</a></font></u><font color="#000000">The ISA�2000 Congress aims to
provide researchers and <br>
practitioners from academia and industry with a forum <br>
to report on the latest developments in intelligent <br>
systems and their applications within the four major <br>
areas of computational intelligence, interactive and <br>
collaborative computing, industrial systems, and <br>
biologically inspired systems. The Congress will also <br>
provide a unique opportunity for dialogue and synergy <br>
between scientists and engineers from different <br>
backgrounds with the common interest in intelligent <br>
systems.<br>
