ISMIS 2006: Preliminary Call for Paper
===================================================
16th International Symposium on
Methodologies for Intelligent Systems
Bari, Italy, September 27-29, 2006

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
ISMIS has established a prestigious tradition by organizing a leading
international conference on intelligent systems. The conference
provides a unique opportunity for exchanging scientific research and
technological achievements accomplished by the international
community. The previous events were held in Knoxville, Tennessee
(1986, 1990), Charlotte, North Carolina (1987, 1989, 1991, 1994, 1997,
2000), Turin (1988), Trondheim (1993), Zakopane (1996), Warsaw (1999),
Lyon (2002), Maebashi City (2003), Saratoga Springs (2005).
Important Dates
---------------
Paper submission:.................. March 18
Notification of acceptance:........ May 15
Camera-ready copy due:............. June 30
Conference Theme
----------------
ISMIS is intended to represent a wide range of topics of concern to
scholars applying advanced techniques to areas as diverse as decision
support, automated deduction, reasoning, knowledge based systems,
machine learning, computer vision, robotics, planning, databases,
information retrieval, etc. ISMIS provides a medium for exchanging
scientific research and technological achievements accomplished by the
international community. The focus of the work is on research in
Intelligent systems. The conference addresses issues involving
solutions of problems which are complex to be solved through
conventional approaches and which require the simulation of
intelligent thought processes, heuristics and applications of
knowledge. The integration of these multiple approaches in solving
complex problems is of particular importance. ISMIS provides a forum
and a means for exchanging information for those interested purely in
theory, those interested primarily in implementation, and those
interested in specific research and industrial applications.
Topics of Interest
------------------
ISMIS 2006 invites submissions of original research contributions, as
well as proposals for panels and workshops. Contributions for
industry and applications sessions and software demonstrations also
are solicited. The conference covers a broad range of topics,
including the use of conventional approaches, as well as new
challenges for advanced techniques for intelligent systems in any
possible domain. This Symposium is intended to attract individuals
who are actively engaged both in theoretical and practical aspects of
intelligent systems. The goal is to provide a platform for a useful
exchange between theoreticians and practitioners, and to foster the
cross-fertilization of ideas in the following areas:
- Active Media Human-Computer Interaction
- Autonomic and Evolutionary Computation
- Intelligent Agent Technology
- Intelligent Information Retrieval
- Intelligent Information Systems
- Intelligent Interfaces
- Knowledge Representation and Integration
- Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
- Logic for AI and Logic Programming
- Machine Learning
- Soft Computing
- Text Mining
- Web Intelligence
In addition, we solicit papers dealing with Applications of
Intelligent Systems in complex/novel domains, e.g. bioinformatics,
global change, manufacturing, health care, etc.
Submission
----------
Proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in LNCS/LNAI (Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence) and will be available at the
symposium. Any necessary information concerning typesetting can be
obtained directly from Springer-Verlag page at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Authors are invited to submit their manuscript in the LNCS/LNAI style
(maximum 10 pages). All paper submissions will be handled
electronically. Detailed instructions are provided on the conference
homepage at http://www.di.uniba.it/ismis2006/
A selected number of ISMIS 2006 accepted papers will be expanded and
revised for possible inclusion in Journal of Intelligent Information
Systems (http://www.wkap.nl/journal/) by Springer, Knowledge and
Information Systems journal (http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~xwu/kais.html) by
