Scope
------------------------------------------------------------------
Intelligent Systems are those that incorporate aspects usually
associated with intelligent human behaviour, such as perception,
reasoning, learning, evolution, adaptation, autonomy, social
interaction and pro-activity. Historically speaking, this is one
of the main focuses of interest in Artificial Intelligence.
However, the dynamic contemporary world has turned such
characteristics a requirement in virtually every information
system. As time evolves and given the fast technological
development, intelligent systems are becoming even more feasible
as they take part in our daily lives. Additionally, their great
potential of application in different knowledge areas and sectors
of the society turns its development even more interdisciplinary,
with contributions from many different areas, not only
engineering, computer science and informatics, but also from human
and social sciences.

This workshop is aimed at building an adequate forum for the
discussion of the many aspects related to the creation and
development of intelligent systems, both from a theoretical
perspective and from the practical exemplification of their
potential applications. We intend to gather the scientific
community, industry and society to discuss on the state-of-the-art
models and architectures, as well as on paradigms and frontiers
that motivate much of the advance of intelligent systems. Areas
such as Artificial Intelligence, computing theories and models of
the human cognition, knowledge representation and engineering,
information infrastructure and distributed intelligent systems on
the Web are some of the areas to be explored and deepen in this
workshop.


Topics of Interest
------------------------------------------------------------------
The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not
limited to the following areas:

* Artificial Intelligence
* Agent technology and multi-agent systems
* Cognitive and adaptive robotics
* Knowledge-based systems
* Machine learning
* Electronic Commerce
* Adaptive business intelligence
* Semantic Web and Ontologies
* Information retrieval
* Data and knowledge engineering
* Knowledge discovery from databases
* Data mining and OLAP
* Human-Computer Interaction
* Ubiquitous computing and mobile systems
* Service oriented architectures
* Expert and decision support systems
* Intelligent entertainment systems
* Evolutionary computing and other bio-inspired models


Paper Submission and Formatting Guidelines
------------------------------------------------------------------
We invite prospective authors to submit their contributions, not
yet published, reporting on either work under development or
concluded projects about theoretical aspects or practical
applications related to the topics of the workshop. Contributions
can be submitted in one of the three formats of the Conference,
namely as full paper (6 pages), as short paper (4 pages), or as
poster (2 pages).

The paper preparation must follow the formatting guidelines of the
Conference (DOT, PDF), and should be written either in Portuguese,
in Spanish, or in English. All contributions must be submitted in
PDF format, through the EasyChair platform
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wisa20110).

At least three members from the workshop’s Programme Committee will
assess and comment on each submission, following a "blind-review"
process. Therefore, authors should take special care to delete
their names and affiliation from the paper during the reviewing
phase, as well as obfuscate any other references in the text that
can possibly identify them.
