*************************************************************************** FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HYBRID INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (HIS02) December 01 - 04, 2002 Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile http://his02.hybridsystem.com *************************************************************************** Deadline for Paper Submission: July 31, 2002 *************************************************************************** HIS'02 is the second International conference that brings together researchers, developers, practitioners, and users of soft computing, computational intelligence, agents, logic programming, and several other intelligent computing techniques. The aim of HIS'02 is to serve as a forum to present current and future work as well as to exchange research ideas in this field. HIS'02 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work that demonstrate current research using soft computing/ computational intelligence and other intelligent computing techniques and their applications in science, technology, business and commercial. Please submit a full paper of 8 to 10 pages (Letter or A4 paper) for oral presentation. The proceedings of the Conference will be published by Springer Verlag, Germany. A selected number of papers will also be considered for a special issue of the Elsevier Science Journal "Applied Soft Computing".Please follow the author’s guidelines given by Springer-Verlag, Germany for more information on submission. Author's guidelines can be downloaded from the conference web page. *************************************************************************** Topics of Interest include but are not limited to: Track 1: Computational Intelligence and Applications - Artificial neural networks and learning techniques - Artificial neural network optimization using global optimization techniques - Interactions between neural networks and fuzzy inference systems - Fuzzy clustering algorithms - Fuzzy system optimization using global optimization algorithms - Evolutionary computation - Support vector machines, rough sets, Bayesian networks - Hybrid computing using neural networks-fuzzy systems- evolutionary algorithms - Hybrid optimization techniques - Hybrid of soft computing and statistical learning techniques - Intelligent agents - Models using inductive logic programming, logic synthesis - Natural computation techniques - Autonomic computing - Applications using the above systems - Special topics Track 2: Soft Computing for Pattern Recognition and Signal Processing - Features and Classification - Texture Analysis - Document Analysis - Shape Processing - Fuzzy Image Processing - Grouping and Segmentation - Object Recognition - Medical Image Processing - Image and Video Retrieval - Biometric Systems - Image Representation - Image Compression - Video Processing - Digital Watermarking - Image Synthesis - Industrial Applications - Visual Surveillance Track 3: Soft Computing and the Internet - e-learning, e-commerce, e-business - Web Intelligence - Search Engines - Information retrieval (web mining) - Database Querying - Ontology - XML mining - Intelligent networking between Web Sites - Content Management - Information Aggregation and Fusion - Interaction with Intelligent Agents - Intelligent Agents and Interfaces for personalization and adaptivity - Intelligent tutoring systems on the WWW - WWW Recommender Systems - Adaptive Hypermedia Systems - Agents for Digital cities, virtual communities and agent societies Track 4: Intelligent Data Mining - Integrating E-Commerce and Data Mining - Discovering patterns in Continuous Data - Uncertainty management for data mining - Clustering algorithms and applications - Classification trees - Mining time series - Mining in a Mobile Environment - Statistical Considerations in Learning - XML Mining - Text Mining - Distributed Data Mining *************************************************************************** HIS02 Important Dates Deadline for Events Proposals May 30, 2002 Deadline for Paper Submission (full paper) July 31, 2002 Notification of Acceptance September 30, 2002 Deadline for Camera Ready Papers October 14, 2002 HIS'02 Conference in Chile December 01-04, 2002 *************************************************************************** Venue Information (Santiago, Chile) HIS’02 will be hosted by the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at the Universidad de Chile (Beaucheff 850, Santiago de Chile).
