>The introductory tutorial on Semiotics as applied to Intelligent Systems
>can be found on
>http://isd.cme.nist.gov/proj/semiotics/semiotics.html
>This location was established for the 1996 Conference on Intelligent
>Systems/Semiotics.
>
>THIS CONFERENCE is focused upon Learning Processes in Intelligent
>Systems. This is the fourth meeting dedicated to Applied Semiotics
>and its Application in Large and Complex Systems including Intelligent
>Machines.
>The first meeting ("Architectures for Semiotic Modeling and Situation
>Analysis in Large Complex Systems") was conducted at Monterey in
>August1995 in association with the 10th IEEE Symposium on Intelligent
>Control. The International Conference "Intelligent Systems: A Semiotic
>Perspective" gathered at NIST in October 1996. The Workshop on Semiotic
>Analysis and Design of Intelligent Systems (March 1997, Triangle Park, NC)
>can be considered an introduction to the conference described in this
>announcement.
>
>The goal of this conference is to discuss existing formal methodologies
>of dealing with
> * learning in large symbolic structures
> * systems of representation emerging from learning processes
> * systems and machines that can benefit from learning intelligence
>
>New insights will be explored associated with the areas of modeling,
>reasoning, analysis, design, and application of intelligent systems.
>The role of semiotic methods for building learning architectures
>will be focused upon.
>
>PLENARY LECTURES will be presented at the conference by prominent
>scholars:
>
>o Y. Klimontovich (Moscow State University, Russia) will demonstrate the
>domain where Semiotics and Physics become intrerwoven. The author
>of several textbooks in Statistical Physics and related domains, he will
>demonstrate how theoretical physics deals with the problems of emergence
>and opens for us a really multiresolutional picture of the World.
>
>o L. Fogel (Natural Selection) will describe the details of the process of
>discovering the methodology of Elolutionary Programming, and will
>tell about the experience of using it in Intelligent Systems.
>
>The Conference will be organized in three parallel tracks including 9
>Workshops and 3 general discussions. The three days of the meeting will
>be preceeded by a day of relevant tutorials.
>

>SUBMISSION INFORMATION
>
>Five copies of your paper (including an abstract) should be received
>by April 10, 1997. Clearly indicate who will serve as the corresponding
>author and include the title, the name of the author(s), affiliation,
