3rd European Symposium on Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems
26th of November – 27th of November, 2007 St Julians,
Malta
NiSIS 2007 is the 3rd Symposium organised by the European NiSIS Co-ordination
Group taking place from 26 – 27 November, 2007. The symposium will show state-of-the-art
presentations as well as new developments in Nature-inspired Systems with Intelligent
Technologies. The focus will be on the integration of life and applied sciences/engineering
that address issues on smart information systems, preferably with special interest
to apply this to other real-world problems. The aim is also to investigate Nature-inspired
Systems that coordinate perception, reasoning, and action to pursue multiple goals
while functioning autonomously in dynamic environments.
NiSIS is covering Nature-inspired Data Technology (NiDT), Nature-inspired Networks
(NiN), Nature-inspired Systems Modelling, Optimisation and Control (NiMOC). We are
going to have parallel sessions where experts present their newest developments
and applications in different areas.
Special Topics of interest are (include but are not limited to):
Autonomic Systems
- Self-organising
- Self-monitoring
- Self-repairing
- Self-design
- Self-managing
Auditory/Vision models and architectures
Visualisation Concepts
Intelligent Systems
- Swarm Intelligence
- Social Behaviours
- Learning and Adaptive Systems

- Evolvable hardware
Tutorial Papers
Special Application areas of interest are (include but are not limited to):
- Computing
- Pharmaceutical Industry
- Medical Services
- Chemical/Bio Tech
- Security
- Finance and Trade
During NiSIS 2007 the participants will have the opportunity:
- to discuss and exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face
- to establish business or research relations with those people who are important
in the area of the Symposium to find European partners for future collaboration
Who will benefit?
- Practitioners interested in the benefits of applying nature-inspired systems to
solve their problems
- Consultants, applied researchers and people in industry who are already running
projects with nature-inspired systems and want to exchange their experience in successful
projects
- Researchers wanting to identify important research problems for the coming years
- Individuals wanting to keep up to date with recent developments
- Those who have recently entered this rapidly expanding field, requiring a complete
perspective of the subject and its applications.
Why attend?
NiSIS 2007 provides you with the opportunity to:
- Keep up to date with the state-of-the-art in this rapidly advancing and expanding
field
- Meet consultants, researchers and people from industry to discuss possible applications
of nature-inspired systems
- Get to know successfully exploited technical as well as management applications
of nature-inspired systems in different industrial sectors
- Exchange your experiences in successful projects with other practitioners
- Make out future research problems
- Gain new perspectives on the relevance of nature-inspired systems to commercial
and industrial requirements, through the example of commercially-established applications
- Be part of a forum for industry and academia, and ensure improved collaboration
on future developments
