Dear All I hope all of you is ok. I'd like to send you this invitation to a hot topics. Welcome for participation. Special Session on Computational Collective Intelligence and Its Applications HIS2011 Under the framework of the IEEE International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems December 5 – 8, 2011, Malacca, MALAYSIA Conference web page: http://www.mirlabs.org/his11/index.html Session Chairs Ashraf Darwish1 and Ajith Abraham2 1 Computer Science, Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt 2 Machine Intelligence Research Labs (MIR Labs) 1,2 Editors-in-Chief, International Journal of Sensor Networks and Data Communications Aim and ScopeThe world is moving ahead fast technologically, however, we need to retain the human element and human control over computer and artificial intelligence systems. A collective intelligence consists of a large number of quasi-independent, stochastic agents, interacting locally both among them as well as with an active environment, in the absence of hierarchical organization, and yet which is capable of adaptive behavior. Collective Intelligence is dealt with an important issue: how new communications technologies are changing the way people work together. Collective intelligence is a perspective that can be applied to many different kinds of phenomena. The aim of this special session is to provide an internationally respected forum for scientific research in the computer-based methods of collective intelligence, semantic web, and social network domains. The topics of particular interest to the session include but are not limited to: Collective Intelligence Computational Intelligence · Agent Theory and its Applications Data Mining for Social Networks Distributed Intelligence Theory, Applications, New Trends, Challenges of Social Networks Intelligent Hybrid Systems and Applications Web-based Systems Collective Robotics and Human/Robot Interaction · Biometrics and Bioinformatics· Computer Graphics and Vision· Cybernetics for Informatics · Distributed Intelligent Systems· Evolutionary Computing· Hybrid Intelligent Systems· Fuzzy Systems· Information Theory· Intelligent Architectures, Building, Control, Transportation Systems, and Applications· Intelligent Image Processing, E-learning/tutoring, and Networks· Logic, Knowledge Representation and Knowledge-Based Systems· Machine Learning· Mobile Computing· Natural Language Processing· Optimization and Swarm Intelligence· Data Mining with Swarm Intelligence· Pattern Recognition· Probabilistic and Uncertain Reasoning· Web Mining· Smart Sensor Networks and Smart Living Technology· Soft Computing· Ubiquitous Computing and its Applications· Web Intelligence and Interaction· Other Related Topics Instructions for Authors: Papers must correspond to the requirements detailed in the (Paper Submission) on the URL of the conference: http://www.mirlabs.org/his11/index.html.
