2017 IJCAI Workshop on AI in the Oceans and Space
https://sites.google.com/site/ijcai2017wsaispace/
Artificial Intelligence is making significant inroads in the space sector. AI systems are contributing to numerous space missions such as Hubble Space Telescope, Mars Exploration Rovers, the International Space Station, and Mars Express.
The workshop, co-organized by the Artificial Intelligence Group (http://ai.jpl.nasa.gov/) of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Advanced Concepts Team (www.esa.int/act) of the European Space Agency and examines the most recent applications and research related to artificial intelligence and space, reviewing the current state of the dialogue between the two areas. The workshop is part of the larger IJCAI conference (http://ijcai17.org/).
The workshop is the 6th in the series of prior workshops held in Hyderabad, India (at IJCAI 2007), Pasadena, CA (at IJCAI 2009), Barcelona, Catalonia (at IJCAI 2011), Beijing, China (at IJCAI 2013), Buenos Aires, Argentina (at IJCAI 2015).
The workshop includes AI topics, which already are, or may be of particular interest in the future from the space applications point of view, excepting Planning, Scheduling, and Execution, which is covered in the Sister Workshop, International Workshop on Planning and Scheduling for Space (co-located with ICAPS 2017).
Those topics include but are not limited to:
• Intelligent search and optimization methods in aerospace applications
• All forms of instrument data processing for ground-based and onboard science analysis
• Image analysis for Guidance Navigation and Control
• Autonomous exploration of interplanetary and planetary environments
• Artificial Life and Swarm Intelligence for space applications
• Intelligent algorithms for fault identification, diagnosis and repair
• Multi-agent systems approach and bio-inspired solutions for system design and control
• Advances in machine learning for space applications
• Intelligent interfaces for human-machine interaction
• Knowledge Discovery, Data Mining and presentation of large data sets
Special this year: Artificial Intelligence in the Oceans: In recognition of the significant overlap between space and marine autonomy/artificial intelligence, this year we are inviting presentation and participation from researchers in the area of marine artificial intelligence. As such we are inviting submissions in all of the above listed areas and all listed areas relating to Artificial Intelligence in marine robotics including but not limited to:
