   Papers and panel sessions are being sought for a special track on   
   "Issues in Developing Adaptive Intelligence" which will be part of the   
   next Performance Metrics for   
   Intelligent Systems Workshop (PerMIS '04), being  held at the   
   National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD   
   USA August 24-26, 2004.   
      
   Issues in Developing Adaptive Intelligence   
   This track seeks to provide an interdisciplinary look at the   
   construction and metrics of systems that demonstrate adaptive   
   behaviors. An important test of any such system is how they cope with   
   the open-ended, unbounded, and changing range of knowledge and   
   processing needed for true intelligence.  This track will consider   
   individual and coordinated cognitive tasks such as planning with   
   uncertainty; interleaving of perception, planning and action; and   
   agent communication. The track is intended to further practical,   
   interdisciplinary views of adaptive, learned and evolutionary   
   processes by providing infrastructure for the design and performance   
   evaluation of such intelligent systems.   
      
   TOPIC AREAS for the track overlap with the PerMIS topics including,   
   but not limited to:   
      
   -	Meaning and measurement  of autonomy of a system and its relations   
   	to learning, knowledge and adaptation   
   -	Evaluating Components and component inter-relations within   
   	Intelligent Systems   
   -	Sensing , Planning, Control and Perception   
   -	Knowledge Representation, World Models   
   -	Ontologies and knowledge bases   
   -	Learning , Adapting and Evolving   
   -	Communications & Collaboration  with Humans (and Other Systems)   
   -	Testbeds, Grand Challenges and Competitions for Inter-comparisons   
   -	Evaluating Architectures for Intelligence   
   -	Hybrid and Unified Systems   
   -	Central/top-down and decentralized/bottom-up,   
   -	Symbolic, Reactive, Neural net, Fuzzy, Self organizing etc.   
   -	Adaptive robots, Biorobotics and Evolutionary robotics
