13th International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems

Mar 1, 2008 - Mar 5, 2008,
Seattle, Washington United States

ASPLOS is a multi-disciplinary conference for research that spans the boundaries of hardware, computer architecture, compilers, languages, operating systems, networking, and applications. ASPLOS provides a high quality forum for scientists and engineers to present their latest research findings in these rapidly changing fields. It has captured some of the major computer systems innovations of the past two decades (e.g., RISC and VLIW processors, small and large-scale multiprocessors, clusters and networks-of-workstations, optimizing compilers, RAID, and network-storage system designs).

This conference occurs at a time when computer architecture is facing great challenges, due both to the end of single-processor performance scaling and to new demands imposed by mobile and gigascale computing. Multi-disciplinary research is increasingly important as boundaries between hardware/software and local/network computing blur, as the form and capabilities of computing devices becomes ever more varied, and as users and applications continue to expand. In addition to the main program, this upcoming ASPLOS will offer several tutorials and workshops on a variety of focus areas.

The 1st Conference on Artificial General Intelligence

Mar 1, 2008 - Mar 3, 2008,
University of Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee United States

The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) was initially directly aimed at the construction of “thinking machines” – that is, computer systems with human-like general intelligence. But this task proved very difficult, and so as steps in this direction, AI researchers focused on producing AI systems displaying intelligence regarding specific tasks in relatively narrow domains. In recent years, however, the situation has been changing. More and more researchers have recognized the necessity – and feasibility – of returning to the original goals of the field. Increasingly, there is a call for a transition from the current focus on highly specialized “narrow AI” problem solving systems, back to confronting the more difficult issues of “human level intelligence” and more broadly “artificial general intelligence (AGI).”

Encouraged by the recent success of several smaller-scale AGI-related meetings, we have taken the initiative to facilitate the very first international conference on AGI. The AGI-08 conference will give AGI researchers the opportunity for presenting research results and exchanging ideas on topics of common interest. During the conference, we will also discuss the possibility of creating a new organization to promote and coordinate AGI research.

The conference is explicitly open to all the various techniques used in seeking to realize general intelligence – for instance, symbolic, connectionist, evolutionary, robotic, mathematical, or integrative approaches (... or new approaches that the conference organizers have never heard of!). We are particularly interested in papers describing concrete, reasonably well-fleshed-out AGI projects – meaning, research projects that

* are based on a coherent theory about "intelligence" as a whole
* involve a concrete engineering plan oriented toward implementing the relevant conception of general intelligence in a computer system
* have already produced some concrete results, either practical or theoretical

Mexico Tourism, Travel & Real Estate Expo

International Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Caribbean

Mar 1, 2008 - Mar 1, 2008,
University of the West Indies at St. Augustine, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago

The aim of the conference is to critically examine the current roles of surveying, land economy, and property valuation in the effective and efficient management of the natural disaster risk reduction strategies of the Caribbean. The conference would seek best practices, identify issues, and propose the roadmap towards the improvement and effective use of surveying tools and knowledge in the Caribbean. The Conference seeks papers that focus on practices and ideas that would lead to improving surveying practices to the extend that it can effectively support disaster risk reduction in the Caribbean

Putting Psychometric Tests to Work Seminar

Mar 1, 2008 - Mar 1, 2008,
Raffles Education Campus, Seminar Room 4, Singapore City, Singapore

A FREE seminar compliments of PsyAsia International and Raffles School of Psychology

A professional seminar for human resource professionals, trainers, coaches, counselors and anybody using or considering using psychometric tests.

Psychometric tests are scientific tools that can be applied in various contexts for different purposes. Due to their proven effectiveness, they are becoming more and more popular among organisations nowadays, especially for those which are looking for more reliable and objective selection tools in order to preserve or even enhance their competitive advantage in their most valuable resources, their people. There are a large number of tests and testing systems available in the market but unfortunately their quality varies. Some marketeers who lack understanding of the science behind these tests are trying to take advantage of this trend. In such cases, unqualified test developers publish tests which are not scientifically tested and which certainly cannot achieve what they are supposed to be doing. Moreover, as psychometrics are relatively new to the Asian public, many people, including professionals who want to or are even currently using psychometric tests do not have adequate knowledge to choose proper tests or use them correctly. Therefore cautions have to be taken when choosing as well as implementing psychometric tests in order to gain the real benefits of using them. Actually there are at least three important considerations in putting the psychometric tests in place; the first one is, ‘what makes a test a good one?’ the second one is, ‘what test should be used?’ and finally ‘how to implement a test properly?’

This programme brings together both nationally and internationally renowned speakers who will present the latest evidence related to their subject matter in a very
practical way. They will also be available to answer specific questions from practitioners in the audience, the answers to which will support the practitioners’ own knowledge base.

There will be a specialist exhibition accompanying the conference with displays and information to enable practitioners to further enhance their knowledge of the
latest wound dressing products and advances in wound care.
