SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS ICAIS 2002 First International ICSC Congress on Autonomous Intelligent Systems Deakin University, Waterfront Campus Geelong, Australia 12 - 15 February 2002 www.icsc-naiso.org/conferences/icais2002 General information Autonomous intelligent systems can be described as intelligent entities that are capable of independent action in dynamic, unpredictable environments. This is a very fast growing research area attracting the attention of many researchers around the globe. The aim of the International Congress on Autonomous Intelligent Systems (ICAIS) is to bring the researchers, system developers and users both from industry and academia together to exchange their views and receive the very latest information on the on-going research and development. This will be carried out through a series of keynote addresses, technical sessions, workshops and exhibitions. Organizing committee Honorary General Chair Dr. Charles R.
