CALL FOR PAPERS Third International ICSC Symposium on ENGINEERING OF INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS University of Malaga Malaga, Spain September 24 - 27, 2002 And the ISMC 2002 Workshop Workshop on Information Systems for Mass Customization BACKGROUND AND SCOPE The EIS conference series pursue the synthesis of Artificial Intelligence techniques with Control Engineering methods to produce Intelligent Systems for Engineering applications. In recent years, the combination of Control Engineering and extensive knowledge of AI techniques has allowed scientists and practitioners to make a number of significant contributions to this rapidly developing field, for example in qualitative control, fuzzy qualitative simulation and model based diagnosis, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Genetic Algorithms (GAs), Fuzzy Logic (FL), and Neuro-Fuzzy Systems (NFS). The EIS conference series intend to provide researchers and practitioners from industry and academia with a platform to report on recent developments in the area of intelligent systems with focus on applications of computational intelligence techniques to engineering systems. The meeting will also provide a venue for dialogues between software engineers, systems designers and knowledge engineers ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Honary Chair Witold Pedrycz University of Alberta Canada General Chair Jose Ruiz Gomez Engineering and Automation University of Malaga Spain ruizg@ctima.uma.es Vice Chair Tatjana Welzer University of Maribor Slovenia TOPICS THEORY Artificial Immune Systems; Artificial Life; Case based Reasoning; Data Mining; Chaos; Clustering; Constraint Satisfaction and Constraint Programming; Expert Systems; Fuzzy Clustering; Fuzzy Control; Fuzzy learning; Fuzzy Modelling; Genetic Algorithm; Hybrid Systems; Intelligent Agents; Reasoning with Intervals; Knowledge Extraction; Machine Learning; Model based Reasoning; Multi Agent Systems; Neural Networks; Qualitative Reasoning; Wavelets Topics Applications Concurrent Engineering; Condition Monitoring and Control; Damage Assessment; Data Mining and Knowledge Extraction; Design; Emerging Organizational Forms; Fault Detection; Hardware Implementations; Image Processing and Computer Vision; Industrial Diagnostics; Management; Medicine Robotics; Mobile robots; Monitoring and Control; Multimedia; Natural Language Processing; Pattern Recognition; Product Development; Resource Allocation; Remote Sensing; Robotics; Security; Sensors fusion; Signal Processing; Speech Processing and Recognition; Teledetection; Teleoperation ISMC'2002 Workshop on Information Systems for Mass Customization Chairs Prof. Dr. Claus Rautenstrauch Business Information Systems Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg Germany rauten@iti.cs.uni-magdeburg.de PD Dr. Klaus Turowski Chair of Business Information Systems University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich Germany turowski@informatik.unibw-muenchen.de Topics ISMC 2002 Product configurators for mass customization, product catalogues Ad hoc generating of product data, ad hoc planning IT support for inter-company communication and coordination Web-based techniques, E-Commerce approaches, XML, XML/EDI Virtual enterprises for mass customization Procurement automation Supply chain management Production networks Intelligent planning/coordination, multi-agent systems Case studies Service individualization Mass customization concepts Please send proposed papers for the ISMC 2002 to the chairs of the workshop INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE of EIS 2002 L.

Box 1091 3360 BB Sliedrecht, The Netherlands Phone: +31-184-496999, Fax: +31-184-421065 eis2002@ITStransnational.com (Operating Division) planning@icsc.ab.ca (Planning Division) Regular Papers Prospective authors are requested to submit a paper of max. 7 pages through the website of the conference organizer. All papers must be written in English, starting with a succinct statement of the problem, the results achieved, their significance and a comparison with previous work. Poster Presentations Poster presentations are encouraged for people who wish to receive peer feedback for their work. Practical examples of applied research are particularly welcome. Papers discussing the respective posters will be included in the conference proceedings. Invited Session The organization of Invited Sessions is encouraged. Prospective organizers are requested to send a session proposal - consisting of 4-5 invited papers - to the General Chair and the ICSC-NAISO Planning Division. Invited Sessions should preferably start with the title and the purpose of the session and 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. Workshops Proposals for workshops are encouraged. However, work-shops should be clearly distinct from paper sessions, focusing on experimental work, hands-on experience, case studies, games, interactive exercises, and open discussions. Proposals should include a concise outline of the nature of the workshop and the expected outcome (2-3 pages). Tutorials Proposals for half-day tutorials (three hours) should clearly indicate the topic, background knowledge expected of the participants, objectives, time allocations for the major course topics, and the qualifications of the instructor(s). Contributions are welcome from those working in the industry as well as from academics. The conference language is English. Details for all types of submissions are available at the conference website www.icsc-naiso.org/conferences/eis2002/index.html
