CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 

*CITEC Summer School 2016 on Adaptive Systems*

CITEC, Bielefeld University, Germany, 27th-30th of September 2016
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear young researchers,

The CITEC Summer School 2016 is dedicated to the topic of Adaptive 
Systems: https://www.cit-ec.de/summerschool

Adaptivity is the key for coping with tasks or environments whose 
properties cannot be completely known beforehand - a frequent 
characteristic of real world situations challenging artificial agents, 
real robots or biological organisms alike.

We offer you an interdisciplary mesh of courses held by an 
interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Excellence Center 
Cognitive Interaction Technology to acquaint you with current ideas and 
research about adaptivity, its foundations, analysis and its synthesis 
in artificial systems.

This year's topic is organized into four major thematic areas:

(A) Adaptive Motion

(B) Multimodal Learning and Social Interaction

(C) Deep Approaches to Relevance Learning

(D) Embodiment and Neuromorpic Learning Systems


Most of the courses provide the opportunity for hands-on experience, 
involving experiments or data sets captured in CITEC research labs. You 
are asked to choose one out of this four. They are complemented by talks 
of leading invited and local experts.

Invited speakers include:

  *

    *Ralph Etienne-Cummings**, *Johns Hopkins University, USA

  *

    *Kerstin Fischer**, *University of Southern Denmark

  *

    *Christian Igel*, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

  *

    *Andrew B. Schwartz*, University of Pittsburgh, USA


Beyond the courses and the talks of the speakers, attendance will 
provide you with ample opportunities for discussions, exchange of ideas 
with your peers and the participating researchers, and for learning more 
about CITEC.

The Summer School continues a series of highly successful CITEC Summer 
Schools started in 2010 and covering the topics of *The Structure of 
Cognitive Motion: From Analysis to Synthesis*(2010), *Mechanisms of 
Attention - From Experimental Studies to Technical Systems*(2011), 
*Verbal and Non-verbal Interaction: From Experiments to Implementation 
(*2012), and *Continuous Learning in Living and Artificial 
Systems*(2013) so far.

To apply visit https://www.cit-ec.de/summerschool/application and 
indicate your area of choice from the above area list (A)-(D). 
Applications will be open at least until July 29^th .
