From 13th-16th September, the University of Salamanca will host the 5th edition of CEDI (Spanish Conference of Computer Science) (http://www.congresocedi.es), the most important computer conference in Spain. The Conference, which expects more than 1000 participants, brings together the best researchers, teachers and professionals whose common interest is the world of computer science.

The International Conference on Intelligent Systems (ISTA’16) will be held in The LNM Institute of Information Technology aipur, India from 21 - 24, September 2016. The Symposium, which aims to explore and contrast some aspects of Intelligent Systems and their applications by submitting new researchs, will publish all accepted papers as volume of series Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Series published by Springer.

From 1-3 June, the University of Seville will host the XIV edition of the international PAAMS conference focused on Artificial Intelligence, as well as the following associated events

On 3 and 4 June, the University of Salamanca is hosting a new edition of PAAMS (http://www.paams.net), an international congress about Artificial Intelligence, where more than 200 researchers from all around the world are participating. The Bioinformatics, Intelligent Systems and Educational Technology (BISITE) research group (http://bisite.usal.es) is in charge of the organization of this event.

The 30th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing is organized by the University of Salamanca and will take place from 13 to 17 April at Colegio Arzobispo Fonseca. This symposium is promoted by the ACM association, which is the first scientific and educational society oriented to computing, created in 1947 in the United States, and currently a referent in such environments counting with more than 34 groups of interest and established in more than 100 countries.

From 4th to 6th of June, the University of Salamanca will be the headquarters of a new edition of PAAMS (http://www.paams.net), international congress about Artificial Intelligence where more than 300 researchers from all over the world are participating. BISITE, the Bioinformatics, Intelligent computing Systems and educational Technology research group will be organizing this event.

The conference, which is now in its 12th edition, has been celebrated since more than 10 years ago in Salamanca and in it, experts in practical agent applications and multi-agent systems (system networks interacting to each other in complex actions development) get together.

From 4th to 6th of June, the University of Salamanca welcomes PAAMS: an international congress about Artificial Intelligence where Geminoid HI-4, the fourth version of the ultra-realistic robot capable of talking and showing happiness and concern expressions trough facial motions, will participate actively. The android has been created by the team leaded by Hiroshi Ishiguro, full professor at the University of Osaka and also leader of the Advanced Telecommunications Laboratory with his name in Japan.

With only four months to go, the FUSION 2014 Conference, which will be held July 7 – 10, 2014 in Salamanca, continues with the preparations required to ensure its success.

FUSION is an international event which features the participation of hundreds of experts in Computer Sciences from around the world specializing in the management and optimization of data. Each year the conference is held in a different city, and on a different continent. After being hosted in Chicago 2011, Singapore 2012, and Istanbul last year, the event returns to Europe and will be held, for the first time, in Spain.

Yves Demazeau, French researcher at the LIG Computer Science Laboratory in Grenoble and External Professor at the University of Southern Denmark, has visited Salamanca to work with the BISITE research team. Having edited 22 books or proceedings and authored or co-authored 143 scientific publications, he is known worldwide as one of the fathers of multiagent systems, which have been the focus of his research for the last 23 years.

72 security specialists from all over the world participated in a seminar on radar technology held at the University of Salamanca. The meeting was organized by the BISITE group in collaboration with the Ministry of Defense and forms part of an international program under S&TO (a subsidiary body of NATO in charge of R&D) to promote the exchange of information and the development of collaborative projects in the area of security.
