 ==================================================
 
 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
