   Dear Colleagues,

   We have organised an exciting event: ISDA'2001:  Intelligent Systems
   Design and Applications; an International workshop in conjunction with
   the The 2001 International Conference on Computational Science, May 28
   - 30, 2001, San Francisco,USA.

   Due to several requests, the "FINAL" deadline for submission of papers
   for ISDA 2001 is extended to 09 February, 2001. The call for paper is
   enclosed with this for your kind consideration and we hope you will
   consider ISDA 2001 for presenting your research work.

   Please note that we are also encouraging the presentation of
   work-in-progress type research note. All accepted papers will be
   published through Springer Verlag LNCS-series.Any help in publishing
   the enclosed CFP will be appreciated.

   Best wishes,

   Sincerely,

   A Abraham

   ****   INTELLIGENT COMPUTING SYSTEMS FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM ****

   Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA 2001) is an
   international meeting that brings together international AI/ soft
   computing  researchers, developers, practitioners, and users.
   The aim of ISDA 2001 is to serve as a forum to present current and
   future work as well as to exchange research ideas in this field.

   ISDA 2001 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished
   work that demonstrate current research in all areas of AI including
   design of artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary
   algorithms, hybrid intelligent systems, and their applications in
   science, technology, business and commerce.

     Topics of interest include but not limited to:

         Artificial Neural Networks

          * Mathematical foundations of neural networks, architectures
            and algorithms.
          * Learning theory (supervised/unsupervised/reinforcement
            learning)
          * Knowledge based networks
          * Implementation issues of neural networks
          * Neural network training using evolutionary algorithms

     We invite you to submit a:

     ** Full paper of 6 to 10 pages (Letter or A4 paper) for oral
        presentation
     ** Short paper of 2 to 4 pages (Letter or A4 paper) for poster
        presentation

   The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to
   the instructions of LNCS. Submission implies the willingness of at least
   one of the authors to register and present the paper.
