CALL FOR PAPERS:
INTELLIGENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2005 - IIS'05
New Trends in Intelligent Information Processing and Web Mining (IIPWM)
Gdansk, Poland, June 13-16, 2005
Conference Web page: http://iipwm.ipipan.waw.pl

Scope:
http://iipwm.ipipan.waw.pl/2005/scope.html
Papers on
- Artificial Immune Systems,
- Search Engines,
- Computational Linguistics,
- Knowledge Discovery
and related subjects are particularly encouraged.
The focus of the Conference will also be on the following topics:
- new computing paradigms, including, but not restricted to biologically
motivated methods, quantum computing, DNA computing,
- advanced data analysis,
- new machine learning paradigms,
- reasoning technologies,
- natural language processing,
- novelty detection,
- new optimization technologies,
- applied data mining using statistical and non-standard approaches,
- technologies for very large data bases,
- uncertainty management.
Artificial Immune Systems:
--------------------------
Research on biologically motivated systems (genetic algorithms, neural
networks, ant colony algorithms) has been going on for many years now.
For a number of reasons the investigation of properties of immune system
of humans and animals fertilized recently a broad range of research in
creating artificial immune systems. The special track on Artificial
Immune Systems is intended for presentation of the progress achieved in
the area. Original contributions are welcome including but not
restricted to the following topics and applications:
- Simulation of natural immune systems
- Learning idiotype systems
- Exploratory data analysis
- Clustering techniques based on immunological principles
- Immunological data compression
- Immunological genetic algorithms
- Discrete and continuous optimization in static and dynamic
environments
- Anomaly detection and detection of intruders, new approaches to
combating software viruses
Search Engines:
---------------
Internet is a vast source of information. Unfortunately it is useless
unless we know where to find the piece of information we need. Search
Engines and related tools are intended to tell us where the information
is. Here we have to do with a non-trivial challenge for an artificial
intelligent system: it has to "understand" the relationship between the
intention of a natural language query formulated by a truly intelligent
human (the internaut) and the content of natural language documents
prepared by some other intelligent humans.
We encourage papers devoted to Search Engines technology addressing the
progress achieved in the area of
- large scale search engines: design and implementation,
- personal search tools,
- intelligent spiders,
- on-line and off-line document clustering,
- static and dynamic document maps,
- intelligent navigation through hypertext document collections
- translation of documents,
- linguistic research on Web documents,
- technologies of extraction of information from text and non-text
documents,
- text mining,
- web mining,
- question answering versus document retrieval
and on related topics.
Computational Linguistics:
--------------------------
Natural language is the most obvious way of man-to-man communication but
it is still very difficult to use for computer programs. To overcome
this difficulty, a lot of effort has been devoted to provide
computational models of various aspects of natural language usage. These
results are incorporated into many working systems today, including
speech recognition systems, text-to-speech synthesizers, automated voice
response systems, web search engines, text editors, or information
extraction systems. We invite contributors interested in Computational
Linguistics to submit papers concerned especially with:
- automatic text analysis,
- corpus-based language processing,
- statistical and machine learning methods in NLP,
- information retrieval, information extraction and text summarization,
- speech recognition and synthesis,
- question answering systems,
- dialogue systems,
- machine and machine-aided translation tools
and other areas of natural language processing.
Knowledge Discovery:
--------------------
The most intricating area of human activity is the discovery of
relations within the physical and social environment. The complexity of
the knowledge acquisition process and / or the amount of data urge for
extended support of computing machines. We encourage researchers in this
and related areas to submit papers describing results and ongoing
research on topics:
- machine learning and statistical tools in knowledge discovery,
- knowledge representation and its impact on discovery processes
- machine learning algorithms
- new knowledge discovery paradigms
- learning from data versus learning from knowledge sources
- autonomous knowledge discovery robots
- knowledge discovery tools in OLAP
- knowledge acquisition from the Web
- applications of knowledge acquisition methodologies and software
and the like.
Publication:

Important Dates:
http://iipwm.ipipan.waw.pl/2005/dates.html
October 18, 2004 - paper submission deadline
June 13, 2005 - the Conference starts
Paper Submission and Publication:
http://iipwm.ipipan.waw.pl/2005/forauthors.html
The working language of the conference is English. Only original,
unpublished papers in the aforementioned fields are invited. Authors
should upload an electronic version of the full paper (up to eight
pages; ps and/or possibly pdf) by using the registration site* before
October 18, 2004. The papers should be organized in accordance with
common scientific structure (abstract, state of the art in the field,
intention, used methodology, obtained results and references). Papers
will be refereed by an international committee, and accepted on the
basis of their scientific merit, novelty and relevance to the conference
topics. After notification of acceptance, authors will be allowed to
make a correction in accordance with the suggestions of the reviewers
and submit final camera-ready papers.
Accepted papers must be presented by author(s) personally to be
published in the conference proceedings. The final papers are to be
prepared using LaTeX.
