Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA 2004) is the fourth
International conference that brings together international soft
computing, artificial intelligence, computational intelligence
researchers,
developers, practitioners and users. The aim of ISDA 2004 is to serve as
a forum to present current and future work as well as to exchange
research ideas in this field.

ISDA'04 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work
that demonstrate current research in all areas of intelligent systems
and their applications in science, technology, business and commercial.

ISDA'04 will focus on the following themes:

* Applications in Bioinformatics
* Architectures of intelligent systems
* Image, Speech and signal processing
* Internet modeling
* Data mining
* Fuzzy modeling and control
* Business and management applications
* Control and Automation
* Software agents
* Knowledge management
* Special topics

We invite you to submit a:

- - full paper of 8 to 10 pages (Letter or A4 paper) for oral presentation

- - proposal to organize a technical session and/or workshop.

Submitted papers have to be original, containing new and original
results. The proceedings of the Conference will be published by Springer
Verlag, Germany in the Advances in Soft Computing Series.  The
papers are to be formatted according to the author's instructions found
at the following link:
http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,10735,5-40006-0-0-0,00.html

Please use the MS Word and LaTeX templates given in the above link
(camera-ready manuscripts). These instructions and templates help you to
prepare your manuscript for camera-ready production.The
Springer LaTeX macros use standard LaTeX packages - if you do not have
these packages please refer to http://www.dante.de/cgi-bin/ctan-index.
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 electronically via the web site. All papers will be peer reviewed by

at least two independent referees of the international program committee
of ISDA'04.
