2nd CALL FOR PAPERS:
INTELLIGENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2003 - IIS'03
New Trends in Intelligent Information Processing and Web Mining (IIPWM)
Zakopane, Poland, June 2-5, 2003

########################################################################
Scope:
======
The conference will have special tracks on:
- Artificial Immune Systems
- Search Engines
The Conference�s focus will also be on the following topics:
- new computing paradigms, including, but not restricted to biologically
motivated methods, quantum computing, DNA computing,
- advanced data analysis,
- new machine learning paradigms,
- reasoning technologies,
- natural language processing,
- novelty detection,
- new optimization technologies,
- applied data mining using statistical and non-standard approaches,
- technologies for very large data bases,
- uncertainty management.
Special tracks:
===============
Artificial Immune Systems:
--------------------------
Research on biologically motivated systems (genetic algorithms, neural
networks, ant colony algorithms) has been going on for many years now. For
a number of reasons the investigation of properties of immune system of
humans and animals fertilized recently a broad range of research in
creating artificial immune systems. The special track on Artificial Immune
Systems is intended for presentation of the progress achieved in the area.
Original contributions are welcome including but not restricted to the
following topics and applications:
- Simulation of natural immune systems
- Learning idiotype systems
- Exploratory data analysis
- Clustering techniques based on immunological principles
- Immunological data compression
- Immunological genetic algorithms
- Discrete and continuous optimization in static and dynamic environments
- Anomaly detection and detection of intruders, new approaches to combating
software viruses
Search Engines:
---------------
Internet is a vast source of information. Unfortunately it is useless
unless we know where to find the piece of information we need. Search
Engines and related tools are intended to tell us where the information is.
Here we have to do with a non-trivial challenge for an artificial
intelligent system: it has to "understand" the relationship between the
intention of a natural language query formulated by a truly intelligent
human (the internaut) and the content of natural language documents
prepared by some other intelligent humans.
The special track on Search Engines is intended for presentation of the
progress achieved in the area. Original contributions are welcome including
but not restricted to the following topics:
- large scale search engines: design and implementation,
- personal search tools,
- intelligent spiders,
- on-line and off-line document clustering,
- static and dynamic document maps,
- intelligent navigation through hypertext document collections
- translation of documents,
- linguistic research on Web documents,
- technologies of extraction of information from text and non-text documents,
- text mining,
- web mining,
- question answering versus document retrieval.
Publication:
============
Publication in the Springer Verlag Series on Advances in Soft Computing is
envisaged.
Important Dates:
================
15th October, 2002 - papers' submission deadline
15th December, 2002 - acceptance/rejection decision due
15th January, 2003 - submission of camera-ready papers
2nd June, 2003 - the Conference starts
Registration and Accomodation:
==============================
Full cost of participation in the conference is expected to vary between
EUR 460 (US$ 450 or 1850 PLN) and EUR 590 (US$ 580 or 2400 PLN) depending
on accommodation (hotels/rooms at different rates will be offered). The
expected cost includes registration fee of EUR 330 (US$ 320 or 1350 PLN)
and board and lodging. The registration fee includes a copy of conference
proceedings, access to all scientific meetings, welcome reception and
conference dinner.
Paper Submission and Publication:
=================================
The working language of the conference is English. Only original,
unpublished papers in the aforementioned fields are invited. Authors should
submit an electronic version of full paper (up to eight pages; source, ps
and possibly pdf files) to the conference office: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
before October 15, 2002. The papers should be organized in accordance with
common scientific structure (abstract, state of the art in the field,
intention, used methodology, obtained results and references). Papers will
be refereed by an international committee, and accepted on the basis of
their scientific merit, novelty and relevance to the conference topics.
After notification of acceptance, authors will be allowed to make a
correction in accordance with the suggestions of the reviewers and submit
final camera-ready papers.
The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag series
�Advances in Soft Computing�. Accepted papers must be presented by author
(s) personally to be published in the conference proceedings.
