AAAI 2005 Fall Symposium
AAAI 2005 Fall Symposium
From Reactive to Anticipatory Cognitive Embodied Systems
November 3-6, 2005 , Hyatt Crystal City Arlington , Virginia
Do cognitive systems need anticipatory capabilities to successfully cope with a dynamic environment? How deep is the relation between cognition, action and anticipation? How much explicit such anticipatory representations are? What is the role of anticipation in artificial, human and animal cognitive systems?
The fall symposium will face these great challenges by bringing together top scientists from Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Psychology, AI and Robotics. The pervasiveness of anticipation in cognitive systems is in fact acknowledged by many diverse disciplines but still there is a need for a unified approach to the subject.
