Artificial Intelligence



Dear Colleague,



(Due to some technical problem we apologise if you received the following
message more than once).



We are pleased to advise that we will organise a special track on Quantum
Computing and Artificial Intelligence collocated with the Australasian
Database Conference 2017,25-28 September, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.



The past year of 2016 has witnessed the remarkably increasing research
interests on the interplay between quantum computation and artificial
intelligence, two areas that are embracing rapid exciting advancements
respectively. The exchange of ideas, methods, and techniques between the
two corresponding communities will greatly enrich the scope of the two
research areas, help to build beneficial connections, and provide
fundamentally innovative ideas to solve core problems in both areas. This
special track on Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence is organised
with the aim to foster collaborations between researchers from both fields
and to promote the research on this exciting new direction.



The special track will have a half-day format and includes both invited and
contributed talks. It will be part of the 28th Australasian Database
Conference 2017 (ADC 2017), to be held in Brisbane, Australia in September.
The Australasian Database Conference series is an annual summit for
researchers and practitioners working on database systems, data-driven
applications and data analytics in Australia, New Zealand and worldwide. As
part of the conference, there will be PhD student tutorials and brilliant
talks given by invited keynote speakers. All attendees should register the
main conference. See more information about ADC 2017 at
http://adc-conferences.org.au/adc2017.



Topics of interest include but are not limited to:



• Quantum algorithms for classical problems in machine learning and
optimization

• Quantum advantages in the processing of big data systems and data
analytics

• Quantum programming and verification tools

• Applications of classical learning algorithms to quantum computation

• The connection between neural networks and condensed matter physics

• Security and privacy issues against quantum attacks in big data systems

• Learning of quantum objects such as quantum states and quantum operations



Important Dates:



Research Papers



• Abstract Deadline: May 19, 2017

• Full Paper Deadline: May 26, 2017

*Special Note: Please contact Track chairs if you intend to submit a paper
but require an extension of deadlines.*



Submission methods:

Research papers should be submitted as regular papers to ADC (EasyChair
URL:  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=adc2017), with a special note
on the *Special Track on Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence*.

• Submitted papers must be original contributions and cannot be under
review for any other forum.

• The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings,
which will form a volume in the Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series.

• All submitted papers must be in English and conform to the formatting
instructions for the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) including
references and figures.

• Submitted files must be in PDF, where the following page limits apply:
research paper (12 pages), extended abstract for invited speeches (4 pages).

• The format style files are available at LNCS Authors Instructions Page.

For invited speeches, an extended abstract (4 pages) with a short biography
should be sent to the special track chairs.



Thank you, and look forward to meeting you in Brisbane in September!



Best Regards,



Track Chairs:
