The ECCAI General Assembly 2011 will take place during International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2011) at 20.00 - 21.00 on July 19th.

PSSI is delighted to announce that Prof. Stan Matwin has been selected by the ECCAI General Assembly as the new ECCAI Fellow. The ECCAI selection committee acknowledged the excellence of his scientific research.

We would like to emphasize Professor Matwin’s involvement in AI in Poland. He has been a member of the Polish Artificial Intelligence Society from the very beginning. He is also a member of the Scientific Committee of the society, created in 2009, almost from its beginning.

Professor Matwin participates regularly in the AI research in the Institute for Computer Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, where he holds a research position, in the Institute of Computer Science of the University of Warsaw, in the Institute of Computer Science of the Warsaw Technical University, in the Institute for Decision Analysis and Support of the Warsaw School of Economics, and in the Institute of Computer Science of the Poznan Technical University.

Congratulations!

The Polish Association of Artificial Intelligence Board Report 2010 is available at the Documents page (in polish only, access only for PSSI members).

We are pleased to announce that this year ICCCI 2011 has been selected by the Polish AI Society (Polskie Stowarzyszenie Sztucznej Inteligencji – PSSI) as the official PSSI conference for 2011. PSSI warmly invites all its members to submit papers to the conference (deadline: 31.03.2011). Each PSSI member has a 10% discount on conference fee. Moreover, PSSI especially invites undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students to submit their papers. We hope to meet you in Gdynia!

The ICCCI 2011 (International Conference on Computational Collective Intelligence) will be held on 21–23.09.2011 in Gdynia.

A formula of PSSI conference has been worked out.

Because there are very good national scientific conferences on Artificial Intelligence, PSSI Board suggested not to organize a new conference. Instead of this, each year PSSI will select (after the Scientific Committee acceptance) one of the existing conferences, which in a given year will be the official PSSI conference. The formula was approved by the Scientific Committee of the Association.

PSSI has signed a commission contract with the bookkeeper for keeping accounts of the Association.

Wishing you happiness at Christmas time, and prosperity throughout the new year 2011, personal and scientific fulfillment, especially in the field of Artificial Intelligence

May Peace Hope and Love be with you Today Tomorrow and Always Merry Christmas!

Christmas cards with small gifts have been sent to all the PSSI members.
