*** Second 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

http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=ZG1hbmV0CQkJZG1hbmV0QHpwci51bmkta29lbG4uZGUJOXRoIEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBDb21wdXRhdGlvbmFsIENvbGxlY3RpdmUgSW50ZWxsaWdlbmNlIChJQ0NDSSAyMDE3KTogU2Vjb25kIENhbGwgZm9yIFBhcGVycyBhbmQgU3BlY2lhbCBTZXNzaW9ucyAmIFdvcmtzaG9wcyBQcm9wb3NhbHMJOTgJTGlzdHMJMjMzCWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcyprusconferences.org%2Ficcci2017%2F


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.


Instructions to Authors

Prospective authors of papers are invited to submit contributions for
presentations at ICCCI 2017. The submissions should present the results
of original research or innovative practical applications relevant to the
conference topics. Practical experiences with state-of-the-art in CCI
methodologies are also acceptable to reflect lessons of unique value for
the conference attendees. Contributions should be original and not
published elsewhere or intended to be published during the review process.

The conference language is English.

The conference proceedings of ICCCI 2017 will be published in the
prestigious Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series by Springer and

Call for Special Sessions and Workshops Proposals

ICCCI 2017 invites proposals for Special Sessions and Workshops to be
held during the conference. They intend to provide researchers in focused
areas the opportunity to present and discuss their work, as well as to
offer a forum for interaction among a broader community of researchers.
A Special Session or Workshop will consist of a group of papers in a
sub-discipline of Computational Collective Intelligence related to the
main topics of ICCCI 2017.

The papers will be required to meet the same standards as ICCCI 2017
papers and will be published in the conference proceedings, in a bound
volume by Springer in their Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series.
All the Special Sessions and Workshops will be centralized as tracks in the
same conference submission and reviewing system (EasyChair) as the
regular papers.

Please send the Special Session and Workshop proposals with the following
information:
· Title & acronym of the special session
· Brief profiles of special session organizers
· General description of the special session scope
· List of topics
· Proposed Session Program Committee (to be invited)

The format for the Special Session or Workshop proposal should follow
the pattern of the template available on the conference web site.

The organizers will be responsible for the advertisement and promotion of
the Special Sessions or Workshops and the conference including the Special
Sessions and Workshops webpage preparation. The management of papers
review will be achieved by Special Session and Workshops Committees, using
the Conference System (a separate EasyChair track will be provided for each
Special Session and Workshop). The organizers are responsible for managing
the review process. All the reviews should be submitted through EasyChair.
Each paper should obtain at least two reviews.

- sensor, mesh, and ad hoc networks
- specification, semantics, verification of concurrent systems


PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines on the conference web page (www.podc.org). Submission must be in English, in pdf format. The papers must be formatted as follows: letter-size paper (8.5x11 inch), single-column, using at least 1 inch margins, 11-point font. Submissions not conforming to these rules as well as the papers outside of the scope of the conference will be rejected without consideration.

A regular paper submission must report on original research that has not been previously or concurrently published; concurrent submissions to journals or conferences are not permitted. A regular submission must begin with a cover page containing: 1) title, with the subtitle "Regular Submission", 2) author names and affiliations, 3) contact author's email, address, and telephone number, 4) one paragraph abstract of the paper, 5) indication of whether at least one author is a full-time student and the paper is eligible for best student paper award. The paper must not exceed 10 pages (excluding cover page and references). All of the ideas necessary for an expert to verify fully the central claims in the paper should be included, some of which may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program committee. If desired, the authors can simply attach a copy of the full paper as the appendix.

A submission for a brief announcement must be at most 3 pages, including title, authors' names and affiliations, and references. Such submissions may describe work in progress or work presented elsewhere. The title of a brief announcement must begin with the words "Brief Announcement:".

If requested by the authors on the cover page, a regular submission that is not selected for a regular presentation will be considered for the brief announcement format. This will not affect consideration of the paper for a regular presentation.


PUBLICATION

Regular papers of up to 10 pages and brief announcements of up to 3 pages will be included in the conference proceedings. Extended and revised versions of selected papers will be considered for a special issue of the Distributed Computing journal. Two papers will be considered for publication in JACM.
