Col. Bryan Goda, a co-chair of the conference, has informed me that he has secured a member of the IBM Research team who created the Watson; computer (famous for its appearance on Jeopardy) to be the keynote speaker at the conference. If you were on the fence about submitting a paper for the conference, I hope this will be a factor in your deciding to do so.
The papers are due in a little over a month so I hope your contributions are coming along. The paper submission system should be up in a week or so.
