AI for Intelligent Scheduling Systems

Maio 12  – 17:00h


Zoom Online: https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/86109989605

About the Activity: 

Scheduling is a critical function that is present throughout many industries and applications. A great need exists for developing scheduling approaches that can be applied to a number of different scheduling problems with significant impact on performance of business organizations. A challenge is emerging in the design of scheduling support systems for manufacturing environments where dynamic adaptation and optimization become increasingly important. In this lecture, Self-Optimizing Mechanism for Scheduling System through Nature Inspired Optimization Techniques will described.

[rede.APPIA] Fwd: Call For Papers – BRACIS’2021

Call For Papers

10th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems (BRACIS)

http://c4ai.inova.usp.br/bracis/

Online Event

November 29 – December 03, 2021

>>>> Deadline for paper submissions: May 31, 2021 <<<<

>>>> CALL FOR PAPERS <<<<

The Program Committee of the 10th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent System (BRACIS) invites submissions of original research papers for the conference from November 29th to December 3th, 2021. Due to the COVID pandemic and the sanitary and economical related issues, the conference will be held online. BRACIS 2021 will be organized by C4AI Center for Artificial Intelligence (https://c4ai.inova.usp.br/).

BRACIS is the most important event in Brazil for researchers in the fields of Artificial  and Computational Intelligence. The Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems (BRACIS) originated from the combination of the two most traditional scientific events in Brazil in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computational Intelligence (CI): the Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence – SBIA (21 editions ), and the Brazilian Symposium on Neural Networks – SBRN (12 editions). The conference aims to promote theory and applications of Artificial and Computational Intelligence. BRACIS also aims for the promotion of international level research by exchanging scientific ideas among researchers, practitioners, scientists, and engineers.

IMPORTANT DATES

– Paper submission –  May 31, 2021 

– Notification to authors – July 30, 2021

– Camera-ready copy due – August 19, 2021

SPECIAL ISSUES

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their work to be appreciated for publication in special issues after the conference.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

*** Please, note that BRACIS submission is double-blind ***  

This means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not reveal their identity.

Submissions should include significant and unpublished research on all aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Computational Intelligence (CI).

Submission format

Submitted papers must be written in English, and not exceed 15 pages, including all tables, figures, references, and appendices. 

Formatting instructions, as well as templates for Word and LaTeX, are available at Conference Proceedings guidelines. Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are also available in Overleaf .

All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three experts in the field. Accepted papers will be included in the BRACIS proceedings, and submitted for publication in Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. 

Only PDF files can be uploaded in the submission system.

[rede.APPIA] CFP: SoGood 2021– 6th Workshop on Data Science for Social Good (ECML-PKDD 2021)

Call for papers  SoGood 2021 – 6th Workshop on Data Science for Social Good  Affiliated with ECML-PKDD 2021, 13-17 September 2021  Workshop URL: https://sites.google.com/view/ecmlpkddsogood2021      This is the sixth edition of the workshop; the previous workshops were held jointly   with ECML-PKDD 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.    The possibilities of Data Science for contributing to social, common, or public good   are often not sufficiently perceived by the public at large.   Data Science applications are already helping in serving people   at the bottom of the economic pyramid, aiding people with special needs,   helping international cooperation, and dealing with environmental problems,   disasters, and climate change. In regular conferences and journals,   papers on these topics are often scattered among sessions with names   that hide their common nature (such as "Social networks", "Predictive models"   or the catch-all term "Applications").     Additionally, such forums tend to have a strong bias for papers that   are novel in the strictly technical sense (new algorithms,   new kinds of data analysis, new technologies) rather than   novel in terms of social impact of the application.    This workshop aims to attract papers presenting applications   of Data Science for Social Good (which may, or may not require new methods),   or applications that take into account social aspects of   Data Science methods and techniques.   There are numerous application domains, a non-exclusive list includes:    * Government transparency and IT against corruption    * Public safety and disaster relief    * Access to food, water, and utilities    * Efficiency and sustainability    * Data journalism    * Economic, social, and personal development    * Transportation    * Energy    * Smart city services    * Education    * Social services, unemployment and homeless    * Healthcare    * Ethical issues, fairness, and accountability.    * Trustability and interpretability    Topics aligned with the UN development goals        The major selection criteria will be the novelty of the application   and its social impact. Position papers are welcome too.    We are also interested in applications that have built a successful business model   and are able to sustain themselves economically.   Most Social Good applications have been carried out by non-profit and charity organisations,   conveying the idea that Social Good is a luxury that   only societies with a surplus can afford. We would like to hear from successful projects,   which may not be strictly "non-profit" but have Social Good as their main focus.    There will be an award for the best paper.        Paper submission:    Authors should submit a PDF version in Springer LNCS style using EasyChair.    The maximum length of papers is 16 pages, consistent with the ECML PKDD conference submissions.    Submitting a paper to the workshop means that if the paper is accepted,   at least one author will attend the workshop and present the paper.   Papers not presented at the workshop will not be included in the proceedings.    In light of COVID-19, we will follow ECML PKDD’s policy for virtual attendance and presentation.        Paper publication:    Accepted papers will be published by Springer as joint proceedings of several ECML PKDD workshops.        Workshop format:    Full-day workshop    1-2 keynote talks, speakers to be announced    Oral presentation of accepted papers    Panel discussion with the audience

[rede.APPIA] DaSSWeb – Data Science and Statistics Webinar – 11 May – Info-metrics, by Pedro Macedo

DaSSWeb – Data Science and Statistics Webinar
Tuesday 11 May, 14:30
Speaker: Pedro Macedo University of Aveiro
Title: Info-metrics: some attractive tools for Data Science and Statistics
Zoom link: videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/83875914782
Abstract: Info-metrics is a research area at the intersection of statistics, information theory, computer science and decision analysis, where the maximum entropy principle, established by Edwin Jaynes in 1957, plays a fundamental role. The maximum entropy principle provides a tool for solving ill-posed problems that occur in diverse areas of science and it can be seen as an extension of the Bernoulli’s principle of insufficient reason. Some methodologies and related concepts from info-metrics will be briefly presented and illustrated in the webinar.
