Intelligent computing is becoming a mature?eld of information and communication technology, covering a hybrid palette of methods and techniques derived from clas- cal arti?cial intelligence, computational intelligence, multi-agent systems etc. Int- ligent computing is generally known to be computationally intensive from the point of view of resources required: time, memory, bandwidth. As such high resource c- sumption is one of its main drawbacks, distributed computing is expected to give an impetus to its practical utilization. Moreover, intelligent techniques have also proved their usefulness to the core distributed computing technologies like planning and scheduling, load balancing, replication, resource allocation and management, and its applications. Therefore, the emerging?eld of intelligent distributed computing can be expected both, to bring a fruitful cooperation and to pose new challenges of adaptation of both areas. Intelligent and Distributed Computing 2007 – IDC 2007 was the?rst Inter- tional Symposium aimed at bringing together researchers involved in intelligent and distributed computing to allow cross-fertilization and search for synergies of ideas and to enable advancement of research in these exciting sub-?elds of computer s- ence. IDC was started as an initiative of research groups from: (i) Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland and (ii) Software Engine- ing Department of the University of Craiova, Craiova, Romania. IDC 2007 was held in Craiova, Romania during October 18-19, 2007. This book represents the peer-reviewed proceedings of the IDC 2007. We - ceived 52 submissions from 24 countries.

Proceedings of the 2010 ANNIE Conference in St Louis, Missouri. 20th Anniversary Conference. Editor: C. Dagli.

The annual international conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA) is now well established as a reference scientific event. The reader will find in this volume a collection of scientific papers that represent the state of the art of research in the domain of data, information and knowledge management, intelligent systems, and their applications. The 17th instance of the series of DEXA conferences was held at the Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Cracow College in Kraków, Poland, during September 4–8, 2006. Several collocated conferences and workshops covered specialized and complementary topics to the main conference topic. Four conferences? the 8th International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK), the 7th International Conference on Electronic Commerce and Web Technologies (EC-Web), the 5th International Conference on Electronic Government (EGOV), and the Third International Conference on Trust, Privacy, and Security in Digital Business (TrustBus)? and 14 workshops were collocated with DEXA. The whole forms a unique international event with a balanced depth and breadth of topics. Its much-appreciated conviviality fosters unmatched opportunities to meet, share the latest scientific results and discuss the latest technological advances in the area of information technologies with both young scientists and engineers and senior world-renown experts. This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the conference. Each submitted paper was reviewed by three or four reviewers, members of the Program Committee or external reviewers appointed by members of the Program Committee.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Discovery Science, DS 2003, held in Sapporo, Japan in October 2003. The 18 revised full papers and 29 revised short papers presented together with 3 invited papers and abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 80 submissions. The papers address all current issues in discovery science including substructure discovery, Web navigation patterns discovery, graph-based induction, time series data analysis, rough sets, genetic algorithms, clustering, genome analysis, chaining patterns, association rule mining, classification, content based filtering, bioinformatics, case-based reasoning, text mining, Web data analysis, and more.
