The IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) is published monthly. Its Editorial Board strives to publish papers that present important research results within PAMI's scope. These include statistical and structural pattern recognition; image analysis; computational models of vision; computer vision systems; enhancement, restoration, segmentation, feature extraction, shape and texture analysis; applications of pattern analysis in medicine, industry, government, and the arts and sciences; artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, logical and probabilistic inference, learning, speech recognition, character and text recognition, syntactic and semantic processing, understanding natural language, expert systems, and specialized architectures for such processing.quential-to-parallel forms.

Intelligent Informatics (TCCI)

The Technical Committee on Intelligent Informatics (TCII) deals with tools and systems using biologically and linguistically motivated computational paradigms such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary optimization, rough sets, data mining, Web intelligence, intelligent agent technology, parallel and distributed information processing, and virtual reality.

Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TCPAMI)
Home Page
The TC on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TCPAMI) is concerned with pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, expert systems, natural language understanding, image processing, and computer vision. Its interests include methodology, applications, systems organization, and technology. The TC sponsors the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference and the Artificial Intelligence Applications Conference, as well as the Workshop on Computer Architecture for Pattern and Machine Intelligence, the Conference on Applied Imagery Pattern recognition, and the Workshop on Computer Vision.

Autonomous and Autonomic Systems (TFAAS) (task force)
The Task Force on Autonomous and Autonomic Systems (TFAAS), was established to address research issues concerned with creating self-directing and self-managing systems (selfware or self-* properties). The overarching vision of AAS is the creation of self-directing and self managing systems in accordance with high-level guidance from humans to address today's concerns of complexity and total cost of ownership while meeting tomorrow's needs for pervasive and ubiquitous computation and communication.

The TFAAS overlaps to some degree with many others providing opportunities for collaboration to meet the grand challenges, but focuses on specifically addressing architectures, frameworks, paradigms, components, tools, environments, languages, applications and lessons for Autonomous and Autonomic Computing and Communications (Systems).

Members of the TFAAS come from industry, academia, and government, representing a whole range of research areas and geographical locations. The TF will be sponsoring international conferences and workshops in the area.

IEEE Intelligent Systems, a bimonthly publication of the IEEE Computer Society, covers new tools, techniques, concepts, and current research and development activities in intelligent systems. The magazine serves software engineers, systems designers, information managers, knowledge engineers, and professionals in finance, manufacturing, medicine, law, and geophysical sciences.
