successfully conference series that attracts leading researchers from
a wide spectrum of scientific research areas such as cognitive science,
computer science, engineering, environmental sciences, geography,

science, and statistics. The conference has a tradition of focusing on
emerging topics and basic research findings across all sectors of the
field, and submission of pure application papers is discouraged.

The conference has two refereed paper tracks: full papers that will
be published in a Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume by Springer
and extended abstracts. In addition, the conference also includes a
variety of workshops and tutorials on September 18, covering
