CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------

The Fifth International Symposium on Quantum Interaction (QI'2011,  
http://www.rgu.ac.uk/qi2011), 27-29 June 2011, Aberdeen, United Kingdom.

Quantum Interaction (QI) is an emerging field which is applying  
quantum theory (QT) to domains such as artificial intelligence, human  
language, cognition, information retrieval, biology, political  
science, economics, organisations and social interaction.

After highly successful previous meetings (QI'2007 at Stanford,  
QI'2008 at Oxford, QI'2009 at Saarbruecken, QI'2010 at Washington DC),  
the Fifth International Quantum Interaction Symposium will take place  
in Aberdeen, UK from 27 to 29 June 2011.

This symposium will bring together researchers interested in how QT  
addresses problems in non-quantum domains. QI'2011 will also include a  
half day tutorial session on 26 June 2011, with a number of leading  
researchers delivering tutorial on the foundations of QT, the  
application of QT to human cognition and decision making, and QT  
inspired semantic information processing.


***Call for Papers***

We are seeking submission of high-quality and original research papers  
that have not been previously published and are not under review for  
another conference or journal. Papers should address one or more of  
the following broad content areas, but not limited to:

consciousness)
- Decision Theory (political, psychological, cultural, organisational,  
social sciences)
- Finance and Economics (decision-making, mergers, corporate cultures)

- Language and Linguistics

The post-conference proceedings of QI'2011 will be published by  
Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.  
Authors will be required to submit a final version 14 days after the  
conference to reflect the comments made at the conference. We will  
also consider organizing a special issue for a suitable journal to  
publish selected best papers.
