*FINAL REMINDER 1st International Electronic Conference on Entropy and Its Applications Web site: http://www.sciforum.net/conference/ecea-1/ Time Schedule & Deadlines: Abstract Submission: 30 Sep. 2014 Acceptance Notification: 26 Sep. 2014 Full Paper Submission: 10 Oct. 2014 Conference period (will be held in electronic medium): 3 - 21 November 2014 ONLINE PARTICIPATION - NO TRAVEL NEEDED ! The 1st International Electronic Conference on Entropy and its Applications will be held from 3–21 November 2014 in the internet environment. The objective of this event is to bring scientists and engineers working in the field onto a common platform where they can present and discuss their recent contributions without the need to travel. The contributions from all application fields are welcome. This specific announcement is intended mostly for Section E: Machine Learning and Applications (Please see the list below) due to the email recipients' mailing lists. However, papers from other fields are always welcome. As this meeting will not require physical presence in any particular location, we are expecting a large attendance from all over the world. Contributions from both theoretical and applied perspectives of entropy will be covered. Submissions focusing on conceptual and methodological developments, as well as new applications of entropy and information theory will be covered. Some of the main topics of interest, also shared with those of the Entropy Journal, are listed below: Physics and Engineering: Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, Reversibility, Quantum Mechanics, Black Hole Physics, Maximum Entropy Methods, Maximum Entropy Production, Evolution of the Universe (Section A) Information Theory: Shannon Entropy, Kullback-Leibler Divergence, Channel Capacity, Renyi and other Entropies, and Applications (Section B) Complex Systems: Self-Organization, Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamics, Simplicity and Complexity, Networks, Symmetry Breaking, Similarity (Section C) Chemistry and Biology: Chemical Networks, Energy, Enthalpy, Maximum Entropy Methods, Biological Networks, Evolution, DNA and RNA, Diversity (Section D) Machine Learning and Systems Theory: (Section E) Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, Cybernetics Robotics, Man–Machine Interfaces, Causality Posters: In this section posters can be presented stand-alone, i.e. without a proceedings papers that goes with it. Posters will be available online on this website during and after the e-conference. However, posters will not be added to the proceedings of the conference. (Section P) Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the conference, and selected papers will be considered for publication in Entropy, which is an open access publication journal of MDPI in the field of Entropy (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/entropy). The 1st International Electronic Conference on Entropy and Its Applications will be held at www.sciforum.net/conference/ecea-1, on a platform developed by MDPI to organize electronic conferences. I would like to welcome you to this event with the hope of starting a successful conference series in the future, Best regards, Deniz Gencaga, Ph.D. Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA USA _______________________________________________ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
