PerMIS 2012 - 2012 Performance Metrics for Intelligent Systems (PerMIS'12) Workshop

The 2012 Performance Metrics for Intelligent Systems (PerMIS’12) Workshop will be the eleventh in a series of workshops dedicated to defining measures and methodologies of evaluating performance of intelligent systems. Started in 2000, the PerMIS series focuses on applications of performance measures to applied problems in commercial, industrial, homeland security, and military applications.
PerMIS’12 will focus on the methodologies and techniques of performance measurement for developing and engineering the next generation of cyber physical systems that facilitate seamless human-machine collaboration. In the context of the Workshop, Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are taken to mean the “tight conjoining of and coordination between computational and physical resources” [National Science Foundation CPS Program Definition].
In relation to the main theme, topic areas include, but are not limited to:
Defining, Measuring, and Engineering Capabilities of CPS:
Human-System Interaction, Collaboration and Coordination
Interoperability, Safety, Security, and Connectivity
Responsiveness, Reliability, Trustworthiness, Interchangeability, Durability
Portability, Mobility, and Scalability of Autonomous Systems
Levels of Autonomy
Predictable and cost-effective measurement science frameworks
Evaluating Components within Intelligent Systems:
Sensing and Perception
Knowledge Representation, World Models, Ontologies
Planning and Control
Learning, Adapting and Reasoning
Underlying Infrastructural Support for Performance Assessment:
Testing and Evaluation (including testbeds and competitions for inter-comparisons)
Instrumentation and Other Measurement Tools
Simulation and Modeling
Technology Readiness Measures for Intelligent Systems
Benchmarks and Applied Performance Measures and Metrics in Various Domains:
Manufacturing, Logistics, and Industrial Systems
Service: Domestic, Mining, Agriculture, …
Intelligent Transportation Systems
Defense and Security
Emergency Response Robots (e.g. search and rescue, bomb disposal)
Intelligent Systems and Robots for Hazardous Environments (e.g. nuclear remediation)
Smart Grid
Space Robotics
Medical & Healthcare Systems and Devices
The Proceedings of PerMIS are indexed by INSPEC, Compendex, ACM Digital Library, and are released as a NIST Special Publication.
We look forward to your participation in PerMIS'12!
