GENERAL INFORMATION
WSOM 2011 will bring together researchers and practitioners in the
field of self-organizing systems, with a particular emphasis on the
self-organizing maps. It will highlight key advances in these and
closely related fields. WSOM 2011 is the eighth conference in a
series of bi-annual international conferences started with WSOM’97
in Helsinki.
The event will be co-located with the ICANN 2011 conference that
will be organized from 14th to 17th of June, 2011. Conference
programmes, registrations and fees will be coordinated.
PUBLICATION
It is planned that papers accepted for the WSOM 2011 Proceedings
will be published in the Springer series, Lecture Notes in Computer
Science. Registered authors will receive a hard copy proceedings
volume, and the proceedings will be available also in full-text
electronic format via Springer’s internet platform www.springer.com .
VENUE
WSOM 2011 will take place at the Aalto University School of Science
and Technology (former Helsinki University of Technology) and
Dipoli Conference Center. They are located in Espoo, in the close
vicinity of the Helsinki capital area. The area is one of the ICT
research and development hot spots in Europe as well as known for
its beautiful and easily accessible nature. The time of the year is
particularly suitable for visiting Finland.
TOPICS in THEORY, METHODS and APPLICATIONS
We expect contributions related to the theoretical and
methodological aspects of the self-organizing map including:
* Data analysis and visualization with a special topic of
modeling dynamic phenomena
* Various mathematical approaches including information theory
and mathematical statistics
* Software and hardware implementations
* Architectural solutions including hierarchical and growing
networks, ensemble models and special metrics
* Neuro-cognitive studies that compare modeling and empirical
results at different levels
We also call for scientific and practice-oriented papers that
describe the use of self-organizing maps with variants in different
application areas including but not limited to:
* Data mining
* Pattern recognition
* Signal processing
* Knowledge management
* Time series processing
* Industrial applications
* Bioinformatics
* Biomedical applications
* Telecommunications
* Financial analysis
* Cognitive modeling
* Robotics and intelligent systems
* Image processing and vision
* Speech processing
* Language modeling
* Text and document analysis
