Artificial Intelligence research has made certain substantial progress in some special areas so far. However, the deeper understandings on the essence of intelligence are far from sufficient and, therefore, many state-of-the-art intelligent systems are still not able to compete with human intelligence. To advance the research in artificial intelligence, it is necessary to investigate intelligence, both artificial and natural, in an interdisciplinary context. The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers from brain science, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence to explore the essence of intelligence and the related technologies. The conference provides a platform for discussing some of the key issues thatare related to intelligence science.
 

The main theme of ICIS2017 is: Intelligence Science, Information and Noetic Science
 

Organized by Shanghai Maritime University and Shanghai Society for Noetic Science , supported by Shanghai Association for Science and Technology(SAST),co-organized by  Shanghai Association for Artificial Intelligence (SAAI), Shanghai logic Association(SLA), Shanghai Chapter Under IEEE and Science and Technology on Information System Engineering Laboratory, National University of Defense Technology. Sponsored by Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAAI) and China Chapter under International Society for Information Studies.
