QUANTUM INTERACTION SYMPOSIUM (QI-2007)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
as part of the American Association of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI
2007) spring symposia series held at Stanford University, March 26-28,
2007.
Quantum Mechanics (QM) is emerging from physics into non-quantum
domains such as human language, cognition, information retrieval,
biology, political science, organizations, and social interaction.
The goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers working in
these areas for the first time using artificial intelligence (AI) as a
background theme. For example, whether a QM approach to AI can be
supported by field results in a specific content area; e.g.,
non-monotonic reasoning (NMR), or organizational decision-making.
The symposium will present research dealing with the use of concepts
taken from the general body of research in quantum mechanics on the
physical, epistemological, mathematical or philosophical levels and
applied to modelling and better understanding phenomena in social,
political, linguistic, cognitive, mathematical and computer sciences.
RELEVANT TOPIC AREAS
Papers should also address one or more content areas by specifying the
relevance to AI or how AI may be used to solve a specific content area
(especially prized will be those papers with a plan to craft quantum
agents, systems or robots with methods that merge AI and QM in
addressing these topics):
· Language
· Cognition and Brain (vision, attention, pauses)
· Information retrieval
· Biology (e.g., neural or mental processing; biology systems)
· Political Science
· Illusions (bistable visual, auditory or other dual perceptual
phenomena)
· Entertainment (e.g., the relationship between consciousness and the
mental phenomenon of media to entrain human observers)
· Social Interaction
· Quantum agents; quantum multi-agent systems; quantum robots.
· Organizations ( including corporations; also processes such as
mergers; and end results such as culture, ethnicity, etc.)
· Other (possible topics: complex systems; traffic congestion,
environmental disasters; and environmental contamination cleanup
decisions; creativity; social power)
SUBMISSIONS OF PAPERS
Potential participants are invited to submit either a full paper (up to
EIGHT pages), or a position paper (up to FOUR pages) outlining their
relevant research activities and how they would like to contribute to
the symposium. Submissions will be judged by at least two referees on
technical merit and on potential to provoke active discussions.
Submissions, in PDF format, should be sent no later than 6 October 2006
to p.bruza@xxxxxxxxxx using the subject line "QI-2007 Submission".
In the email you should specify if you intend it to be a LONG or
POSITION paper.
All submissions should conform to the AAAI style format.

The organizers are planning to have a number of accepted papers
expanded into an edited volume, the first in this area.
