2nd European Symposium on Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems
29th of November – 1st of December, 2006 Puerto de la Cruz,
Tenerife, Spain
NiSIS 2006 - The 2nd European Symposium
on Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems took place in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife,
Spain from 29 November – 1 December, 2006.
It was again organised by the European NiSIS Co-ordination Group and has shown state-of-the-art
presentations as well as new developments in Nature-inspired Systems with Intelligent
Technologies.
NiSIS 2006 had four Plenaries with interesting, inspiring talks and twelve parallel
Sessions with 46 different presentations, where experts lectured their developments
and applications in different areas. In between very lively discussions took place
between the 68 participants during the three days. We were glad to welcome young
researcher giving presentations at the conference this year and also some new people
were participating.
Furthermore, some Task Force Workshops took place, having their Kick-off or their
final Meeting on the third day.
The Programme
In the Opening Session the Project Coordinator, Karl Lieven, took the chance to
inform the participants about the plans of the European Commission for the next
three years. He presented the different Calls for Proposals with the main goals
and explained his view about possible participation of the NiSIS group in future.
Out of the Brainstorming discussions in June 2006 in Palma de Mallorca, it seems
that the challenge on Cognitive Systems could be most relevant for us. Please find
an overview here or ask for the full material at the NiSIS Service Centre
The full programme of the three days including the
proceedings is available here.
The printed booklet will be available in January and can be ordered at the Service
Centre. To get an impression about the whole symposium, please have a look at the
pictures which can be downloaded here from our web site.
