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>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<br></b><br>ICCCI 2017 invites proposals for Special Sessions 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 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 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 proposals with the following 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 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 and the conference including the Special<br>Sessions webpage preparation. The management of papers<br>review will be achieved by Special Session Committees, using<br>the Conference System (a separate EasyChair track will be provided for each<br>Special Session). The organizers are responsible for managing<br>the review process. All the reviews should be submitted through EasyChair.<br>Each paper should obtain at least two reviews.<br> <br>For Special Sessions issues please contact:<br>Bogdan Trawinski<br>Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland<br>bogdan.trawinski@pwr.edu.pl<br><br><br><b>Important Dates<br></b><br>· Special Session proposals: March 29, 2017 (*** firm ***)<br>· Special Session Acceptance: March 31, 2017<br>· Conference Dates: September 27-29, 2017<br><br><br><b>Organization</b><br><br><u>Honorary Chairs<br></u>· Costas Christophides, Rector of University of Cyprus, Cyprus<br>· Pierre Lévy, University of Ottawa, Canada<br>· Cezary Madryas, Rector of Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland<br><br><u>General Chairs<br></u>· Ngoc Thanh Nguyen, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland<br>· George A.
