   ********************************************

 The 2003 IEEE/WIC International Conference on Intelligent Agent
 Technology (IAT 2003) will be jointly held with the 2003 IEEE/WIC
 International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003
 http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/WI03/).  The IEEE/WIC 2003 joint
 conferences are sponsored and organized by IEEE Computer Society
 Technical Committee on Computational Intelligence (TCCI)
 (http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~xwu/tfvi/index.shtml) and by Web Intelligence
 Consortium (WIC) (http://wi-consortium.org). The upcoming meeting in
 this conference series follows the great success of IAT-99 held in
 Hong Kong in 1999 and IAT-01 held in Maebashi City, Japan in 2001.
