ISMIS'09: Call for Papers

The Eighteenth International Symposium on
Methodologies for Intelligent Systems (ISMIS'09)

September 14-17 2009
University of Economics, Prague, Czech Republic

Conference Theme

 

The scope of ISMIS is intended to represent a wide range of topics on applying Artificial Intelligence techniques to areas as diverse as decision support, automated deduction, reasoning, knowledge based systems, machine learning, computer vision, robotics, planning, databases, information retrieval, etc. The focus is on research in intelligent systems. The conference addresses issues involving solutions to problems that are complex to be solved through conventional approaches and that 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'08 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
  • Digital Libraries
  • Intelligent Agent Technology
  • Intelligent Information Retrieval
  • Intelligent Information Systems
  • Intelligent Language Processing
  • Knowledge Representation and Integration
  • Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
  • Knowledge Visualization
  • Logic for Artificial Intelligence
  • Music Information Retrieval
  • Soft Computing
  • Text Mining
  • Web Intelligence
  • Web Mining
  • Web Services

In addition, we solicit papers dealing with Applications of Intelligent Systems in complex/novel domains, e.g. human genome, global change, manufacturing, health care, etc.

Paper Submission

 

Authors are invited to submit their manuscript in LNCS/LNAI style (maximum 10 pages). All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Detailed instructions will be provided on the conference homepage: http://ismis09.vse.cz. All submissions will be subject to review by the ISMIS'09 program committee.

Publications

 

The ISMIS'09 proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in LNAI (Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence) and will be available at the conference. Any necessary information concerning typesetting can be obtained directly from Springer at Springer-Verlag page.

A special issue containing extended versions of selected papers presented at ISMIS'09 will appear in the International Journal of Intelligent Information Systems (ISSN:0925-9902) published by Springer and in the Fundamenta Informaticae Journal (ISSN 0169-2968) published by IOSPress.
