********************************************
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/%7Exwu/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.

High-quality papers in all IAT related areas are solicited. Papers
exploring new directions or areas will receive a careful and
supportive review. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the
basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity.
Note that IAT 2003 will accept ONLY on-line submissions, containing
PDF (PostScript or MS-Word) versions.
The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer
Society Press.
IAT 2003 also welcomes Industry Track submissions, Workshop and
Tutorial proposals.
