2009 World Congress on Computer Science and Information Engineering
(CSIE 2009)

March 31 - April 2, 2009
Los Angeles/Anaheim, USA

http://world-research-institutes.org/conferences/CSIE/2009

CALL FOR PAPERS/ABSTRACTS, INVITED SESSIONS & EXPO

The Los Angeles/Anaheim area is known for its many renowned
attractions, such as Disneyland, Universal Studios and the
Hollywood Walk of Fame. Very few cities in the world offer
as much entertainment, excitement and diversity as Los
Angeles/Anaheim does.

CSIE 2009 conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE
Computer Society and all papers in the proceedings will be
included in IEEE Xplore.

CSIE 2009 intends to be a global forum for researchers and
engineers to present and discuss recent advances and new
techniques in computer science and information engineering.
CSIE 2009 consists of the following Technical Symposiums:

 * Computer Applications Symposium
 * Communications & Mobile Computing Symposium
 * Computer Design & VLSI Symposium
 * Data Mining & Data Engineering Symposium
 * Intelligent Systems Symposium
 * Multimedia & Signal Processing Symposium
 * Software Engineering Symposium

Invited sessions offer focused discussions on specialized topics.
A prospective invited session organizer should send a proposal,
including a session title, a short synopsis, bio-sketch of the
organizer with a publication list, to the appropriate Symposium
Chair (visit the conference website for more details).

In addition to research papers, CSIE 2009 also seeks exhibitions
of modern products and equipment for computer science and
information engineering.

Keynote Speakers:

Bir Bhanu, IEEE Fellow, University of California at Riverside
Lixia Zhang, ACM & IEEE Fellow, University of California at Los Angeles

Important Dates (Extended):

Paper/Abstract Submission Deadline: October 21, 2008
Review Notification: December 7, 2008
Final Papers and Author Registration Deadline: January 7, 2009

Organizing Committee:

Now taking applications for 2009-2010 academic year

*MA in Cognitive Linguistics*

The Cognitive Science Department at Case is unique in the nation for its
focus on higher order cognition as it relates to culture, creativity, and
design. The MA program in Cognitive Linguistics, one of two in the world and
the only one in the United States, offers students from various backgrounds
the opportunity to pursue research interests in these domains as they are
manifested in grammar, conceptualization, discourse, and thought.

Cognitive linguistics, which has arisen during the last thirty years, is a
central component of cognitive science and a widely recognized and practiced
area of research which interacts with many other disciplines: computer
science, cognitive neuroscience, anthropology, psychology, and semiotics.
Cognitive linguistics views language as an aspect of cognition and
inseparable as a cognitive system from conceptual structure; it approaches
language as a behavior integrated with other higher-order human behaviors
such as gesture, signing, joint attention, collective intention, and social
interaction.

The M.A. in Cognitive Linguistics at Case Western Reserve University is
designed to be distinctive in its methodology and its pedagogy. Above all,
it will integrate across disciplines traditionally partitioned. The
tailor-made program of study is from the principal instruments of
instruction: a year-long course in Theory, a coordinate yearlong Workshop,
several elective topics courses, and a substantial thesis. The Theory,
Workshop, Electives, and Thesis courses will provide instruction in the
principal areas needed for the cognitive scientific study of language. This
Case M.A. program follows a model according to which learning is combined
with doing research, on the view that much of what one learns, and learns
best, is actually acquired not in the abstract but in attempts at
application.

A master's degree in Cognitive Linguistics can be the basis for many
different kinds of academic and non-academic careers. The demand for those
with a formation in cognitive science runs across industry, government, and
educational and cultural institutions. Fields that show a growing interest
in job candidates with expertise in cognitive studies include the technology
sector, particularly in natural language processing and human interface
design; education and related institutions, such as museums; human factors
engineering; organizational behavior in management; marketing; and politics.
