Call for Papers Second International Workshop on INTELLIGENT CONTROL [ONE OF EIGHT TRACKS UNDER JCIS'98]Oct.23-28,1998 Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center,RTP,N.C.,USA Santa Fe Institute,the nerve center of a think tank consisting of prominent scientists,has identified complexity,adaptation,and upheavals at the edge of chaos. NSF and other US research agencies are pushing for learning,adaptive,intelligence ,knowledge and distributed information.Indeed,a very exciting period of dynamic systems research is ahead of us! The task of designing intelligent control systems must be looked at from the systems integrating point of view. The4 evolution of classical and modern control has brought many challenges for control engineers in solving the peocessing problems of intelligent and complex systems.The emergence of the powerful computational intelligence tools of fuzzy logic,neural networks, AI,genetic algorithms and pattern recognition;all biologically inspired;have matured enough during the past decade for control engineers to begin to think about the architecture,functioning and basic characteristics of an intelligent control system!This workshop recognizes an urgently needed forum for public discussion and debate of these important issues. The keynote and plenary speakers include: Panos J.Antsaklis ,John Baillieul ,Stephen Grossberg ,Yu Chi Ho , Lotfi A.Zadeh ,Julius T.Tou ,Jim Albus,...Please refer to: http://www.ee.duke.edu/JCIS98 for more complete listings and general information!The deadline for both summaries and session proposals is June 1,1998.The paper acceptance notifications will be sent by Aug.1 ,1998.Full length papers can be reviewed for possible inclusion in various special issues of INFORMATION SCIENCE JOURNAL,due Oct.28,1998.
