1st KES International Symposium on
INTELLIGENT DECISION TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS (KES-IDT-09)
Himeji, Japan
April 23-25, 2009


KES-IDT-2009 is an international scientific symposium for research in the field of intelligent technologies related to decision making. The aim of the symposium is to provide an internationally respected forum for scientific research in technologies and applications related to decision making such as agents, multi-agent systems, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, neural networks, and expert systems.

Intelligent decision technologies include a broad range of methodologies with the potential to support human and automated decision making. The focus is interdisciplinary in nature, and includes all aspects from fundamental development to applied systems.? This symposium will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers to discuss modern approaches and techniques for intelligent decision technologies and their applications.

KES-IDT-2009 is organized by the University of Hyogo and Himeji City in conjunction with KES International. The conference will take place in Himeji, Japan. Accepted papers will be published by Springer as a chapter in a book, and outstanding papers will be reviewed for publication in Intelligent Decision Technologies: An International Journal (IDT) published by IOSPress.
