"Challenges for cognitive systems"
6 October 2010
NeuroComp is an annual event in France, which brings together the computational neuroscience community and the experimental neuroscience community, favoring the advancement of artificial cognitive systems. The meeting will take place in Lyon this year. It will include a tutorial day where students will be able to learn about development of artificial cogntitive neural systems and comparison with neurophysiology data.
To be held in Lyon, France on 6th -- 8th October 2010.

Neuronal dynamics provides a powerful theoretical language with which embodied and situated cognitive systems can be designed and modeled. This summer school will provides a hands-on and down-to-earth introduction to neuronal dynamics ideas and will enable participants to become productive within this framework.
To be held at the "Institut für Neuroinformatik", Ruhr-Universität, Bochum on 24th September -- 1st October 2010

The workshop on Recognition and Action for Scene Understanding (REACTS2011) is an international event which will be hold in Malaga, September 2011. The aim of this workshop is meant to bring together researchers which address the problem of Scene Understanding from the perspective of the different involved research communities. Scene Understanding has become a popular topic in Computer Science which combines abilities such as perception, analysis and interpretation of both indoor and outdoor scenes. Hence, it involves joining efforts and sharing knowledge from different research areas such as Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Machine Intelligence, Software Engineering and Cognitive Sciences. Scene Understanding underlies many abilities such as visual search, visual exploration and attention guidance, 3D object classification or human behaviour description and recognition. However, many other abilities such as spatio-temporal processing or multi-sensor fusion can also rely on this topic.
To be held in Malaga, Spain on 1st -- 2nd September 2010.

Toward Autonomous, Adaptive, and Context-Aware Multimodal Interfaces: Theoretical and Practical Issues
The school will afford a change of perspective in verbal and nonverbal communication, where the research focus moves from "communicative tools" to "communicative instances" and ask for investigations that take into account the environment and the context in which the communicative acts take place.
To be held in Caserta, Italy on 15th -- 19th March 2010.
The consequences in Information Communication Technology (ICT) research should bring to the development of instantiated interactive dialogue systems and instantiated intelligent avatars able to act by exploiting contextual and environmental signals and process them by combining previous experience (memory) adapted to the problem instance. The school is oriented towards scientists, researchers and students working in the field of computer science, physics, psychology, statistics, electrical engineering, philosophy, neuroscience, communication and cognitive sciences.
Participants are invited to submit short contributions to allow exchanges and discussions with the invited speakers. The school is organized as a series of lectures presented by the invited speakers, with short presentations given by the participants that will focus on recent developments and open problems in the field of multimodal signals in face-to-face interactions and on their integration in algorithms and mathematical models procedures for the recognition of verbal and non verbal communication features which include facial expressions, tones of voice, gestures, eye contact, spatial arrangements, patterns of touch, expressive movement, cultural differences, and other "nonverbal" acts, in anticipation of the implementation other useful application such as intelligent avatars and interactive dialog systems.
