AICAS 2024

Call for Special Session Proposals

The IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Circuits and Systems (AICAS) 2024 organizing committee cordially invites proposals for special sessions. AICAS 2024 will be organized in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, April 22-25, 2024. Special sessions are integral to the conference's exploration of cutting-edge topics in the field of Artificial Intelligence Circuits and Systems. We seek engaging sessions that delve into specific or cross- cutting areas, encompassing algorithms, systems, microarchitectures, circuits, and technologies, which address pressing AI challenges within CAS as well as emerging AI approaches for CAS.

Proposal Guidelines - Special sessions should feature between four to six speakers, in addition to an introductory presentation by the organizers. To submit a proposal, kindly provide the following details:

• Title and Abstract of the Special Session: A clear and concise title along with an abstract describing the proposed session's focus.
• Alignment with the theme (Circuits and Systems for Neuro-Inspired Cognitive and Learning Abilities) and general topics of interest for AICAS (which include but are not limited to: Circuits and systems for AI; AI for circuits and systems; Deep learning/machine learning/AI algorithms; Tools/platforms for AI; Architecture for AI computing; Hardware/software co-design and design automation for AI systems; AI for electronic design automation; AI for power electronics and energy conservation; Advanced neural network design; Neuromorphic circuits, processors, and systems and their applications; Emerging applications: Internet-of- things, healthcare, smart factories, environment; Emerging devices and materials for AI; Computer vision algorithms and architectures; Recommender systems, language/text processing; Autonomous/unmanned vehicles and drones; Robotics and automation; Metaverse and AR/VR; Deep learning/machine learning for future wireless communications).
• Organizers: Names, affiliations, and contact information of the session organizers.
• Proposed Talks: A list of all intended talks, their respective speakers, and brief speaker biographies. Please also list any co-authors involved.
• Contact Information: Contact details of the corresponding authors.
• Abstracts: A brief abstract for each presentation within the session.

Evaluation Criteria - Special session proposals will be evaluated based on several key factors:

• Timeliness: The relevance and timeliness of the proposed topic in the CAS and AI domains.
• Organizer and Speaker Quality: The track record and expertise of the session organizers and speakers.
• Session Coherence: The degree to which the proposed talks align and form a coherent session.
• Alignment with the general Theme and topics of the conference: The expected contribution of the session to the overall technical program of the AICAS 2024 conference.

We look forward to receiving your proposals for timely and highly compelling special sessions at AICAS 2024 that contribute to advancing the fusion of AI and CAS, shaping the future of intelligent systems.
