Announcing IDA-2001

       Fourth International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis
                    New University of Lisbon, Portugal
                         13th-15th September 2001

Call for papers
===============
  IDA-2001 will take place in Lisbon from  13th to 15th September 2001,  and
is organised by the Department of Computer Science of the Faculty of Science
and  Technology  of the  New  University  of Lisbon.  It will  consist  of a
stimulating  program  of tutorials,  invited talks  by leading international
experts in intelligent  data  analysis, contributed papers, poster sessions,
and an exciting social program.
  Our aim is for IDA-2001 to bring  together a wide  variety of  researchers
concerned  with  extracting  knowledge  from  data,  including  people  from
statistics,  machine learning,  neural networks,  computer science,  pattern
recognition, database management, and other areas. The strategies adopted by
people from these areas are  often different,  and a synergy results if this
is recognised. IDA-2001 is intended  to stimulate interaction  between these
different areas, so that more powerful tools emerge for extracting knowledge
from  data  and  a  better  understanding  is  developed  of the  process of
intelligent data analysis.

It is the fourth symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis after the successful
symposia in 1999 (Amsterdam), 1997 (London), and 1995 (Baden-Baden).
