INTRODUCTION

ICCCI 2011 is an international scientific conference for research in the field of Computational Collective Intelligence (CCI), to be held on 21-23 September, 2011 in Gdynia city, Poland.

Computational Collective Intelligence is most often understood as an AI sub-field dealing with soft computing methods which enable making group decisions or processing knowledge among autonomous units acting in distributed environments. Web-based systems, social networks and multi-agent systems very often need these tools for working out consistent knowledge states, resolving conflicts and making decisions.

The aim of this conference is to provide an internationally respected forum for scientific research in the computer-based methods of collective intelligence and their applications in (but not limited to) such fields as semantic web, social networks and multi-agent systems.

ICCCI 2011 is organized by Gdynia Maritime University and Wroclaw University of Technology in Poland. Gdynia Maritime University in which it will take place is located in the port city Gdynia known for its picturesque seashore with marinas, promenades and yacht clubs. However there is more to enjoy nearby, as Gdynia is a part of the Tricity, which also includes a thousand-year-old Gdańsk, Poland’s cultural gem, and Sopot, a health-resort with its beautiful Landscape Park and splendid sandy beaches. The many attractions of the area are easily reached via Gdansk Lech Walesa International Airport, and all three cities are linked by frequent and comfortable commuter lines. Gdynia Maritime University is a specialized technical university and the largest Polish and European Centre for higher maritime education. The University is actively involved in numerous national and European research projects.

SCOPE OF ICCCI 2011

Methodological, theoretical and practical aspects of computational collective intelligence such as group decision making, collective action coordination, knowledge integration, understood as the form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals (artificial and/or natural).The application of multiple computational intelligence technologies such as fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, neural systems, consensus theory, etc., to support human and other collective intelligence and creation of new forms of CCI in natural and/or artificial systems. Three subfields of application of computational intelligence technologies to support various forms of collective intelligence are of special attention but are not the only ones: semantic web (as an advanced tool increasing collective intelligence), social network analysis (as the field targeted to the emergence of new forms of CCI), and multiagent systems (as a computational and modeling paradigm especially tailored to capture the nature of CCI emergence in populations of autonomous individuals).

All papers must provide at most five key words including one or more of the topics as listed above. All papers will be reviewed by peers.

SPECIAL SESSIONS

Special sessions are to be held in conjunction with the ICCCI 2011 conference. They are aimed to provide opportunities for researchers, professionals and students to meet and discuss selected topics in the ICCCI 2011 conference scope.

If you are interested in proposing and organizing session, please sent the proposal to ICCCI 2011 am.gdynia.pl> before 15 February 2011.

Special session proposals should include:
