RU-SIKS symposium: Trends in Artificial Intelligence
On Friday 28th November, 2008 the Section on Model-based System Development (MBSD) of the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences of Radboud University Nijmegen in cooperation with SIKS will organise a symposium about current TRENDS IN RESEARCH ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE in which a number of well-known researchers participate.
The symposium is intended for researchers and students with an interest in current developments in research on model-based reasoning and probabilistic graphical models.
You are cordially invited to participate. Please, inform Irma Haerkens (I.Haerkens@cs.ru.nl) whether you wish to attend,and whether you will make use of the free lunch.
The Workshop is part of the Advanced Components Stage of SIKS educational program.
Therefore, PhD-students working on the SIKS-foci "Knowledge Representation and Reasoning" and "Computational Intelligence" are strongly encouraged to participate.
