AICS2006

	5th Chapter Conference on Advances in Cybernetic Systems 2006 September 7-8, 2006 City Campus Sheffield Hallam University Sheffield, United Kingdom
	Aims and objectives This international conference aimed to establish conceptual relationship between various sub-fields of Cybernetics to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the experimental, theoretical and application-oriented aspects of cybernetics. IEEE AICS2006 hoped to unite practicians and theorists from all areas of cybernetics including engineering, biology and chemistry, with the hope of fostering new research and development work within the cybernetics community. Theme and scope The theme of the conference was Advances in Cybernetic Systems. The program committee solicited high quality papers containing original contributions in all areas of experimental, theoretical and application-oriented aspects of cybernetics and industry applications, including, but not limited to: Robotic and micro-robotic systems; Feedback Systems; Biological Cybernetics; Chemical Cybernetics; System Modelling and Control; Adaptive Control Systems; Intelligent Systems (e.g. for communications, control, instrumentation, etc.); Image Processing; Pattern Recognition; Safety Reliability and Quality Assurance; Decision Support Systems; Manufacturing Systems; Data Mining; Large Scale Systems; Human Machine Systems; Human Computer Interfaces; Soft Computing; Fuzzy Logic Systems; Neural Systems; Software Systems; Computational Intelligence; Knowledge Based Systems; Agent-based Systems; Swarm Engineering; Emerging and Evolutionary Methods
