eunite 2001 - European Symposium on Intelligent Technologies,
Hybrid Systems and their implementation on Smart Adaptive Systems
13 - 14 December 2001
Tenerife, Spain
ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
(A pdf-file containing the complete announcement and call for papers can
be
downloaded on www.eunite.org.)
EUNITE 2001 will take place in Tenerife, Spain from 13 - 14 December 2001.
It is a

The symposium will show state-of-the-art presentations as well as new
developments in
the so called Intelligent Technologies: fuzzy logic, neural networks,
evolutionary
computation and machine learning. The focus will be on hybrid systems that
combine two
or more of these technologies and/or address issues on adaptivity,
preferably with
special interest to solve industrial problems. The aim is also to
investigate Adaptive
Intelligent Systems: systems that coordinate perception, reasoning, and
action to pursue
multiple goals while functioning autonomously in dynamic environments.
EUNITE 2001 will have parallel sessions where experts present their newest
developments
and applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
