Call for Papers: ISMIS 2003

FOURTEENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON
METHODOLOGIES FOR INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS

Maebashi TERRSA, Maebashi City, Japan
October 28-31, 2003

http://www.wi-lab.com/ismis03/

ISMIS has established a prestigious tradition by organizing a leading
international conference on intelligent systems. The conference
provides a unique opportunity for exchanging scientific research and
technological achievements accomplished by the international
community. The previous events were held in Knoxville, Tennessee
(1986, 1990), Charlotte, North Carolina (1987, 1989, 1991, 1994, 1997,
2000),
Turin (1988), Trondheim (1993), Zakopane (1996), Warsaw (1999), Lyon (2002).

This Symposium is intended to attract individuals who are actively
engaged both in theoretical and practical aspects of intelligent
systems. The goal is to provide a platform for a useful exchange
between theoreticians and practitioners, and to foster the
cross-fertilization of ideas in the following areas:

   Active Media Human-Computer Interaction
   Autonomic and Evolutionary Computation
   Intelligent Agent Technology
   Intelligent Information Retrieval
   Intelligent Information Systems
   Knowledge Representation and Integration
   Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
   Logic for Artificial Intelligence
   Soft Computing
   Web Intelligence

In addition, we solicit papers dealing with Applications of
Intelligent Systems in complex/novel domains, e.g. human genome,
global change, manufacturing, health care, etc.

Proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in LNCS/LNAI
(Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, the series homepage:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html) and will be available at the
symposium. Any necessary information concerning typesetting can be obtained
directly from Springer-Verlag page at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Authors are invited to submit their manuscript in
the LNCS/LNAI style (maximum 10 pages).
All paper submissions will be handled electronically.
Detailed instructions are provided on the conference homepage at
