Trusted Autonomy 2015 Workshop

Trust, Autonomy and Computational Intelligence Open Challenges Workshop

TACIOC 2015

8:30-17:30, Friday, 6th of November, 2015, UNSW-Canberra

About

The Trust, Autonomy and Computational Intelligence Open Challenges Workshop (TACIOC) brings together a number of internationally recognized scientists to discuss the contribution that the field of Computational Intelligence can make to the area of Trusted Autonomy. The workshop will cover discussions on Trust, Human Machine Interfaces, Machine Learning, and Optimisation as some key technological building blocks towards achieving a Trusted Autonomous system. At the conclusion of TACIOC, the aim is to define interesting problems that can benefit from bringing together complementary scientific disciplines to make substantial and interesting breakthrough beneficial scientific discoveries to our society.
