A. Intelligent Systems Architectures and Applications
B. Intelligent Image and Signal Processing
C. Intelligent Internet Modeling
D. Intelligent Data mining
E. Intelligent Business Systems
F. Intelligent Control and Automation
G. Intelligent Agents
H. Intelligent Knowledge Management

Organised Workshops:

* Workshop on Intelligent Systems in Bioinformatics

* Workshop on Evolutionary Design Automation
* Workshop on Collaborative System Design and Applications
* Workshop on Dynamical Intelligent Systems
* Workshop on Intelligent Text Categorization and Clustering
* Workshop on Nature-inspired Algorithms in Fuzzy Modeling
* Workshop on Innovative Applications of Data Mining in the Real World

*******************************************************

Prospective authors are invited to submit a:
- full paper of 6 pages (PDF), for oral presentation. Authors must use the
double columns IEEE format.

The submission of a paper implies that the paper is original and has not
been submitted under review or copyright protected by the author if
accepted. Besides papers in regular sessions, papers in in workshops are
also invited. All accepted papers will be included in the proceedings (main
and workshop tracks).

All papers should be submitted electronically via Online Paper Submission
System (http://www.isda07.eng.uerj.br/openconf/author/submit.php). The
format of the initial submissions can be PDF. The file of the final accepted
papers should be in either Word or Latex.

All submitted papers will be refereed by experts in the respective fields
according to the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and
clarity. The authors of accepted papers will have an opportunity to revise
their papers and take into consideration the referees' comments and
suggestions, before submitting the final papers. All accepted papers with
paid registration will be included in the Proceedings of ISDA'07, to be
published by IEEE Computer Science.

After the conference, authors of best papers will be invited to submit an
extended version of their papers for possible inclusion in the planned
special issues of a selection of international journals:

* Neurocomputing, Elsevier
* New Generation Computing, Ohmsha & Springer
* Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems, IOS
* International Journal of System and Science, Francis & Taylor

A specific research-topic focused books will be planned within the
Intelligent Systems Engineering Book Series (http://www.isebis.eng.uerj.br)
is also planned.
