IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence 2011

This international event promotes all aspects of the theory and applications of Computational Intelligence. With its hosting of over thirty technical meetings in one location, it is bound to attract lead researchers, professionals and students from around the world. Sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, the 2011 edition follows in the footsteps of the SSCI 2007 meetings held in Honolulu and of the SSCI 2009 series held in Nashville.

The event will take place in the magic town of Paris.

2nd Call for Papers
ALA 2011: Adaptive and Learning Agents Workshop held at AAMAS
2011 (Taipei). The ALA workshop has a long and successful history
and is now in its 11th edition. The workshop is a merger of European
ALAMAS and the American ALAg series which is usually held at
AAMAS. Details may be found on the workshop web site:
http://como.vub.ac.be/ALA2011/

* Submission Deadline:            February 2, 2011
* Notification of acceptance:     February 27, 2011

* Workshop:                              May 2, 2011
*******************************************************
Adaptive and Learning Agents, particularly those in a multi-agent setting
are becoming more and more prominent as the sheer size and complexity of
many real world systems grows. How to adaptively control, coordinate and
optimize such systems is an emerging multi-disciplinary research area at
the intersection of Computer Science, Control theory, Economics, and
Biology. The ALA workshop will focus on agent and multi-agent systems
which employ learning or adaptation.
The goal of this workshop is to increase awareness and interest in
adaptive agent research, encourage collaboration and give a
representative overview of current research in the area of adaptive and
learning agents and multi-agent systems. It aims at bringing together not
only scientists from different areas of computer science but also from
different fields studying similar concepts (e.g., game theory,
bio-inspired control, mechanism design).
This workshop will focus on all aspects of adaptive and learning agents
and multi-agent systems with a particular emphasis on how to modify
established learning techniques and/or create new learning paradigms to
address the many challenges presented by complex real-world problems.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
    * Novel combinations of reinforcement and supervised learning
      approaches
    * Integrated learning approaches that work with other agent
      reasoning modules like negotiation, trust models, coordination,
      etc.
    * Supervised multi-agent learning
    * Reinforcement learning (single and multi-agent)
    * Planning (single and multi-agent)
    * Reasoning (single and multi-agent)
    * Distributed learning
    * Adaptation and learning in dynamic environments
    * Evolution of agents in complex environments
    * Co-evolution of agents in a multi-agent setting
    * Cooperative exploration and learning to cooperate and collaborate
    * Learning trust and reputation
    * Communication restrictions and their impact on multi-agent
      coordination
    * Design of reward structure and fitness measures for coordination
    * Scaling learning techniques to large systems of learning and
      adaptive agents
    * Emergent behaviour in adaptive multi-agent systems
    * Game theoretical analysis of adaptive multi-agent systems
    * Neuro-control in multi-agent systems
    * Bio-inspired multi-agent systems
    * Applications of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent
      systems to real world complex systems
    * Learning of Co-ordination

Submission Details
Paper submissions may be emailed in the pdf format to
pvrancx@vub.ac.be  with the subject 'Submission ALA-11'. Submissions may
be up to 8 pages in the ACM proceedings format (i.e., the same as AAMAS
