2nd Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing (CIP2010)
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the machine learning, pattern recognition, statistical signal processing, communications and radar/sonar communities in an effort to promote and encourage cross-fertilization of ideas and tools. The main application areas are: Cognitive radio networks; Cognitive radio modulation techniques; Dynamic spectrum management; Opportunistic resource allocation; Cognitive radar and sonar; Knowledge based target detection, estimation, tracking and identification; Waveform agility design; Blind source separation; Cognitive dynamic systems; Distributed, cooperative, and adaptive processing; Remote sensing. The workshop will enjoy 6 distinguished talks given by world-wide known researchers and 6 Special Sessions on very hot topics organized by 12 experts in the different application areas.

Following the success of the first edition of the workshop on Cognitive Information Processing (CIP), we are pleased to announce the second one in this series. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the machine learning, pattern recognition, statistical signal processing, communications and radar communities in an effort to promote and encourage cross-fertilization of ideas and tools. The first CIP took place in 2008 in Santorini (http://cip2008.di.uoa.gr) and it was a very successful event. A number of top people from the areas of machine learning, cognitive radar, cognitive signal processing and cognitive radio got together.
CIP2010 will be sponsored by the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR, http://www.iapr.org/) and it will have the technical co-sponsorship of the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP, http://www.eurasip.org), of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society (http://ieee-aess.org/main/) and the IEEE Signal Processing Society (http://www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/)

- Date and location.
CIP2010 will take place on June
14-16, 2010,
in Italy, in the island of Elba, at the Grand Hotel Elba
International (http://www.elbainternational.it),
which dominates the Bay of Naregno.
The expected number of attendees is about
10 – 120 people.
- Technical program.
The workshop will feature keynote addresses and technical presentations, oral (invited) and poster (regular), all of which will be included in the workshop proceedings. Papers are solicited in the following areas:
Theory:
• Learning theory and modelling;
• Bayesian learning and models;
• Information theoretic learning;
• Graphical and kernel methods;
• Adaptive learning algorithms;
• Ensembles: committees, mixtures, boosting, etc.;
• Data representation and analysis;
• Collaborative sensing techniques;
• Other topics for cognitive information processing.
Applications:
• Cognitive radio networks;
• Cognitive radio modulation techniques;
• Dynamic spectrum management;
• Opportunistic resource allocation;
• Cognitive radar and sonar;
• Knowledge based target detection, estimation, tracking and
identification;
• Waveform agility design;
• Blind source separation;
• Cognitive dynamic systems;
• Distributed, cooperative, and adaptive processing;
• Remote sensing;
• Other application areas.
