AAAI 2005 Fall Symposium

AAAI 2005 Fall Symposium on Anticipatory Cognitive Embodied Systems

 

AAAI 2005 Fall Symposium

From Reactive to Anticipatory Cognitive Embodied Systems

November 3-6, 2005, Hyatt Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia

 

Do cognitive systems need anticipatory capabilities to successfully cope with a dynamic environment? How deep is the relation between cognition, action and anticipation? How much explicit such anticipatory representations are? What is the role of anticipation in artificial, human and animal cognitive systems?


The fall symposium will face these great challenges by bringing together top scientists from Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Psychology, AI and Robotics. The pervasiveness of anticipation in cognitive systems is in fact acknowledged by many diverse disciplines but still there is a need for a unified approach to the subject.

Anticipatory Cognitive Science is a research field that ensembles artificial intelligence, biology, psychology, neurology, engineering and philosophy in order to build anticipatory cognitive systems that are able to face human tasks with the same anticipatory capabilities and performance. In deep: Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of mind and intelligence, embracing philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology. Its intellectual origins are in the mid-1950s when researchers in several fields began to develop theories of mind based on complex representations and computational procedures. Its organizational origins are in the mid-1970s when the Cognitive Science Society was formed and the journal Cognitive Science began. Since then, more than sixty universities in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia have established cognitive science programs, and many others have instituted courses in cognitive science.
