It is about the ability of the system to responsively self-adjust upon change in the surrounding environment. Like in living creatures that have evolved over millions of years developing ecological systems due to their self-adaptation and fitness capacity to the dynamic environment, systems undergo similar cycle to improve or at least do not weaken their performance when internal or external changes take place. Internal or endogenous change bears on the physical structure of the system (the building blocks: hardware and/or software components) due mainly to faults and knowledge inconsistency. It requires a certain number of adaptivity features such as flexible deployment, self-testing, self-healing and self-correction. Extraneous change touches on the environment implication such operational mode or regime, non-stationarity of input, new knowledge facts, interference, etc. The two classes of change also shed light on the research avenues towards smart systems. To meet the challenges of these systems, a sustainable effort is necessary to develop intelligent hardware on one level and concepts and algorithms on the other level. The former level may concern various analog and digital adjustments but also self-healing, self-testing, reconfiguration and many other aspects of system development and maintenance. The latter level is concerned with developing algorithms, concepts and techniques which can rely on metaphors of nature and which are inspired from biological and cognitive plausibility. This two-fold plausibility is the basis for many computational models such as neural networks, evolutionary computation, probabilistic reasoning and many other soft computing and machine learning models. Taking stock of both classes of changes, a system must self-adapt its structure and self-adjust its parameters over time as changes occur. A fundamental issue is the notion of self which refers to the capability of the system to act and react on its own and which covers all stages of the system's working and maintenance cycle starting from online self-monitoring to self-growing and self-organizing. * * * TARGET TOPICS (but not limited to) * * * - Theories and Algorithms o Self growing neural networks o Online adaptive and life-long learning o Plasticity and stability o Forgetting o Unlearning o Online adaptive neuro-fuzzy rule-based systems o Online adaptive fuzzy identification systems o Adaptation in changing environments o Concept drift o Self-monitoring o Online diagnostics o Novelty detection o Time series prediction o Online and single-pass data mining o Online information routing o Online classification systems o Online clustering o Online regression o Online feature selection and reduction o Adaptive decision systems o Adaptive preference learning o Principles of self-organization o Methodologies of self-organization o Perception and evolution o Adaptivity and online learning models in computational intelligence - Applications : Adaptivity and learning in o Smart systems o Ambient / ubiquitous environments o Distributed intelligence o Intelligent agent technology o Robotics o Industrial applications o Internet o E-commerce, etc - Hardware: o Evolvable hardware o Bio-inspired architecture o Self-healing systems o Self-reconfigurable systems o Evolutionary hardware design o Evolutionary circuit sythesis o Evolutionary Robotics o Hardware/Software co-evolution o Adaptive Hardware o Embryonic hardware o Evolutionary circuit diagnostics and testing o MEMS and nanotechnology in evolvable hardware * * * SUBMISSION * * * Papers must be in PDF, not exceeding 6 pages and conforming to IEEE Specifications and submitted through the submission system ( http://www.isys.uni-klu.ac.at/icais09/openconf/openconf.php ).

Autonomous Mental Development Posted by: Zhengyou Zhang ( zhang@microsoft.com ) Date submitted: Dec. 30th, 2008 Content: Call for Papers: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTONOMOUS MENTAL DEVELOPMENT More details are available at http://ieee-cis.org/pubs/tamd/ The IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTONOMOUS MENTAL DEVELOPMENT (TAMD), published four times a year, publishes original papers of archival journal quality in Autonomous Mental Development (AMD). Recent advances in computational intelligence, cognitive science, neuroscience, and robotics have stimulated the birth and rapid growth of this new research field. Mental development is a process during which a brain-like natural or artificial embodied system, under the control of its intrinsic species-specific developmental program, develops mental capabilities through its real-time interactions with its environments (including the brain's own internal environment) using its own sensors and effectors. The mental capabilities include perceptual, cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and all other mental capabilities that are exhibited by humans, higher animals, and artificial systems. The scope of TAMD includes: - Computational modeling of mental development, including mental architecture, theories, algorithms, properties and experiments; - Experimental investigations relevant to the goal of achieving a computational understanding of developmental processes in humans and animals, especially those focusing on the role of experience and on the active exploration of the environment; - Engineering applications of autonomous mental development such as mechanisms enabling highly complex capabilities by robots and other artificial systems. Investigations in AMD are expected to improve our systematic understanding of the working of the wide variety of mental capabilities in humans. Authors are encouraged to submit papers that disclose significant conceptual, computational, or empirical discovery, technical and practical knowledge, exploratory developments, and applications to both artificial and biological mentally developing systems. The Transactions encourage papers submitted from all areas related to mental development, including, but not limited to, computer science, engineering, neuroscience, psychology, biology, medicine, and philosophy. Due to the existence of many empirically oriented journals in the field of human developmental psychology, the Transactions will emphasize computational approaches to mental development and experimental studies that make contact with computational approaches. Timely Publications Every effort is made to ensure minimum delay from submission to publication. Authors have a key role to play in minimizing the delay between initial submission and publication, largely by ensuring that manuscripts are of high quality both in terms of content and presentation. When the final version of a manuscript is accepted, it is immediately published electronically on IEEE Xplore and given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), at which time it enters the queue for publication in the paper version. In line with the IEEE's policy on scholarly publishing, authors are also free to archive the PDF of the published paper on their own web-site or institutional repository. TAMD aims to publish a paper in less than 12 months from the date of its original submission, and to post it online in IEEE Xplore in less than 6 months from the date of its original submission. For manuscripts that are accepted without revision it is entirely feasible that they could be posted online within 3 months of its original submission. Manuscript Types TAMD manuscript types and submission length guidelines are as follows: * Regular paper - up to 15 double column pages / 38 single column pages * Correspondence paper - up to 8 double column pages / 20 single column pages * Survey paper - up to 25 double column pages / 55 single column pages A correspondence paper is manuscript that publishes an original research contribution in a shorter form, as well as a perspective that includes insights into issues of wider scope than a regular paper related to computational mental development but without being highly computational in style. A survey paper is well-focused manuscript that puts recent progress into a broader perspective and accurately assesses the limits of existing theories. Submissions The Journal is now accepting submissions, with the first issue to be published in spring 2009. Submission instructions are available at http://ieee-cis.org/pubs/tamd/ . TAMD follows the format standards of the IEEE.
