Third International Quantum Interaction Symposium (QI-2009) Call for Papers

March 25 - 27, 2009
DFKI Saarbruecken, Germany

Aims and Scope:
Quantum modeling (QM) based on quantum mechanics is being applied todomains such as artificial intelligence, human language, cognition,information retrieval, biology, political science, economics,organizations, and social interaction. The Third International QuantumInteraction Symposium (QI-2009) will bring together researchersinterested in advancing and applying the methods and structures of QM tothese and other domains outside of quantum physics:

  • Advancement of theory and experimentation for applying quantummechanics to non-quantum domains.
  • Use of quantum algorithms to address, or to more efficiently solve, problems in non-quantum domains (including contrasts between classical vs. quantum methods).
  • Practical applications to quantum domains, such as implementation of AI, or Information Retrieval (IR) techniques, on one or multiple networked quantum computers.

The symposium will present research dealing with the use of conceptstaken from the general body of research in QM on the physical,epistemological, mathematical or philosophical levels applied tomodeling and understanding of phenomena and solving problems infollowing areas:

  • Quantum computing and communication (QCC).
  • Language or Linguistics.
  • AI (Logic, planning, agents and multi-agent systems).
  • Cognition, Brain (memory, cognitive processes, neural networks,consciousness).
  • Information Processing and Retrieval.
  • Biological or Complex Systems.
  • Political, Cultural, Psychological or Social Sciences.
  • Finances and Business (mergers, corporate cultures, decision-making).
  • Others

Submission:
Potential participants are invited to submit either a FULL paper (up toEIGHT pages), or a POSITION paper (up to FOUR pages). Each submissionwill be judged by at least two referees on technical merit and itspotential to provoke active discussions. The proceedings will bepublished by Springer Verlag as a volume of the Lecture Notes inComputer Science (LNCS) series. For preparation of (camera-ready) papersto be submitted to the workshop please follow the instructions forauthors available at the Springer LNCS Web page. All papers must bewritten in English. Submission of papers is in PDF format only.
