IPIC 2016 - Symposium on Enabling an Intelligent Planet via Informatics and Cybernetics: IPIC 2016

Being the nature of IPIC 2016 a multi-disciplinary one, the basic aim is to organize it for an inter-disciplinary communication oriented to fostering analogical thinking and integrative processes as those mentioned below.
The Intelligent Planet is a multi-disciplinary set of applications requiring different disciplines as well as inter-disciplinary communication oriented to analogical thinking which is what usually provides input to the logical thinking that frequently characterizes disciplinary research. The integration of these multidisciplinary applications, among themselves and with their context, is in what support the notion of Intelligent Planet, and its design and implementation. Consequently, to purpose of the Organizing Committee is to provide a forum, in the context of a multi-disciplinary conference (e.g. WMSCI, IMSCI, IMCIC, etc.), for inter-disciplinary communication oriented to fostering analogical thinking and potential integration among:
1. Producers of cognitive technologies and cognitive engineers, in order to present their work, solutions, and innovations oriented to augment the component of Artificial Cognition or Intelligence in the interface between human beings and their environment, the Planet.
2. Consumers of present and potential cognitive technologies in order to present their reflections regarding the existent cognitive technologies and to provide input (requirements, problems, etc) for potential future cognitive technologies.
3. Users of cognitive technologies and thinkers to provide their reflections regarding the costs and benefits of these technologies, in general, or in specific cases or concrete technologies.
4. Researchers, professionals, and practitioners in the areas of Cognitive Science, Engineering, and Technologies, as well as in ICCCT, in order to reciprocally share their respective knowledge and experience in these areas in order to foster potential cybernetic loops among them in which they might 1) co-regulate their respective thinking and practice (via communicational negative feedback and feedforward) and 2) co-produce synergies (via communicational positive feedback) in order to conceive new useful applications and/or to re-conceive existent ones so they can be more efficient and/or effective.
5. The presentation of both problems and solutions related to any of the topics below, or the notion of "Intelligent Planet" are encouraged. Some of the attendees might have a solution or an idea or process leading to the solution of a problem presented at the Symposium, and reciprocally some attendees might be interested in the implementation of some of the solutions presented at IPIC 2016.
