RSSC'97 The Fifth International Workshop on Rough Sets and Soft Computing.
Rough sets and fuzzy sets are complementary generalizations of classical sets.

* Enterprise Modeling (including process, product, and organization

The goals of the symposium will be to achieve greater understanding of the
following issues:
* What are the roles that implemented ontologies play. Do they support
automated reasoning and problem-solving? Are they used as an
interlingua to achieve interoperabilty, reuse, or sharing? Are they
used 'merely' to ensure communication of a shared understanding between
people?
* What methodologies can we use to design and evaluate ontologies? Will
these methodologies differ according to the different intended uses?
* How can tools best provide assistance for the design and implementation
of ontologies?
* To what extent are the ontologies designed in different domains
shareable and reusable? How can we structure ontologies to support
sharing and reuse?
* Do we require a suite of generic ontologies to support the more
domain-specific ones? If so, what are these generic ontologies? How can
they be related to existing standards?
* What are the obstacles to the integration of different ontologies?
* What lessons have people learned from the implementation of their
ontologies?

ICSE 97 International Conference on Software Engineering.
The theme of the 1997 International Conference on Software Engineering is "Pulling Together." Pulling together denotes coordinated action of many individuals in achieving a common goal. It also describes the coming together of many different perspectives, concerns, and abilities to find a common ground and a way of achieving cooperation. Pulling together is fundamentally dynamic in nature, and is often a matter of explicit negotiation and communication. Major changes have been instituted in ICSE 97 to help the software engineering community pull together, in the full sense of that phrase.

CIRA'97 IEEE International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation.
The theme of CIRA'97 will be "Toward New Computational Principles for
Robotics and Automation".
Neural and fuzzy information processing, evolutionary computation,
artificial life, chaos, etc., referred often collectively as computational
intelligence, have by nature a strong connection to robotics and
automation. During the past decade, numerous applications of computational
intelligence to robotics and automation have appeared as partial or full
alternatives to conventional approaches. A potentially explosive growth of
applications is expected in the near future with many practical as well
theoretical contributions, as research and practice of computational
intelligence mature. Researchers are paying close attention to the
emergence of new computational principles as they are applied in particular
to robotics and automation. Indeed, the computational intelligence enables
real-time and robust connections between sensing and action through
learning. However, many research results as well as the growing level of
interest in computational intelligence by the robotics and automation
community have been scattered around various conferences and symposiums of
more general themes. CIRA'97 will provide an international forum which
draws together researchers and practitioners working on different aspects
of computational intelligence in robotics and automation to exchange their
ideas, concepts, and results. Participants will enjoy high quality,
focused, and in-depth discussions on the subject matters of their interest.

EUROGEN A short course on Genetic Algorithms and Evolution Strategies in Computational Science and Engineering.
Objectives of the course To present a compendium of state of the art lectures about theoretical aspects, numerical implementation and practical results obtainable using Genetic Algorithms and Evolution Strategies for discrete, continuous and combinatorial optimisation problems. To present the existing connection between evolution algorithms and other techniques like Fuzzy logic and Neural Networks. To provide a bridge, with the rising impact of distributed parallel computers, between Artificial Intelligence and Scientific Computing looking at real life problems. Targeted applications are Fluid Dynamics, Structure Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Automation Control, Resource Optimisation, Image Processing and Economics. Multi-disciplinary applications are featured, among others, in Engineering and Applied Sciences where evolution works impressively well with computer programs.

Imitation Learning. A NIPS*97 Post-Conference Workshop.
The goal of this 1-day workshop is to identify and discuss the complex
information processes of imitation learning in short presentations and panel
discussions. The hope is to outline a strategy of how imitation learning
could be studied systematically by bringing together researchers with a
broad range of expertise. Topics of the workshop include:
- how learning methods can profit from (i.e., can be biased by) a
demonstration of a teacher,
- how the recognition process of a demonstration could interact with
the generative process of motor control (e.g., connecting to ideas of
reciprocally constrained learning processes, as in Helmholtz machines),
- how memory and attentional processes operate during imitation,
- segmentation and recognition of the teacher's demonstration,
- extracting the intent of a demonstration,
- psychophysical experiments on imitation learning,
- mapping imitation learning onto the functional structure in
primate brains,
- robot and simulation studies of imitation learning,
- representations supporting imitation learning.
