                             Special session on

            Autonomous Learning Systems for Optimization and Control

               http://www.ece.stevens-tech.edu/~hhe/IJCNN2008.html

              2008 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks 
(IJCNN 2008)
                 2008 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (WCCI 2008)
                              http://www.wcci2008.org/

                              June 1-6, 2008
                                Hong Kong

Call For Papers:

Autonomous learning systems can learn optimized decision policies by 
active interaction with the external environment to achieve the 
goals. Therefore, such systems are critical for understanding and 
developing of highly robust, adaptive, and fault tolerant intelligent 
systems. Due to the complexity of many real-world application 
problems, such as nonlinear control, decision support systems, 
pattern recognition, and many others, it is a challenging task for 
modeling, optimization and control of highly nonlinear, large scale 
or networked engineering systems with information uncertainty. 
Autonomous learning systems provide a powerful mechanism to 
potentially solve such kind of problems.

This special session will provide the world-wide experts and research 
community a platform for presenting, discussing, and identifying 
latest research results and important future directions in this 
domain. Paper submissions on new advances in theoretical aspects as 
well as applications of autonomous learning systems are invited. In 
addition, we also welcome well-written survey papers which discuss 
the current state-of-the-art development in this domain, or outline 
future research directions.

Papers are invited for submission on unpublished work in the 
following (but not limited to) areas:

Reinforcement Learning
Approximate Dynamic Programming
Autonomous Learning in Robotics
Unsupervised Learning
Learning Control Methods and Applications
Neural Networks for Learning and Control
Incremental Learning
Swarm Intelligence and Optimization
Applications in Planning and Scheduling
Applications in Decision Support Systems

Please make sure that you select:

Conference = IJCNN 2008
Session = Special, then select Autonomous Learning Systems for 
Optimization and Control

The IJCNN is the premier international conference in the field of 
neural networks, as well as the flagship conferences for the 
International Neural Network Society and the IEEE Computational 
Intelligence Society (WCCI). All special session papers will be 
treated in the same way as regular papers and go through the 
peer-review process. The conference proceedings of IJCNN have been 
continuously included in the EI Compendex Database and IEEE Xplore.
