTEXACT, UK Andreas Nuernberger, Univ. of Berkeley, USA Henry Prade, IRIT, France Antonio Dourado, Univ. of Coimbra, Portugal Ant�nio Ruano, Univ. of Algarve, Portugal Address For all enquiries regarding the workshop please contact Bogdan Gabrys
