RELATED EVENTS Organizers aim at coordination of the conference time-table with "Warsaw Int. Seminar on Soft Computing" or "Int. Warsaw Workshop on Web" to be held in the capital of Poland. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The 3rd Atlantic Web Intelligence Conference (Madrid 2003, Cancun - 2004) brings together scientists, engineers, computer users, and students to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects (theory, applications and tools) of intelligent methods applied to Web based systems, and to discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted. The conference will cover a broad set of intelligent methods, with particular emphasis on soft computing. Methods such as (but not restricted to): * Neural Networks * Fuzzy Logic * Multivalued Logic * Rough Sets * Ontologies * Evolutionary Programming * Intelligent CBR * Genetic Algorithms * Semantic Networks * Intelligent Agents * Reinforcement Learning * Knowledge Management should be related to applications on Web like: * Web Design * Information Retrieval * Electronic Commerce * Conversational Systems * Recommender Systems * Browsing and Exploration * Adaptive Web * User Profiling/Clustering * E-mail/SMS filtering * Negotiation Systems * Security, Privacy, and Trust * Web-log Mining ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submission Guidelines We solicit research and experience papers as well as research-in-progress and practitioner reports applying artificial intelligence and soft computing techniques to Web in any of the areas listed above. The AWIC'05 papers will be published by Springer as part of their LECTURE NOTES in ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE series. Papers should have a length of up to 6 pages following the Springer LNCS format. Electronic submissions are due on December 4, 2004. Papers will be accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the conference topics. A double reviewing process will be used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ About Lodz Lodz is the second largest city in Poland (population about 800 000 people). It can be easily reached by couch from Warsaw Airport (2 hours) or by intercity trains from Warsaw Central Railway Station.
