SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COGNITIVE SYSTEMS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING (ICCSIP 2014) September 28-30, 2014, Beijing, China http://conference.csai.tsinghua.edu.cn/csip2014/index.asp The Second International Conference on Cognitive Systems and Information Processing (ICCSIP 2014) with IEEE MFI 2014 will be held during September 27-30, 2014, in Beijing, China. This conference is sponsored by Tsinghua University, Science in China Press, Institute of Software CAS, and technically sponsored by IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, Cognitive Systems & Information Processing Society of Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence, National Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Aerospace Intelligence Control, Science in China Series F: Information Sciences and the National Science Foundation Committee. The aim of this conference is to bring together experts from different expertise areas to discuss the state-of-the-art in artificial cognitive systems and advanced information processing, and to present new research results and perspectives on future development. Authors are invited to submit full-length papers (6 pages normally and 10 pages maximum) by the submission deadline through the online submission system in Channel 2 (not Channel 1). Potential organizers are also invited to enlist five or more papers with cohesive topics to form special sessions. The submission of a paper implies that the paper is original and has not been submitted under review or is not copyright-protected elsewhere and will be presented by an author if accepted. All submitted papers will be refereed by experts in the field based on the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and clarity. The authors of accepted papers will have an opportunity to revise their papers and take consideration of the referees'comments and suggestions. Papers presented at ICCSIP 2014 will be published in the EI-indexed proceedings and some selected excellent papers will be included in special issues of several journals including: Cognitive Computation, (6 papers) International Journal of Computational Intelligent Systems, (6 papers) International Journal of Control, Automation, and Systems (5-6 papers) Robotics and Autonumous Systems (10 papers) Robotics and Biomimetics (15-20papers) Science China: Information Sciences (4-5 papers) Tsinghua Science and Technology (English Version), (4-5 papers) Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering(English Version) (5-6papers) Authors are also invited to submit papers for special sessions listed in our website, which will be peer-reviewed with the same criteria used for the contributed papers. ************************************************ PROGRAM TOPICS ************************************************ 1.
