     FOURTEENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON 
     METHODOLOGIES FOR INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS 
                
     Maebashi TERRSA, Maebashi City, Japan
              October 28-31, 2003

 The Due Date of Paper Submission is March 10, 2003 
 ==================================================
  
 ISMIS has established a prestigious tradition by organizing a leading
 international conference on intelligent systems. The conference
 provides a unique opportunity for exchanging scientific research and
 technological achievements accomplished by the international
 community. The previous events were held in Knoxville, Tennessee
 (1986, 1990), Charlotte, North Carolina (1987, 1989, 1991, 1994, 1997,
 2000), Turin (1988), Trondheim (1993), Zakopane (1996), Warsaw (1999),
 Lyon (2002).
  
 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:
  
     Active Media Human-Computer Interaction
     Autonomic and Evolutionary Computation 
     Intelligent Agent Technology
     Intelligent Information Retrieval 
     Intelligent Information Systems 
     Knowledge Representation and Integration 
     Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining 
     Logic for Artificial Intelligence 
     Soft Computing 
     Web Intelligence  
  
 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.
  
 Proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in LNCS/LNAI (Lecture
 Notes in Artificial Intelligence, the series homepage:
 http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html) and will be available at
 the symposium. Any necessary information concerning typesetting can be
 obtained directly from Springer-Verlag page at
 http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
  
 Authors are invited to submit their manuscript in the LNCS/LNAI style
 (maximum 10 pages).  All paper submissions will be handled
 electronically.  Detailed instructions are provided on the conference
 homepage at http://www.wi-lab.com/ismis03/
