>FOCUS: The fourth meeting dedicated to Applied Semiotics and
>its Application in Large and Complex Systems, including
>Intelligent Machines, ISAS `97 will focus on Learning Processes.
>Workshops and discussions will examine formal methodologies
>concerned with:
> * learning in large symbolic structures,
> * systems of symbol and knowledge representation emerging
> from learning processes, and
> * systems and machines designed to acquire knowledge
> and act intelligently.
>
>New insights will be explored in the areas of modeling, reasoning,
>analysis, and design, as well as applications of intelligent
>systems. The role of semiotic methods in building learning
>architectures will be emphasized. The proceedings will advance
>multidisciplinary discussions and further inquiries fostered by:
> - Architectures for Semiotic Modeling and Situation Analysis
> in Large Complex Systems, an August 1995 meeting held
> in conjunction with the 10th IEEE Symposium on
> Intelligent Control in Monterey, Calif.
> - Intelligent Systems: A Semiotic Perspective, hosted by
> NIST in October 1996.
> - The Workshop on Semiotic Analysis and Design of
> Intelligent Systems, held March 1997, in Triangle Park, N.C.
>
>ORGANIZATION: Three general discussions and nine workshops,
organized in
>three parallel tracks. Topic categories are:
>
>- Semiotic Modeling of Open Systems
>- Knowledge Representation in Intelligent
> Systems
>- Multiresolutional Methods
>- Semiotic Methods of Knowledge Processing
>- Inference in the Loop of Functioning
>- Architectures of Intelligent Systems
>- Toward Multidisciplinary Processes in
> Science and Technology
>- Toward Intelligent Decision Support
> Systems
>- Towards Autonomous Intelligent Machines
>- Key Phenomena of Intelligence
>- Evolution of Semiotic Systems
>- Applying Semiotics to Understand
> Intelligence

>SUBMISSION INFORMATION: Five copies of your paper (including
>abstract) should be received by April 10, 1997. Clearly indicate
>the corresponding author. For all authors, include title, name,
>affiliation, address, telephone number, fax, and e-mail address.
>Please specify workshop for which the paper is being
>submitted. Initial submissions should be in near-to-final
>form due to the short amount of time available for changes prior
>to publication. Notification of acceptance and the author's
>kit will be mailed by June 13, 1997. The full paper, in
>camera-ready form, must be received by July 3, 1997. Papers
>should be in two-column format, using at least 10 point Times font.
>Length is limited to six pages, including abstract.
