The Congress will also provide a unique opportunity for dialogue and synergy between scientists and engineers from different backgrounds with the common interest in intelligent systems. The congress consists of the following four Symposia: 1. COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE (CI'2000) for details see http://www.icsc.ab.ca/151-info.htm 2. INTERACTIVE AND COLLABORATIVE COMPUTING (ICC'2000) for details see http://www.icsc.ab.ca/152-info.htm 3. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS (IS'2000) for details see http://www.icsc.ab.ca/153-info.htm 4. BIOLOGICALLY INSPIRED SYSTEMS (BIS'2000) for details see http://www.icsc.ab.ca/154-info.htm SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM ISA'2000 will include invited plenary talks, contributed sessions, invited sessions, workshops and tutorials. CALL FOR INVITED SESSIONS The organization of invited sessions is encouraged. Prospective organizers are requested to send a session proposal (consisting of 4-5 invited papers, the recommended session-chair and co-chair, as well as a short statement describing the title and the purpose of the session) to the respective symposium chair or the congress organizer. Invited sessions should preferably start with a tutorial paper. The registration fee of the session organizer will be waived, if at least 4 authors of invited papers register to the conference. POSTER PRESENTATIONS Poster presentations are encouraged for people who wish to receive peer feedback, and practical examples of applied research are particularly welcome. Poster sessions will allow the presentation and discussion of respective papers, which will also be included in the conference proceedings. CALL FOR WORKSHOPS, TUTORIALS AND OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS Several workshops/tutorials are planned for ISA'2000. Each workshop/tutorial will focus on a particular topic, and consist of several presentations and open discussions. The proposal for a workshop/tutorial should include the title, topics covered, proposed speakers, targeted audiences, and estimated length (hours) of the workshop/tutorial. The proposal should be submitted either to the congress chair, the corresponding symposium chair or the congress organizer by March 31, 2000. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Prospective authors are requested to either send a draft paper (maximum 7 pages) or an extended abstract for review by the International Program Committee. All submissions must be written in English, starting with a succinct statement of the problem, the results achieved, their significance and a comparison with previous work. Submissions must be received by March 31, 2000. The submission should also include - Title of symposium (CI'2000, ICC'2000, IS'2000, BIS'2000) - Type of paper (regular, poster, tutorial or invited) - Authors names, affiliations, addresses - Name of author to contact for correspondence - E-mail address and fax # of contact author - Topics which best describe the paper (max. 5 keywords) - Short CV of authors (recommended) Submission by electronic mail is strongly recommended to [log in to unmask] or else by fax or mail (2 copies) to the following address: ICSC International Computer Science Conventions P.O.
