    ****   INTELLIGENT COMPUTING SYSTEMS FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM ****

Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA 2001) is an
international meeting that brings together international AI/ Soft
Computing researchers, developers, practitioners, and users.
The aim of ISDA 2001 is to serve as a forum to present current and
future work as well as to exchange research ideas in this field.

ISDA 2001 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished
work that demonstrate current research in all areas of AI including
design of artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary
algorithms, hybrid intelligent systems, and their applications in
science, technology, business and commerce.

Topics of interest include but not limited to:

    presentation

** Short paper of 2 to 4 pages (Letter or A4 paper) for poster
    presentation

The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the
instructions of LNCS . Please follow the ICCS'01 guidelines for more
information on submission. Submission implies the willingness of at
least one of the authors to register and present the paper.

Please include a cover page which lists the following:

     * title of the paper
     * name, affiliation, address and e-mail address of each author
     * name of the presenting author
     * name of the corresponding author
     * a maximum of 5 keywords

All full papers are to be submitted in PDF, postscript or MS word
version electronically to  [log in to unmask] Hard
copies should be sent only if electronic submission is not possible. All
papers will be peer reviewed by two independent referees and published
in the proceedings of the conference by Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series.
