Associations, Federations and Special Interest Groups

Aware of the importance of international cooperation for the advancement of science, INSTICC works closely together with several other national and international associations and is proud to welcome them as partners in its activities or to arrange initiatives in cooperation with them.

While several forms of partnership are welcome, INSTICC places special value in "Technical Co-Sponsorships", by means of which both associations support each other from a scientific perspective for their mutual benefit. Additionally, in this case, members of partner organizations benefit from the same registration conditions as INSTICC members.

Current Institutional Partners:

International Neural Network Society

The International Neural Network Society (INNS) is the premiere organization for individuals interested in a theoretical and computational understanding of the brain and applying that knowledge to develop new and more effective forms of machine intelligence. INNS was formed in 1987 by the leading scientists in the neural network field.

International Federation of Automatic Control

The International Federation of Automatic Control, founded in September 1957, is a multinational federation of National Member Organizations (NMOs), each one representing the engineering and scientific societies concerned with automatic control in its own country. The aims of the Federation are to promote the science and technology of control in the broadest sense in all systems, whether, for example, engineering, physical, biological, social or economic, in both theory and application. IFAC is also concerned with the impact of control technology on society.

World Federation on Soft Computing

World Conference on Soft Computing (WSC) is an online conference hosted on the internet organized by multiple universities across the world. The conferences have established a new way of publishing technical papers and discuss about papers in greater detail.
WSC Conferences have reached a critical mass and have received international recognition from technical organizations like IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, IEEE Systems, Man & Cybernetics Society and NAFIPS. Several industrial sponsors have supported the series of conference through technical contribution and financial assistance.
The aim of the Federation would be to promote 'Soft Computing' across the world. The Federation will promote all other organizations in this area and will evangelize the concept of 'virtual discussion and publishing'.

Workflow Management Coalition

Founded in 1993, the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) is a global organization of adopters, developers, consultants, analysts, as well as university and research groups engaged in workflow and BPM. The WfMC creates and contributes to process related standards, educates the market on related issues, and is the only standards organization that concentrates purely on process. The WfMC created Wf-XML and XPDL, the leading process definition language used today in over 80 known solutions to store and exchange process models. XPDL is a process design format for storing the visual diagram and all design time attributes.

Spanish Association of Artificial Intelligence

The Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence (AEPIA) was created in 1983 to promote and encourage the development of Artificial Intelligence both in Spain and in the Ibero-American. AEPIA is a non-profit association formed by numerary and institutional partners. He is a member of ECCAI (European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence), founding member of the Spanish Confederation of Scientific Associations (COSCE) and a founding member of IBERAMIA. AEPIA organizes biennially the Spanish Conference of the Association together with the Conference of Technology Transfer and in the alternate years co-organizes IBERAMIA, the Ibero-American Conference of Artificial Intelligence with the collaboration of other associations from different Ibero-American countries. AEPIA also sponsors the Spanish Computer Conferences (CEDI), since its first edition in 2005.

Among the purposes of the AEPIA are the creation and coordination of working groups, support for technology transfer, support for entities (universities, R & D centers, companies, institutions, etc.) to facilitate their innovation and application of the techniques and applications of Artificial Intelligence, provide a support and discussion forum for researchers and students in their activities related to Artificial Intelligence, from the aspects of scientific and technological research, development, application and teaching.
