CALL FOR PAPERS

Following the success of the previous editions of the Workshop on
Cognitive Information Processing (CIP), we are pleased to announce the
third one in this series*.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the machine
learning, pattern recognition, statistical signal processing, social
sciences, communications and radar communities in an effort to promote
and encourage cross-fertilization of ideas and tools.

CIP 2012 will take place in Baiona (Spain), at Parador de Baiona
Hotel, which rises as an impressive viewpoint over the ocean ,
surrounded by medieval fortress.

The workshop will feature keynote addresses and technical presentations,
oral and poster, all of which will be included in the workshop proceedings.

Papers are solicited for the following areas in theory and applications:

THEORY
Machine learning theory
Cognitive principles for machine and ensemble architectures and training
Adaptive and sparsity-aware learning
Deep learning and extreme machines
Cognitive psychological modeling
Machine understanding and human-machine interaction
Cognitive dynamical systems
Cognitive fuzzy methods and techniques
Cognitive decision making and game theory
Collaborative sensing Large-Scale Machine Learning

APPLICATIONS

Cognitive signal processing Distributed and cooperative processing
Cognitive communications: Modulation, networks, dynamic spectrum
management and personalization.
Cognitive radar and sonar: Detection, estimation, tracking and target
identification
Information (data, text, audio, image, video) mining
Social networks
Applications in social sciences, medicine, neuroimage, bioinformatics,
energy and smart grids,
advanced manufacturing, engineering systems, industrial processes,
economy and finance.
