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 (June 12,
13 and 14) and two days with a panel session, group of interest meetings and
free informal discussions (June 15 and 16). 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.

Workshop venue,
address and logistics
The workshop will be held at the Grand Hotel San Michele, a charming Hotel on the Tyrrhenian coast of
The Hotel is very close
to a seaside fisherman village named Cetraro, near
Information as well as
accommodation, local transportation and other local arrangements will be handled
by the workshop Secretariat supervised by:

from the main building and the congress center.
The “Maisonnettes”
can accommodate one/two/three/four persons.
This type of accommodation
is particularly suitable for small groups or families.
The price is 110 Euro for single
occupancy and 90 Euro for multiple occupancy.
The price is per person, per day, covering both accommodation and full board (breakfast, lunch, dinner).
The price per person in
a double room (main Hotel building) or in a multiple occupancy (“Maisonnettes”) refers to workshop participants.
The case of special
arrangements (e.g. children accommodation, suite accommodation, etc.) is
handled by the Workshop Secretariat.
Hotel reservations will be managed by the Workshop Secretariat
(lugran@unical.it)
A pick up service will be provided, free of
charge, to those who will fill in the travel form available on the Registration
