Welcome to ISMIS 2017
23rd International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems

ISMIS is an established and prestigious conference for exchanging the latest research results in building intelligent systems. Held twice every three years, the conference provides a medium for exchanging scientific research and technological achievements accomplished by the international community.
In June 2017, ISMIS will be held in Warsaw, Poland. The previous ISMIS conferences that were organized in Poland took place in Zakopane in 1996 and in Warsaw in 1999 and 2011.


CONFERENCE SCOPE

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 2017 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:

* Active Media Human-Computer Interaction
* Autonomic and Evolutionary Computation
* Digital Libraries
* Health Informatics
* Intelligent Agent Technology
* Intelligent Data Processing and Analytics
* Intelligent Information Retrieval
* Intelligent Information Systems
* Intelligent Language Processing
* Knowledge Integration and Aggregation
* Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
* Knowledge Visualization
* Logic for Artificial Intelligence
* Multimedia Information Retrieval
* Soft Computing
* Text Mining
* Web Intelligence
* Web Mining

In addition, we solicit papers dealing with Applications of Intelligent Systems in complex/novel domains, e.g. art, human genome, global change, manufacturing, social good, etc.


SPECIAL SESSIONS

* Big Data Analytics and Stream Data Mining
* Granular and Soft Clustering for Data Science
* Knowledge Discovery with Formal Concept Analysis and related formalisms
* Data Mining Competition (by invitation)


IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission - February 9, 2017 (strict deadline)
Paper acceptance notification - March 21, 2017 (extended)
Camera ready paper submission - April 3, 2017
The conference - June 26-29, 2017


PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in LNCS/LNAI style (maximum 10 pages). All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Detailed instructions are provided on the conference homepage: http://ismis2017.ii.pw.edu.pl/. All submissions will be subject to review by the ISMIS 2017 Program Committee.


PUBLICATIONS

All accepted ISMIS 2017 papers submitted either to the main track or to special sessions will be published in Springer's proceedings in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNCS/LNAI) Series and will be available at the conference. Any necessary information concerning typesetting can be obtained directly from Springer at Springer-Verlag page. Authors of best papers will be invited to submit their extended versions to the Journal of Intelligent Information Systems (JIIS) published by Springer. Fast Track Processing will be used to have them reviewed and published.
