              CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
Neural Information Processing Systems, Natural and Synthetic
NIPS*2003 Post-Conference Workshops, December 12 and 13, 2003
           Whistler/Blackcomb Resort, BC, Canada
                      www.nips.cc
------------------------------------------------------------

Following the regular program of the Neural Information
Processing Systems 2003 conference in Vancouver, BC, Canada,
workshops on various current topics in neural information
processing will be held on December 12 and 13, 2003, in
Whistler, BC, Canada.  We invite researchers interested in
chairing one of these workshops to submit workshop
proposals.

The goal of the workshops is to provide an informal forum
for researchers to discuss important research questions and
challenges.  Controversial issues, open problems, and
comparisons of competing approaches are encouraged and
preferred as workshop topics.  Representation of alternative
viewpoints and panel-style discussions are particularly
encouraged.  Workshop topics include, but are not limited
to, the following:

   Active Learning, Attention, Audition, Bayesian Networks,
   Bayesian Statistics, Benchmarking, Bioinformatics, Brain
   Imaging, Computational Complexity, Control, Genetic
   Algorithms, Graphical Models, Hippocampus and Memory,
   Human-Computer Interfaces, Hybrid Supervised/Unsupervised
   Learning, Implementations, Independent Component
   Analysis, Kernel Methods, Mean-Field Methods, Music,
   Network Dynamics, Neural Coding, Neural Plasticity,
   On-Line Learning, Optimization, Recurrent Nets, Robot
   Learning, Rule Extraction, Self-Organization, Sensory
   Biophysics, Signal Processing, Spike Timing, Support
   Vector Machines, Speech, Time Series, Topological Maps,
   and Vision.

Detailed descriptions of previous workshops may be found at
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/nips-6/nips2002/nips-papers.html.


There will be six hours of workshop meetings per day, split
into morning and afternoon sessions, with free time in
between for ongoing individual exchange or outdoor
activities.  Selected workshops may be invited to submit
proceedings for publication in the post-NIPS workshops
monographs series published by the MIT Press.

Workshop organizers have several responsibilities including:

 o Coordinating workshop participation and content, which
   includes arranging short informal presentations by
   experts, arranging for expert commentators to sit on a
   discussion panel, formulating a set of discussion topics,
   etc.

 o Moderating the discussion, and reporting its findings and
   conclusions to the group during evening plenary sessions

 o Writing a brief summary and/or coordinating submitted
   material for post-conference electronic dissemination.

Interested parties must submit a proposal for a workshop via
email by August 1, 2003.

Proposals should include title, description of what the
workshop is to address and accomplish, proposed workshop
length (1 or 2 days), planned format (e.g., lectures, group
discussions, panel discussion, combinations of the above,
etc.), and proposed speakers. Names of potential invitees
should be given where possible. Preference will be given to
workshops that reserve a significant portion of time for
open discussion or panel discussion, as opposed to pure
"mini-conference" format. An example format is:

 o Tutorial lecture providing background and introducing
   terminology relevant to the topic.

 o Two short lectures introducing different approaches,
   alternating with discussions after each lecture.

 o Discussion or panel presentation.

 o Short talks or panels alternating with discussion and
   question/answer sessions.

 o General discussion and wrap-up.

We suggest that organizers allocate at least 50% of the
workshop schedule to questions, discussion, and breaks.
Past experience suggests that workshops otherwise degrade
into mini-conferences as talks begin to run over.  For the
same reason, we strongly recommend that each workshop
include no more than 12 talks per day.

The proposal should motivate why the topic is of interest,
why it should be discussed, and who the targeted group of
participants is.  It also should include a brief resume of
the prospective workshop chair with a list of publications
to establish scholarship in the field.  We encourage
workshops that build, continue, or arise from one or more
workshops from previous years. Please mention any such
connections.

NIPS does not provide travel funding for workshop speakers.
In the past, some workshops have sought and received funding
from external sources to bring in outside speakers.  In
addition, the organizers of each accepted workshop can name
up to four people (six people for 2-day workshops) to
receive discounted registration for the workshop program.

Submissions should include the name, address, email address,
phone and fax numbers for all organizers.  If there is more
than one organizer, please designate one organizer as the
primary contact.

Proposals should be emailed as plain text to:

        [email protected]

Please do not use attachments, Microsoft Word, postscript,
html, or pdf files.  Questions may be addressed to:

        [email protected]

------------------------------------------------------------

Based on the success in 2002, the Neural Information
Processing Systems conference will once again include a
separate track for demonstrations.  The demonstrations will
take place in parallel with the poster sessions at the
NIPS*2003 conference.  Example areas of interest for the
demonstrations track include, but are by no means limited to
the following:

 o Analog and digital VLSI
 o Neuromorphic Engineering
 o Computational sensors and actuators
 o Robotics
 o bioMEMS (microelectromechanical systems)
 o Biomedical instrumentation
 o Neural prostheses
 o Photonics
 o Real-time multimedia systems
 o Large-scale neural emulators
 o Software demonstrations of novel algorithms

NIPS is an interdisciplinary conference, which attracts
cognitive scientists, computer scientists, engineers,
neuroscientists, physicists, statisticians, and
mathematicians interested in all aspects of neural and
statistical processing and computation.  The demonstration
track enables researchers to highlight scientific advances,
systems, and technologies in ways that go beyond conventional
poster presentations. It will provide a unique forum for
demonstrating advanced technologies (hardware and software),
and fostering the direct exchange of knowledge. We hope that
this track will stimulate interactions between researchers
from different fields (for example, roboticists and
neuromorphic engineers) and encourage new collaboration
between researchers in theoretical fields and those in more
applied fields.

Submissions accepted in the demonstrations track will be
published on the NIPS web site, but will not appear in
printed proceedings. However, submitting your work to the
demonstration track by no means precludes the submission of a
companion paper to the regular NIPS conference. In fact,
joint submissions are very much encouraged.  We also
encourage authors submitting demonstrations to consider
organizing a workshop at NIPS*2003. Note that the deadline
for paper submissions is July 1, 2003, and for demonstration
and workshop proposals the submission deadline is August 1,
2003. Please see http://nips.cc for further details.

There will be a separate room for these demonstrations and
participants will have access to power strips, tables and
poster boards.  VCRs and monitors will also be provided on
request. Participants are responsible for ensuring that their
demonstration is sufficiently portable; additional hardware
beyond that specified above will not be provided by NIPS but
might be provided at a cost if available.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All proposals for demonstrations
will be reviewed by the Demonstrations Co-Chairs.  Interested
parties should submit a brief description of their proposed
demonstration via email by August 1, 2003.  Proposals should
include a title, description of the device or system to be
demonstrated, main results, novelty and significance of the
work, any related publications, and estimated space
requirements for the demonstration. Please include the name,
address, email address, phone and fax numbers for all
co-authors on the submitted work, and indicate whether a
related paper has also been submitted to NIPS*2003.

Proposals should be emailed to [email protected], and
should be in plain ascii text, postscript or pdf.  Questions
may also be addressed to [email protected].  Information
about the main conference and the workshop program can be
found at http://nips.cc.

Subject: Workshop on Collectives & the Design of Complex Systems and Call for Papers
Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2003 10:55:16 -0700


WORKSHOP ON COLLECTIVES AND THE DESIGN OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS
AUGUST 25-28, 2003, STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alto, CA, USA

The advent of extremely cheap computing is quickly leading to a world
filled with large, artificial, distributed systems of self-motivated
components. This is in addition to the many naturally occuring systems
of this character. Very often we have performance criteria by which we
rank the dynamic behavior of such systems, e.g., GDP growth in a human
economy, stock price of a corporation, percentage of available free
energy used by an ecosystem, total throughput in a data network, total
scientific information gathered by a constellation of deployables,
etc.

Following up on the success of CDoCS 2002, this workshop will bring
together leading researchers from the physics, economics, biology,
engineering and computer science communities to help cement the
foundation of the field studying such systems. This field studies two
broad problems:

1) The forward problem concerns understanding the process by which the
structure underlying the local interactions of a collective affects
the overall performance criteria.

2) The inverse problem arises when we wish to design the structure of
the system to optimize its behavior according to the pre-specified
performance criteria.

This workshop will contain several short courses, in addition to
invited talks, contributed talks, and poster sessions generated from
submitted papers. The aim of these short courses is to establish a
common language and background for workshop attendees.  They will
cover the relationship between the study of collectives and the
following more established disciplines:

i) Mechanism Design/ Game theory;

ii) Statistical Physics / Econophysics;

iii) Optimization / Engineering design;

iv) Collective Intelligence / Reinforcement Learning.

It is intended that a book of the tutorials and selected works from
the workshop will be published.

Submissions are solicited, especially (though not exclusively) from
the following fields:

* Control of chaos
* Nonlinear control
* Nonlinear time series analysis
* Computational economics
* Mechanism design
* (Evolutionary) Game theory
* Statistical physics
* Population biology
* Multiagent systems
* Distributed adaptive control
* Reinforcement learning

The due date for submissions is May 23, 2004, to one of organizers
listed  below. Please indicate preference for either a talk or a
poster, and have submission be in either postscript of PDF
format. There is no set page limit per se.

Call for papers:

One of the fundamental mathematical constructs is the game. Formally,
two or more players (of which one may be "nature" or "environment")
have resources to deploy and receive a payoff based on their
deployment. Each player may desire to maximize his or her immediate
payoff, long-term payoff, or may be concerned with more complex issues
that relate to other players (e.g., maximize collective payoff, ensure
minimizing payoff to an opponent). Evolutionary computation has proven
to be an interesting and effective tool in machine learning methods to
address games of many forms. These include the iterated prisoner's
dilemma, standard board games, military simulations, and other
instances. Evolutionary algorithms have been used to learn effective
strategies against both fixed and simultaneously evolving opponents
(co-evolution), in cases of complete and also incomplete, uncertain,
and noisy information about the environment of the game. Many open
issues have been identified, including but not limited to the
selection of evolvable representations, choosing opponents effectively
to promote evolutionary learning, comparison of evolution and other
learning methods, and the requirements for sustaining coevolutionary
arms races and open-ended evolution. The special track will entertain
submissions in all areas of evolutionary computation and games.

Submission:

Papers should follow the formatting guidelines for CEC2003 regular
papers, and should be submitted by email directly to one of the
session organizers for review. Submissions should be in PDF format
and should not exceed 8 pages in length. This includes all figures,
tables, graphs, photos, and bibliography entries. Extra pages may be
purchased at US$100 per page. Special session papers should NOT be
submitted through the regular CEC2003 procedure. However, they will
be treated in the same way as regular papers, and included in the
conference proceedings. Please double check the printed appearance
of your paper before sending it.
