Contributions will be published in an extended post-workshop proceedings volume in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series of Springer Verlag.
ABiALS is an interdisciplinary workshop investigating the influence of anticipations on behavior and learning. ABiALS is designed to help investigate how anticipations can influence, initiate, and guide behavior and learning as well as how anticipatory influences can be implemented in an adaptive learning system.
Anticipatory behavior is a mechanism, or a behavior, that does not only depend on the past and present
but also on predictions, expectations, or beliefs about the future.

OBJECTIVES:
In ABiALS 2006, expertise of researchers from various disciplines including neuroscience, cognitive psychology, machine learning, artificial intelligence, control, and vision research are combined to shed further light on the concept of anticipation. Essentially, it is investigated how knowledge about the future influences actual behavior, including influences on attention, action decision making and control, as well as (behavioral and model) learning.
