ICCI 2003

The International Congress on Computational Intelligence is a high-quality,
high-impact Computational Intelligence conference, held this year at the
Universidad Nacional de Colombia at Medellin. The ICCI 2003 is organized by The
Colombian Network of Computational Intelligence, Red CIC, an international
organization dedicated to the promotion of scientific research and industrial
development in the Computational Intelligence area.

The upcoming meeting in this conference series follows the great success of ICCI
2001 held in the same place. The aim of ICCI 2003 is to bring together
researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, such as computer science,
information technology, business, education, human factors, system engineering,
electric-electronic engineering and industry to (1) examine the design
principles and performance characteristics of various approaches in
Computational Intelligence technology, and (2) increase the cross-fertilization
and applications of ideas on the development of Computational Intelligence
systems in different domains in Colombia and Latin America. The nature of
Computational Intelligence is that there
is a wide diversity of techniques and applications and it is hoped that this
diversity will be exhibited in the papers accepted.

PAPERS

High-quality papers in all CI related areas are solicited. Papers exploring new
directions will receive a careful and supportive review. All submitted papers
will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and
clarity.

To submit your manuscript take into account that:

* ICCI 2003 will accept ONLY on-line submission of papers, of up to 8 pages,
written in English or Spanish.
* The only accepted formats for submissions are Postscript or PDF formats.
