ISMIS'97 SYMPOSIUM PROGRAM
TENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON
METHODOLOGIES FOR INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (ISMIS'97)
Hilton Hotel, Charlotte, North Carolina
October 15-18, 1997
SPONSORS
UNC-Charlotte
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Univ. of Warsaw, Poland
First Union National Bank
PURPOSE OF THE SYMPOSIUM
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:
* Approximate Reasoning
* Evolutionary Computation
* Intelligent Information Systems
* Learning and Knowledge Discovery
* Knowledge Representation and Integration
* Logic for Artificial Intelligence
* Robotics, Motion and Machine Vision
* Methodologies (modeling, design, validation, performance evaluation).
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.
