Computational Intelligence is concerned with techniques that explore ways of combining elements of learning, adaptation, evolution, fuzzy logic, and other forms of artificial intelligence techniques, in order to create intelligent systems. Research areas include (but not limited to): evolutionary computation, neural networks, fuzzy systems, complex systems, swarm intelligence, computational game theory, Bayesian learning, metaheuristics, and artificial immune systems, etc.

The First Australasian Computational Intelligence Summer School (ACISS’09) will be held in association with the 22nd Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI'09).

The aim of ACISS, is to introduce researchers (graduate/postgraduate students and early career researchers in particular) to the general area of Computational Intelligence, and to showcase important new techniques/tools that can be used in research.  Furthermore, ACISS will provide an opportunity for CI researchers (young as well as more experienced) in Australia, New Zealand, and the broader Asia Pacific region, to exchange research ideas and network with each other.

ACISS’09 will consist of a series of 1 or 2-hour tutorial sessions on specific topics designed at both beginning and/or advanced levels. A small tutorial fee will be charged to cover for the running cost of the tutorials.

ACISS’09 tutorials will be scheduled on 30 November and/or 1 December 2009, depending on the number of tutorials accepted. Tutorial speakers will use a tutorial room and standard AV equipments during a session.

ACISS’09 is now calling for tutorial proposals. The tutorials proposals should be sent to Dr Xiaodong Li (email: xiaodong.li@rmit.edu.au) by 12 August 2009.  Proposals for tutorials should not exceed 2 pages in length and should contain the following information:

• A title of the tutorial, an abstract of the tutorial and a brief resume of the speaker(s), suitable for inclusion on the summer school webpage.
• A recent photo (JPEG format) for inclusion on the summer school webpage.
• A detailed description of the tutorial.
• Targeted audience (Beginners or Advanced level)
