4th KES International Conference on Intelligent Decision Technologies
KES-IDT-2012
23 - 25 May 2012, Gifu, Japan

http://idt-12.kesinternational.org

We are pleased to invite participation in IDT-2012, an interdisciplinary
conference consisting of keynote talks, oral and poster presentations, invited
sessions and workshops, on the applications and theory of intelligent decision
systems and related areas.  It will provide excellent opportunities for the
presentation of interesting new research results and discussion about them,
leading to knowledge sharing and generation of new ideas.

KES-IDT-2012 will be colocated with the 5th KES International Conference on
Intelligent Interactive Multimedia Systems and Services (KES-IIMSS-2012) in
Gifu, offering the potential for interaction between the two events.

Gifu, located in the centre of Japan, is a city ideal for international
conventions and sightseeing. Gifu City is known for its traditions and rich
history, including its 1300-year-old tradition of cormorant fishing on the
Nagara River and Gifu Castle.

Papers are invited from prospective authors with interests in the areas of:
intelligent decision making, intelligent agents, fuzzy logic, multi-agent
systems, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, expert systems,

and emergent Intelligent Decision Technologies.
