ISIS'97 - Reggio Calabria

The International Symposium on Intelligent Systems will be held in Reggio Calabria, Italy, from September 11 to September 13, 1997. This 2+1/2 days interdisciplinary symposium aims to be an international forum for advanced studies in Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems and related intelligent technologies, with special concern for analysis and synthesis of systems which have to make decisions in an environment of uncertainty and imprecision. This Conference follows up the series of International Symposia organized by AMSE in Istanbul (1988), Brighton (1989), Cetinje (1990), Warsaw (1991), Geneva (1992), London (1993), Lyon (1994), Brno (1995) and Leon (1996).
