Presentation
Human System Learning International Conferences are organized as a cross-platform for the study and analysis of the latest research and developments issues related to Human System Learning. What makes this conference unique is the interaction of different disciplines with regard to their approach, methods and techniques for the application of advanced technologies. Specifics of disciplines are not only the subject of the conference but serve as cases. Cross-platform discussions and interactions help to enhance the scope of these technologies beyond their existing application limits. Furthermore, we seek a discussion of terms and conditions for introducing new concepts and tools (offered by the latest research and developments results) and new strategies (required by the inevitable changes of the professional and educational working environments).
 
Main scope: WHAT IS LEARNING? 
The Information Society is burgeoning and new technology is shifting educational, learning and training paradigms. Virtual Universities, Cyber-Classrooms, e-Learning, Wireless Based Learning, Humanoid Robots, Data Mining, Text Mining, Web Semantic, etc. may be cryptic catch phrases now but will be within the main learning and teaching norm in a very near future. The sixth ICHSL observes that, Machine Learning, Humanoid (mainly Human Robot Interaction) and e-Learning system have in common a real complex challenge: What learning has become? Whether learning has to occur within Humans, Machines or Interactions between Humans and Machine, the process of learning is still perceived as complex.
Learning context has shifted. Learning paradigms have shifted as well as learning Strategies. Learning environment has totally be changed as well as learning assessment, learning control, learning evolving, learning scheduling, etc
