Dear Colleagues,
We have organised an exciting event: HIS'2001: International
Workshop on Hybrid Intelligent Systems in conjunction with The
14th Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI'01).
http://his.hybridsystem.com
(Technically co-sponsored by The World Federation of Soft
Computing)
Dates: 11-12 December 2001
Venue: Adelaide, Australia
HIS'01 is an International Workshop that brings together
researchers,
developers, practitioners, and users of neural networks, fuzzy inference
systems, evolutionary algorithms and conventional techniques. The
aim of HIS'01 is to serve as a forum to present current and future
work
as well as to exchange research ideas in this field.
HIS'01 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work that
demonstrate current research using hybrid computing techniques and
their applications in science, technology, business and commercial.
Topics of interest include Applications / techniques using the
following, but not limited to:
* Machine learning techniques (supervised/unsupervised/
reinforcement learning)
* Neural network and evolutionary Algorithms
* Neural networks and fuzzy inference systems
* Fuzzy clustering algorithms optimized using evolutionary
algorithms
* Evolutionary computation (genetic algorithms, genetic
programming ,evolution strategies, grammatical evolution
etc.)
* Hybrid optimization techniques (simulated annealing, tabu
search,
GRASP etc.)
* Hybrid computing using neural networks - fuzzy systems -
evolutionary algorithms
* Hybrid of soft computing and hard computing techniques
* Models using inductive logic programming, logic synthesis,
grammatical inference, case-based reasoning etc.
* Other intelligent techniques ( support vector machines,
rough sets, Bayesian networks, probabilistic
reasoning,
minimum message length etc)

Paper Submission
*************************************************************
We invite you to submit a full paper of 20 pages (maximum limit)
for the workshop presentation. Please follow the IOS Press
guidelines for more information on submission. Submission
implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and present the paper. All full papers are to be
submitted in PDF, postscript or MS word version electronically
to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hard copies should be sent only if electronic submission
is not possible. All papers will be peer reviewed by two
independent referees of the international program committee
of HIS'01. All accepted papers will published in the
proceedings of the Workshop by IOS Press, Netherlands.
