Web-based systems, social networks and<br>multi-agent systems very often need these tools for working out consistent<br>knowledge states, resolving conflicts and making decisions. ICCCI 2017 is<br>the 9th edition of the conference organized by the University of Cyprus and<br>Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Poland, in cooperation with<br>the IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Computational Collective Intelligence.<br>The aim of the conference is to provide an internationally respected forum<br>for scientific research in the computer-based methods of collective<br>intelligence and their applications in (but not limited to) such fields as<br>group decision making, consensus computing, knowledge integration,<br>semantic web, social networks and multi-agent systems.<br><br><br><b>Instructions to Authors<br></b><br>Prospective authors of papers are invited to submit contributions for<br>presentations at ICCCI 2017. The submissions should present the results<br>of original research or innovative practical applications relevant to the<br>conference topics. Practical experiences with state-of-the-art in CCI<br>methodologies are also acceptable to reflect lessons of unique value for<br>the conference attendees. Contributions should be original and not<br>published elsewhere or intended to be published during the review process.<br> <br>The conference language is English.<br> <br>The conference proceedings of ICCCI 2017 will be published in the<br>prestigious Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series by Springer and<br>indexed by ISI(CPCI-S), Web of Science, EI, Scopus, DBLP, ACM Digital<br>Library. All submissions should follow the LNCS/LNAI style and not<br>exceed 10 pages. At least one full registration is required for each<br>accepted paper in order to be included in the ICCCI 2017 proceedings.<br><br>Each paper is to be submitted electronically as a single PDF file through<br>EasyChair at <a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQk5dGggSW50ZXJuYXRpb25hbCBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIENvbXB1dGF0aW9uYWwgQ29sbGVjdGl2ZSBJbnRlbGxpZ2VuY2UgKElDQ0NJIDIwMTcpOiBGaXJzdCBDYWxsIGZvciBQYXBlcnMgYW5kIFNwZWNpYWwgU2Vzc2lvbnMgJiBXb3Jrc2hvcHMgUHJvcG9zYWxzCTg4CUxpc3RzCTI0NwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair.org%2Fconferences%2F%3Fconf%3Diccci2017">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iccci2017</a> .<br>To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the ICCCI<br>2017 International Program Committee. Referees will be asked to nominate<br>papers for a Best Paper award to be announced at the conference.<br>All accepted papers must be presented by one of the authors who must<br>register for the conference and pay the author registration fee.<br>A selected number of accepted and personally presented papers, will be<br>expanded and revised for possible inclusion in special issues of high<br>quality scientific journals.<br><br><br><b>Topics of Interest <br></b><br>We welcome all submissions in the subjects of CCI related (but not limited)<br>to the following topics: <br><br> Agent Theory and Application <br> Automated Reasoning <br> Cognitive Modeling of Agent Systems <br> Collective Intelligence <br> Collective Processing<br> Computational Biology <br> Computer Vision <br> Computational Intelligence <br> Computational Security <br> Consensus Computing<br> Cooperative Systems and Control <br> Cybernetics for Informatics <br> Data Integration<br> Data Mining for Social Networks <br> Distributed Intelligence <br> Evolutionary computing <br> Fuzzy Systems <br> Geographic Information Systems<br> Grey Theory <br> Group Decision Making<br> Hybrid Systems <br> Information Retrieval and Integration <br> Information Hiding <br> Intelligent Architectures <br> Intelligent Applications <br> Intelligent Buildings<br> Intelligent Control <br> Intelligent E-learning/Tutoring <br> Intelligent Image Processing <br> Intelligent Networks <br> Intelligent Transportation Systems<br> Knowledge Integration <br> Knowledge Representation <br> Knowledge-Based Systems <br> Logic in Intelligence <br> Machine Learning <br> Mobile Intelligence <br> Multicriteria Decision Making<br> Natural Language Processing <br> Optimization and Swarm Intelligence <br> Pattern Recognition <br> Probabilistic and Uncertain Reasoning <br> Rough Sets <br> Semantic Web <br> Smart Living Technology <br> Smart Sensor Networks <br> Soft Computing <br> Social Networks <br> Ubiquitous Computing<br> Web Intelligence and Interaction<br><br><br><b>Call for Special Sessions and Workshops Proposals<br></b><br>ICCCI 2017 invites proposals for Special Sessions and Workshops to be<br>held during the conference. They intend to provide researchers in focused<br>areas the opportunity to present and discuss their work, as well as to<br>offer a forum for interaction among a broader community of researchers.<br>A Special Session or Workshop will consist of a group of papers in a<br>sub-discipline of Computational Collective Intelligence related to the<br>main topics of ICCCI 2017.<br> <br>The papers will be required to meet the same standards as ICCCI 2017<br>papers and will be published in the conference proceedings, in a bound<br>volume by Springer in their Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series.<br>All the Special Sessions and Workshops will be centralized as tracks in the<br>same conference submission and reviewing system (EasyChair) as the<br>regular papers.<br> <br>Please send the Special Session and Workshop proposals with the following<br>information:<br> Title & acronym of the special session<br> Brief profiles of special session organizers<br> General description of the special session scope<br> List of topics<br> Proposed Session Program Committee (to be invited)<br><br>The format for the Special Session or Workshop proposal should follow<br>the pattern of the template available on the conference web site.<br><br>The organizers will be responsible for the advertisement and promotion of<br>the Special Sessions or Workshops and the conference including the Special<br>Sessions and Workshops webpage preparation. The management of papers<br>review will be achieved by Special Session and Workshops Committees, using<br>the Conference System (a separate EasyChair track will be provided for each<br>Special Session and Workshop). The organizers are responsible for managing<br>the review process.
