Special Session on

"*Hybrid Intelligent Business and Industrial Information Systems (HIBI2S): techniques and applications*"
www.gsi.dec.usc.es/hibi2s/

at the

*8th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems* (HIS 2008)
10-12 September 2008, Barcelona, Spain
his2008.lsi.upc.edu/ <http://his2008.lsi.upc.edu/>


*-AIMS AND SCOPE------------ *
A number of intelligent techniques such as fuzzy logic, evolutionary computing, inference systems based on descriptive logics or case based reasoning, focusing on different aspects of business and industrial information systems, have been discussed in the recent years. In those systems where either a single of these or other non-IA related techniques is implemented some aspects of the problem usually remain unsolved, due to the limitations of the models. Within this context, combination of a number of techniques into hybrid systems is likely to be a more successful approach to complex applications such are business and industrial information systems. The aim of the session is to bring together researchers both in the fields of modelling and applications of business and industrial information systems, in order to present different approaches to the topic, share their latest developments and discuss on future lines of research and collaboration in these fields.

*--TOPICS OF INTEREST------------ *
Papers dealing with the following topics (non exhaustive list) in the field of hybrid intelligent information systems for business and industrial processes are welcome:

- Knowledge-based business/industrial information systems
- Computational Intelligence applications and models for business/industrial information systems - Hybrid techniques for interoperability and integration between information systems - Learning models or knowledge mining techniques for information extraction and processing in business/industrial information systems
- Middleware for implementing hybrid techniques in information systems
- Hybrid models for collaboration in business/industrial information systems
- Hybrid techniques or applications in industrial informatics
- Workflows, Semantic Web and other AI-related modelling techniques to bussiness and industrial processes management - Service Oriented Architectures or Web-based technologies for bussiness and industrial processes - any other artificial intelligence model for business and industrial information systems

And also applications, prototypes, demonstrations of any of the above indicated models are welcome.

*--PAPER SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS------------*
Prospective authors are invited to submit a tentative title of their paper and a short description of the contents (max. 200 words) to the organizers (see below) as soon as possible (by 25 April). Full papers should follow the HIS 2008 guidelines (6 pages maximum, IEEE Journal style) and will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. The papers accepted for this session will be published in the proceedings of HIS 2008 (IEEE Computer Society Press). Extended version of selected papers of the Conference will be published in several Journals special issues (to be announced).

*--THE CONFERENCE------------ *
Following the successful editions of Hybrid Intelligent Systems Conference, the Barcelona Edition HIS 2008 will provide a scientific forum for the HIS community. HIS'08 will bring together researchers, developers and practitioners of soft computing, computational intelligence, agents, logic programming, and other intelligent computing techniques.
