S10. Reasoning and Cooperating in Automatic Perceptual Systems

Chairperson: Miguel Angel Patricio Co-Chairs: Luis Usero  and Angel Arroyo


Making systems artificially intelligent expands their scope of applicability in manufacturing industry, defense, investment, banking, biosciences, and in the home, by permitting reasoned reactions to environmental variations and collaborative interactions with other systems. The aim of this session is to explore the use of reasoning and cooperating techniques to improve perception systems. This approach enables to combine streams of sensory data and reasoning and cooperative models to produce an adaptive, composite impression of surroundings in near real-time. Machine perception systems represent a big challenge, as they combine the vantages of a machine and the human perception capability and hence are able to perform even complex tasks autonomously.

This special session is intended to create an atmosphere of exchange of ideas, providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of the key topics related to reasoning and cooperative models applied to automatic perception systems. Presentation topics in this session are:
