Cartoline da Cefalu’

Giornata di turismo quella passata oggi per le vie di Cefalu’, dove sono approdato ieri notte con un po’ di colleghi in attesa di partecipare al workshop del VALUE project in programma per domani e mercoledi’. Come alloggio ci hanno sistemati al Cefalu’ Sea Palace, un bel 4-stelle sul lungomare della citta’, a pochi passi dal centro storico. Nel post di oggi mi limito a condividere con voi un po’ di foto.

Si parte innanzitutto dall’hotel.

Poi un po’ di panoramiche del mare.

Il meraviglioso Duomo di Cefalu’ (con anche ritratto un adiacente palazzo ed un particolare del chiostro).

Infine d’obbligo una visita al Museo Mandralisca, collezione privata dell’omonimo barone di Cefalu’ passato a miglior vita alla vigilia dell’unita’ d’Italia. Durante la mia incursione sono riuscito a scattare furtivamente una foto (senza flash, non preoccupatevi) al vaso greco raffigurante il “venditore di tonno”, uno dei pezzi pregiati della raccolta.

Il pronto intervento della guardia (che aveva vita facile a controllare la situazione, essendo il sottoscritto l’unico visitatore del museo) a ricordarmi che non era possibile scattare foto mi ha impedito di ritrarre altri oggetti. Ivi incluso lo splendido Antonello Da Messina ospitato in una sala apposita e che ripropongo qui di seguito con un’immagine rintracciata sul web.

Questo e’ quanto. La parentesi turistica si chiude qui. D’ora in poi’ saranno scienza e cibo a farla da padrone. Con presumibilmente un ruolo predominante giocato dal secondo.

NeuroArts Conference

Conferenza interessante quella in programma per i prossimi 10 ed 11 febbraio in quel di Plymouth. Si tratta di NeuroArts, che come recita il comunicato stampa di presentazione: Recent advances in the discipline of Neuroscience are shaping our understanding of human consciousness. Many implications of this research have influenced wider artistic and philosophical fields, leading to the development of a new subject landscape, which might be called ‘NeuroArts’“.

Tra gli speakers (linkati i plymouthiani) troviamo: Roy Ascott, Paul Broks, Stephen Coombes, Jane Grant, Andy Miah, John Matthias, Arthur I Miller, Eduardo Miranda, Slawomir Nasuto, Gordana Novakovic, Steve Potter, Magnus Richardson, Anders Sandberg, Christian Sumner and Frédéric Voisin.

Per quanto il sottoscritto sia tutto meno che un artista, penso che per chi si trovasse nei paraggi una visita potrebbe risultare piacevole.

AIME 2011: 13th Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Prendo spunto per questo post da un avviso che mi e’ stato girato per essere pubblicato sul canale Facebook di AI*IA. Dal 2 al 6 luglio prossimi avra’ luogo AIME 2011, tredicesima edizione della conferenza su Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. La location sara’ questa volta la suggestiva Bled in Slovenia. Chiunque volesse contribuire attivamente sappia che e’ appena stata pubblicata la call for papers ufficiale, che linko e copio/incollo qui nel seguito.

The European Society for Artificial Intelligence in MEdicine (AIME), was established in 1986 with two main goals:

  1. to foster fundamental and applied research in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to medical care and medical research, and
  2. to provide a forum for reporting significant results achieved at biennial conferences.

A major activity of this society has been a series of international conferences, from Marseille (FR) in 1987 to Verona (IT) in 2009, held biennially over the last 22 years.

The AIME’2011 conference will be a unique opportunity to present and improve the international state of the art of AI in Medicine from perspectives of theory, methodology, and application. For this purpose, AIME’2011 will include invited lectures, full and short papers, tutorials, workshops, and a doctoral consortium. The main conference will include a session dedicated to application of AI methods in the day-to-day practice of health care.

The conference will be held in Bled, Slovenia.

That’s all folks

Et voila. Anche il secondo talk, che ho tenuto oggi pomeriggio, e’ andato. Non brillante come quello della scorsa domenica, ma direi comunque piu’ che dignitoso.

An evolutionary robotics 3D model for autonomous MAVs navigation, target tracking and group coordination (cover page of the presentation held by Fabio Ruini in Barcelona, for WCCI 2010)

La cosa importante e’ che con questo ulteriore sforzo si chiude ufficialmente la mia esperienza con WCCI 2010 e posso ora iniziare a concentrarmi sugli appuntamenti, ancora piu’ importanti, che mi aspettano per la settimana prossima. L’aereo che mi riportera’ a Losanna e’ in programma per sabato mattina (ad un orario improponibile). Il tempo di fare un paio di lavatrici e riorganizzarsi un attimo, che lunedi’ (ammesso di trovare un volo, che devo decidermi a cercare) si partira’ alla volta di Noordwijk per il gia’ citato colloquio all’ESA che avevo menzionato qualche post fa. C’e’ da preparare una bella presentazione e ragionare in maniera attenta sulla proposta di progetto che mostrero’ una volta la’. Devo ammettere che, data l’importanza del colloquio, inizia a salire gia’ da adesso un po’ di tensione. C’e’ comunque qualche giorno di tempo per cercare di preparare tutto nel migliore dei modi.

Chiudo il post segnalandovi lo splendido posto dove siamo stati a cena questa sera. Trattasi del ristorante 7 Portes, locale discretamente di classe e non troppo a buon prezzo, ma dove servono la paella piu’ deliziosa che abbia mai assaggiato in vita mia. Se passate da Barcelona non avete scuse per non fermarvi a mangiare li’.
