Call for Participation
June 15-16, 2009,
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Instinctive computing is a computational simulation of biological and cognitive instincts. Instincts profoundly influence how we see, feel, appear, think, and act. If we want a computer to be genuinely secure, intelligent and to interact naturally with us, we must give computers the ability to recognize, understand, and even to have primitive instincts. In this workshop, we will explore transformational developments in this area, including the building blocks for instinctive computing systems and potential applications such as security, privacy, human-computer interaction, next generation networks, and product design.
This two-day workshop includes topics in four main tracks: Instinctive Architectures, Instinctive Cognition, Intelligent Systems, and Demos and Posters.
The post-proceedings will be published by Springer as a book of the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI).
