Abstract

This volume contains communications accepted for presentation during The Intelligent Information Systems Symposium IIS'2001 which was held in Zakopane, Poland, on June 18-22, 2001. This is tenth, in the order, symposium organized by the Institute of Computer Science of Polish Academy of Sciences and devoted to new trends in (broadly understood) Artificial Intelligence.

We were pleased to see the continuation of the last year trend towards an increase in the number of co-operative contributions and in the number and diversity of practical applications of theoretical research.

Application areas of presented methods and systems included medical and mechanical diagnosis, decision making. Practical issues were investigated from various theoretical points of view like automated and semi-automated learning procedures, evolutionary and rough set theoretic approaches to learning and knowledge representation, agent technology. As a result, interesting practical solutions were proposed and challenging new research issues were suggested. Questions of efficiency of proposed and existing algorithms were studied by means of logical analysis and simulation studies. Overlapping of diverse branches of AI research was strikingly visible.

Keywords : logical and methodological foundations of AI, unsupervised learning, rules and decision trees acquisition, handling of uncertainty, AI for database systems, rough sets, neural networks and evolutionary algorithms.
