INTRODUCTION

============

 

ICCCI 2011 is an international scientific conference for research in the
field of Computational Collective Intelligence (CCI), to be held on 21-23
September, 2011 in Gdynia city, Poland. 

 

Computational Collective Intelligence is most often understood as an AI
sub-field dealing with soft computing methods which enable making group
decisions or processing knowledge among autonomous units acting in
distributed environments. Web-based systems, social networks and multi-agent
systems very often need these tools for working out consistent knowledge
states, resolving conflicts and making decisions. 

 

The aim of this conference is to provide an internationally respected forum
for scientific research in the computer-based methods of collective
intelligence and their applications in (but not limited to) such fields as
semantic web, social networks and multi-agent systems.

 

ICCCI 2011 is organized by Gdynia Maritime University and Wroclaw University
of Technology in Poland. Gdynia Maritime University in which it will take
place is located in the port city Gdynia known for its picturesque seashore
with marinas, promenades and yacht clubs. However there is more to enjoy
nearby, as Gdynia is a part of the Tricity, which also includes a
thousand-year-old Gdańsk, Poland's cultural gem, and Sopot, a health-resort
with its beautiful Landscape Park and splendid sandy beaches. The many
attractions of the area are easily reached via Gdansk Lech Walesa
International Airport, and all three cities are linked by frequent and
comfortable commuter lines. Gdynia Maritime University is a specialized
technical university and the largest Polish and European Centre for higher
maritime education. The University is actively involved in numerous national
and European research projects.

 

 

SCOPE OF ICCCI 2011

===================

 

Methodological, theoretical and practical aspects of computational
collective intelligence such as group decision making, collective action
coordination, knowledge integration, understood as the form of intelligence
that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals
(artificial and/or natural).The application of multiple computational
intelligence technologies such as fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation,
neural systems, consensus theory, etc., to support human and other
collective intelligence and creation of new forms of CCI in natural and/or
artificial systems. Three subfields of application of computational
intelligence technologies to support various forms of collective
intelligence are of special attention but are not the only ones: semantic
web (as an advanced tool increasing collective intelligence), social network
analysis (as the field targeted to the emergence of new forms of CCI), and
multiagent systems (as a computational and modeling paradigm especially
tailored to capture the nature of CCI emergence in populations of autonomous
individuals).

special session

 

 

PROCEEDINGS

===========

 

The conference proceedings will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer
Science/Artificial Intelligence series by Springer-Verlag and indexed by EI,
ISI(CPCI-S), Scopus, DBLP, ACM Digital Library. Referees will be asked to
nominate papers for a Best Paper award to be announced at the conference.
All personally presented papers, but particularly those nominated for the
Best Paper competition will be automatically considered for publication in
the extended versions in several special issues for ISI, SCI journals.
