[About ISMIS]

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.



[Special Session on Technology Intelligence and Applications]

To support decision-making with strategic foresight rightly, the combination of technology intelligence, political environment foresight, competitive intelligence, and consumer insight should be promised. As one of such important abilities, technology intelligence can be defined as activity that enables companies to identify the technological opportunities and threats that could affect the future growth and survival of their business. Thus, it needs to analyze technology trends, to forecast their sustainability, and furthermore to predict the next big wave by exploiting trawl, mine, scan, and target methods.

We seek high-qualified, original submissions of reports on research covering all the aspects of technology intelligence creation, promotion, and delivering methodologies based on the current information overload. The topics include but are not limited to the following:



Big Data Gathering and Management
Big Data Mining on technologies and their relations
Monitoring Social/Web Stream Data Sources
Integration of Data Sources
Ontology Modeling and Semantic Web Technologies
Social/Open/Linked Data and its Applications
Information Analytics
Technology Trends Analysis and Prediction
