INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
ON
BRAIN-INSPIRED COMPUTING
Computational models, algorithms and applications
Cetraro –
The international workshop on Brain-inspired
Computing aims to bring together researchers involved in various aspects of
this field of research: computational modelling of brain organization, computer
algorithms, practical applications, implementations on general purpose
computers and special purpose computing devices, as well as its relation to
pattern recognition, machine learning, artificial intelligence, high
performance computing and visualisation.
There will be three days of lectures (July 6, 7
and 8) and two days with a panel session, group of interest meetings and free
informal discussions (July 9 and 10). The lectures are meant to provide an
overview of the state of the art and seeds for the subsequent discussions. The
discussions will be conducted in small dynamically changing groups. They aim at
facilitating new ideas, collaborations and plans, building of new research
networks, producing a comprehensive list of groups and individual researchers
working in this area, and finding points of encounter with the EU flagship, the
Human Brain Project.
