Conference Theme

The scope of ISMIS is intended to represent a wide range of topics on applying Artificial Intelligence techniques to areas as diverse as decision support, automated deduction, reasoning, knowledge based systems, machine learning, computer vision, robotics, planning, databases, information retrieval, etc. The focus is on research in intelligent systems. The conference addresses issues involving solutions to problems that are complex to be solved through conventional approaches and that require the simulation of intelligent thought processes, heuristics and applications of knowledge. The integration of these multiple approaches in solving complex problems is of particular importance. ISMIS provides a forum and a means for exchanging information for those interested purely in theory, those interested primarily in implementation, and those interested in specific research and industrial applications.

Topics of Interest

ISMIS'12 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 (but are not limited to):

1)Active Media Human-Computer Interaction

2)Autonomic and Evolutionary Computation

3)Digital Libraries 4)Intelligent Agent Technology

5)Intelligent Information Retrieval

6)Intelligent Information Systems

7)Intelligent Language Processing

8)Knowledge Representation and Integration

9)Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

10)Knowledge Visualization

11)Logic for Artificial Intelligence

12)Music Information Retrieval

13)Soft Computing

14)Text Mining

15)Web Intelligence

16)Web Mining

17)Web Services

18)Social Computing

19)Recommender Systems

In addition, we include four special sessions (http://www.fst.umac.mo/wic2012/ISMIS/?category=participants&node=3) and one industry session

Special Session 1: Technology Intelligence and Applications

Special Session 2: Product Configuration

Special Session 3: Human Factors in Information Retrieval

Special Session 4: Social Recommender Systems
