Focus Symposium on:
"Learning and Adaptation in Stochastic and Statistical Systems"
Organizer: Dr. Alexandru Murgu, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland

Symposium Scope and Overview
The past few years have seen a significant progress of the learning
and adaptation algorithms and other paradigms for planning,
optimization and control systems for solving real-life problems. The
main theme of this symposium is the automatic learning and adaptation
of the systems occuring in various fields. The acquisition of domain
specific knowledge and the search for its representations as
procedural metodology can be obtained by using learning and adaptation
techniques. In order to discuss the state of the art research and to
stimulate the cross-fertilisation of the pool of ideas, the
prospective authors are invited to submit papers on one or more of the
following aspects:
o modelling of learning and adaptive operators/agents in stochastic systems;
o time series modelling and mixture processes in evolutionary learning systems;
o estimation/filtering/prediction for stochastic/statistical systems;
o adaptive dynamics of knowledge networking processes;
o reinforcement learning for conformant and stochastic planning;
o stochastic programming and mathematical statistics of learning and adaptation
processes;
o stochastic/adaptive control strategies for learning systems;
o artificial intelligence approaches for cooperative/competitive learning and/or
adaptation processes.
In general, the use of any learning and/or adaptation technique (such
as inductive, supervised, analytic or reference model
learning/adaptation) for the improvement of stochastic/statistical
optimization/control systems will be of great interest. New viewpoints
on the interrelation between these approaches and the integration
efforts of different classes of methods are highly desired to be the
special merit of this symposium.
Paper Submission
Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers (4-5
single spaced pages) to the Session Chair, Dr. Alexandru Murgu
(address given below) by MARCH 1, 2001. The first page of the draft
paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal
address, telephone number, fax and E-mail address of each author. The
first page should also include the name of the contact author for
notification of acceptance and a list of maximum of 5 keywords. The
length of the camera ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7
pages. Papers must not have been previously published or currently
submitted for publication elsewhere.
Electronic submission is preferred. Papers can be submitted via e-mail
or made available on the web. In both cases, documents should be in
ZIPPED PostScript or PDF format and be named "author.zip", using the
name of the contact author. An e-mail message containing either the
file or its URL address (e.g. http://....../author.zip) should reach
the Session Chair before March 1, 2001. If electronic submission is
not possible, three hard copies should reach the Session Chair by the
same date. Notice that the final version of accepted papers must be
made available in PostScript, PDF, or source form.
If you are interesting in presenting your work in one of the above
areas, please send the draft paper(s) and the abstract(s) of about 200
words to
Dr. Alexandru Murgu
Department of Mathematical Information Technology
University of Jyvaskyla, FIN-40351 Jyvaskyla
FINLAND
Tel. +358-14-2602757
Fax. +358-14-2602731
The postscript / ASCII format of the paper sent to
<murgu@julia.math.jyu.fi> would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to
distributed this call for papers to your friends and colleagues.
Review Process and Conference Proceedings
All submitted papers and abstracts will be peer reviewed. The papers
have to provide sufficient information about the background to the
problem, clearly indicate the original contribution, evaluate the
results, draw conclusions and provide the adequate
references. Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the
InterSymp-2001.
Important Dates

Acceptance notification: April 1, 2001
Final manuscript: May 1, 2001
