“Intelligent systems must perform in order to be in demand. ” Intelligent systems technology is being applied steadily in solving many day-to-day problems. Each year the list of real-world deployed applications that inconspicuously host the results of research in the area grows considerably. These applications are having a significant impact in industrial operations, in financial circles, in transportation, in education, in medicine, in consumer products, in games and elsewhere. A set of selected papers presented at the seventeenth in the series of conferences on Industrial and Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems (IEA/AIE 2004), sponsored by the International Society of Applied Intelligence, is offered in this manuscript. These papers highlight novel applications of the technology and show how new research could lead to new and innovative applications. We hope that you find these papers to be educational, useful in your own research, and stimulating. In addition, we have introduced some special sessions to emphasize a few areas of artificial intelligence (AI) that are either relatively new, have received considerable attention recently or perhaps have not yet been represented well. To this end, we have included special sessions on e-learning, bioinformatics, and human-robot interaction (HRI) to complement the usual offerings in areas such as data mining, machine learning, intelligent systems, neural networks, genetic algorithms, autonomous agents, natural language processing, intelligent user interfaces, evolutionary computing, fuzzy logic, computer vision and image processing, reasoning, heuristic search, security, Internet applications, constraint satisfaction problems, design, and expert systems.

Innovations in Applied Artificial Intelligence

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Industrial and Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems, IEA/AIE 2004, held in Ottawa, Canada, in May 2004. The 129 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 208 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on neural networks, bioinformatics, data mining, general applications, autonomous agents, intelligent systems, knowledge processing and NLP, intelligent user interfaces, evolutionary computing, fuzzy logic, human-roboter interaction, computer vision and image processing, machine learning and case-based reasoning, heuristic search, security, Internet applications, planning and scheduling, constraint satisfaction, e-learning, expert systems, applications to design, machine learning, and image processing.
