About CONF-CIAP 2024

The 3rd International Conference on Computing Innovation and Applied Physics (CONF-CIAP 2024) is a leading conference on computing innovation, mathematics and applied mathematics, theoretical physics, applied physics. University of Portsmouth, Illinois Institute of Technology, Saint Leo University, University of Strathclyde and Al Ain University are co-organizers of CONF-CIAP 2024. CONF-CIAP 2024 is open to international participants. It provides an excellent opportunity for scholars interested in mathematics, physics, and computing innovation to share their findings and achievements, thus promoting communication and cooperation. This conference is supported by faculty members from Northumbria University, University of Florida, University of Southern California and University of St-Andrews.

To break the barriers of time and space and to provide seamless communication opportunities for worldwide scholars, CONF-CIAP 2024 will be organized distributedly with dispersed venues. Transnational academic workshops are the decentralized co-organisers of CONF-CIAP 2024 and will be held at University of Portsmouth (Portsmouth, UK), Illinois Institute of Technology (Chicago, USA), Saint Leo University (Saint Leo, USA), University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, UK) and Al Ain University (Abu Dhabi, UAE). Besides these workshops, CONF-CIAP 2024 is a hybrid conference, establishing an online session and welcoming participants from all countries and regions to join whenever and wherever possible.

The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to highlight the importance of computing innovation, mathematics and applied mathematics, theoretical physics, applied physics, as well as establish new collaborations in these areas. The conference looks for significant contributions to mathematics, physics, and computing innovation in theoretical and practical aspects.

History

The Second International Conference on Computing Innovation and Applied Physics (CONF-CIAP 2023) was held online on 25 March. This conference was planned to be held at Stanford but finally moved online due to the pandemic. The accepted papers will be published in Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPCS) (Print ISSN 1742-6588) or Theoretical and Natural Science (TNS) (Print ISSN 2753-8818). Professor Michael Harre from The University of Sydney, Professor Bismark Singh from University of Southampton, Professor Emanuel Indrei from Purdue Universityand other remarkable scholars, as the speakers of the conference, have given keynote speeches on related topics of mathematics, physics, and computer science. Also our authors were invited to deliver an oral presentation at the virtual conference. Questions from the audience were collected and answered by the presenters. This conference provided the participant good opportunities to exchange ideas and build networks, and it will lead to the further collaborations between both universities and other societies.

Previous Speakers

Michael Harre, Ph.D.

Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Engineering, The University of Sydney

Dr. Harre's research combines the psychology of decision theory with artificial intelligence to understand complex social dynamics. Currently he's working on how to replicate a 'theory of mind' for AI and how AI communities co-create knowledge and can cooperate with humans. More generally Dr. Harre is interested in the psychology of AI: how can we use what we know of the mesoscopic scale of human cognition to advance our understanding of machine intelligence, i.e. beyond what is being done at the micro-scale of modelling neurons. He also has extensive experience in agent based modelling, economics, big data analytics, and game non-linear dynamics.

Title of Speech: Game Theory and the Free Energy Principle for Artificial Intelligence

Achintya Haldar, Ph.D.

Professor Emeritus, College of Engineering, University of Arizona

Dr. Achintya Haldar is active in the related areas of this presentation for over four decades and has published extensively. He taught at Illinois Institute of Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology, and now at the University of Arizona. He was a Guest Professor at the University of Tokyo, Visiting Professor at the IISc -Bangalore, IIT - Kanpur, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic, Honorary Distinguished Visiting Professor at BESU. He also worked Engineers India Ltd, New Delhi and Bechtel Power Corp, Los Angeles. Dr. Haldar has published over 640 technical articles (Google Scholar), including 12 books (edited included), and 38 book chapters. Dr. Haldar is a Distinguished Member of ASCE and a Fellow of SEI. He also received Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Reliability and Safety and an Honorable Diploma from the Czech Society for Mechanics. He received the highest teaching award from the University of Arizona and inducted in to Teaching Excellence Award Wall, Georgia Tech.
