Dear Colleagues,
After the success of ISDA 2001, we are organising
ISDA 2002: Second International Workshop on Intelligent Systems
Design and Applications in Atlanta, USA.
Venue: Atlanta, USA
Date: 07-08 August 2002,
Workshop URL: http://isda2002.softcomputing.net/
Sponsors:
Technically co-sponsored by The World Federation of Soft Computing (WFSC)
Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA 2002) is an International
workshop that brings together international soft computing / artificial
intelligence researchers, developers, practitioners, and users. The aim
of ISDA 2002 is to serve as a forum to present current and future work as
well as to exchange research ideas in this field.
ISDA 2002 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work
that demonstrate current research in all areas of soft computing and
computational intelligence including design of artificial neural networks,
fuzzy systems, evolutionary algorithms, hybrid systems, agents, and their
applications in science, technology, business and commercial.
Topics of interest include but not limited to:
Applications/techniques using the following, but not limited to:
Artificial Neural Networks
- Mathematical foundations of neural networks, architectures and algorithms.
- Learning theory (supervised/unsupervised/reinforcement learning)
- Knowledge based networks
- Implementation issues of neural networks

Paper Submission
**************************************************************
Authors of contributed and invited papers are requested to submit, before
February 28, 2002, an article not exceeding 4 pages of their research
presentation (each additional page costs US$50.00 per page). Please type
each article single spaced on one side of 8.5x11 size paper with one inch
margin on all sides.
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,=
postscript
or MS word version electronically to: isda02@softcomputing.net
Hard copies should be sent only if electronic submission is not possible.
All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two independent referees of the
international program committee of ISDA'02.
Extended version of selected papers will be considered as book chapters
for a special edited volume which will be published in the "Studies in
Fuzziness and Soft Computing" by Springer Verlag, Germany. Authors should
indicate whether they wish their papers to be considered for this special
volume.
Extended version of outstanding papers will be invited for the Elsevier
Science International On-line " Applied Soft Computing Journal" (official
journal of the World Federation on Soft Computing) . The paper will be
selected by the International Technical Committee of ISDA 2002.
