*** First Call for Papers and Special Sessions & Workshops Proposals ***
9th International Conference on Computational Collective Intelligence
ICCCI 2017
Hilton Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus
27 - 29 September, 2017
Computational Collective Intelligence is most often understood as an AI
subfield 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. ICCCI 2017 is
the 9th edition of the conference organized by the University of Cyprus and
Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Poland, in cooperation with
the IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Computational Collective Intelligence.
The aim of the 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
group decision making, consensus computing, knowledge integration,
semantic web, social networks and multi-agent systems.

The goal of this special track is to encourage the submission of papers
describing all aspects of the development, deployment and evaluation of planning
and scheduling systems for real-world problems. Topics addressed in
applications papers may include, but are not limited to:
* Description and modelling of novel application domains
* Engineering issues in using P&S techniques
* Integration of multiple P&S techniques, or of P&S techniques with techniques
from other areas or disciplines
* User interface design, visualization and explanation for a P&S application
* Experiences in development, deployment and maintenance of P&S applications
* Evaluation, testing, and validation of P&S applications
* Assessment of impact on end users
In order to ensure that papers are reviewed fairly, the track has a separate
programme committee consisting of individuals with experience working on
applications of Planning and Scheduling technology to real world problems.
Papers submitted to this track will be evaluated using different criteria,
particularly:
* Significance of the application problem being addressed
* Importance of P&S technology to solution of the problem
* Novelty of the application and technical approach to the application
* Evaluation of the system and its deployment
