International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics 2003 Sponsored by The Machine Learning Centre of the Hebei University, Baoding, Hebei, China and the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Technical Committee on Cybernetics 24-27 August 2003, Xi-an, China The second International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics (ICMLC-2003) sponsored by the Machine Learning Centre of the Hebei University (www.hbu.edu.cn) and the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Technical Committee on Cybernetics (www.isye.gatech.edu/ieee-smc), will be held in Xi-an, China on 24-27 August 2003. We are living in a world which is rapidly evolving from an information-based to a knowledge-based society. In this new environment, we must be able to effectively turn the data we have into knowledge for our survival and advancement. Machine learning plays an important role in helping us generate new knowledge from data, whereas cybernetics provides a framework for the applications and implementations. This conference will bring together researchers, as well as people and organizations interested in machine learning and cybernetics applications, to exchange ideas and report progress in this important and exciting area of research and development. Topics for Submission: We invite original papers in machine learning an cybernetics including, but not limited to the following topics: * Adaptive Systems * Information Retrieval * Artificial Neural Networks * Intelligent Agents * Approximate Reasoning * Intelligent DSS * Case-Based Reasoning * Intelligent Control Systems * Data-Mining * Knowledge Based Systems * Evolutionary Computation * Knowledge Representation * Feature Selection * Pattern Recognition * Fuzzy Control * Speech Recognition * Fuzzy Systems and Theory * Support Vector Machines * Hybrid Systems * Wavelet & Multi-Resolution * Inductive Learning * Web-Mining Machine Learning Applications in: * Bio-Informatics * Construction Project Management * Financial Engineering * Geo-Informatics * Intelligent Transportation Systems * Logistics * Medical Informatics * Natural Language Processing * Network Intrusion Detection * Power Supply Important Dates: Submissions due: 15 April 2003 Notification of acceptance: 15 June 2003 Camera-ready copies of accepted papers due: 15 July 2003 Conference: 24-27 August 2003 Paper Submission: We invite original papers in machine learning and cybernetics covered by the above topics or any other relevant topics of interest. The papers should not be presently submitted to other conferences. All authors whose papers are accepted for publication in the Conference Proceedings must sign the IEEE Copyright Transfer & Export Control Form (URL: http://www.ieee.org/about/documentation/copyright/cfrmlink.htm). Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings which will be included in the citation index databases INSPEC and Ei/Compendex.
