1. Review of recent activities
CIBCB2013
CEC2013
2. Updated CIBCB2014 information (Chair: Steven Corns)
keynote speakers
focus on advertising
3. Discussion of CIBCB2015 proposal
4. Working plan for 2013-14
5. Ways to improve task forces
6. BBTC website
2013 BBTC Meeting
1. Increase reach of CIBCB, with the hope of attracting more submissions
1. Broader scope of scientific areas and methods2. Conference status in 2014 (Hawaii)3. Consider extended papers for journal special
issues2. Continue to develop cibcb.org website
1. Portal to use for all CIBCB meetings2. Record of past CIBCB meetings3. Collect tutorial materials
3. Additional activities,
1. Competitions at SSCI 2014 and beyond
2. Call for proposals and tutorials at WCCI2014
Working Plan for 2013-14
4. Strong supports for CIBCB meetings, and special sessions at other conferences
5. To dissolve all Task Forces, with encouragement for active ones to re-form in BBTC
1. Task forces should have “tasks”2. Inactive TFs should be dismantled3. Suggestion: have all TFs reapply
6. More BBTC-sponsored activities at WCCI, such as IJCNN and FUZZ-IEEE (Tutorials and Special Sessions)
Working Plan for 2013-14
