Fourth International ICSC Symposium on ENGINEERING OF INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (EIS 2004)
In collaboration with the University of Madeira Island of Madeira, Portugal February 29 - March 2, 2004 With the Following Special Sessions : · Fourth Workshop on Information Systems for Mass Customization (ISMC’2004) · Mini-Symposium on Computational Medicine Building and Applying Intelligent Systems in Health Care (In Co-operation with IEEE TC) · Hybrid System Applications · Hybridization of Evolutionary Computation and Neural Networks (HECNN) · Hybrid Algorithms for Function Approximation and Time Series Prediction · Intelligent Mobile Agents in Peer-To-Peer Networks · Computer Vision and Computational Neuroscience Honorary Chairman Erkki Oja, Finland Organizing Committee General Chair: Ana Isabel Portugal de Almada Cardoso, Madeira Vice Chair: Tatjana Welzer, Slovenia INTRODUCTION EIS 2004 The problem of engineering of intelligent systems is in fact the science of transferring the methodologies, the knowledge and the experiences from the area of artificial intelligence into the daily life, either directly through the applications or indirectly through basic or applied research. The conference originated in order to provide a wide forum in which the latest developments in the field could be discussed; so the participants from all countries are warmly welcome. The scope of the conference as indicated by its topics has been updated to reflect the recent rapid development of the intelligent systems, such as in the area of control systems, decision support systems or artificial life, to mention only a few. The previous very successful conferences in the series were held in 1998 on Tenerife Island, Spain, in 2000 in Paisley, Scotland, and in 2002 in Malaga, Spain. The success of the previous conferences and the achieved high standard will be reflected also in the coming conference.
