ISMIS 2020

ISMIS is an established Artificial Intelligence conference for exchanging the latest research results in building intelligent systems. It provides a basis for exchanging research results and transport scientific achievements towards industrial applications. The scope of ISMIS is to present a wide range of topics related to the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques related to areas such as decision support, knowledge representation, logical programming, knowledge-based systems, machine learning, planning, computer vision, information retrieval, configuration and diagnosis. The conference also focus on interdisciplinary research in AI-related fields, for example, decision support systems and human decision making or recommender systems and human personality, and knowledge-based systems development and cognitive aspects of knowledge understanding.

 

 

Conference Theme

 

Motivated by recent developments in sub-symbolic AI and the continuous emergence of new application domains, this year's conference theme (represented by a special track) is "Towards explainable Artificial Intelligence". With this, ISMI2020 contributes to emerging challenges related to the explainability of system outputs which experience an increased relevance in areas such as autonomous driving, intelligent sales assistants, and different further application domains such as medicine, intelligent maintenance, and eLearning.

 

 

Topics of Interest

 

ISMIS 2020 is intended to attract individuals who are actively engaged both in theoretical and practical aspects of intelligent systems. The goal is to provide a platform for a useful exchange between theoreticians and practitioners, and to foster the cross-fertilization of ideas: Relevant conference topics include but are not limited to:

 

  • Explainable AI (XAI)
  • Machine Learning
  • Deep learning
  • Data Mining
  • Recommender Systems
  • Constraint based systems
  • Autonomous systems
  • Applications (Configuration, Internet of Things, Financial Services, e-Health...)
  • Intelligent user interfaces
  • User Modeling
  • Human computation
  • Socially-aware systems
  • Autonomous systems
  • Digital libraries
  • Intelligent Agents
  • Information Retrieval
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Knowledge Integration
  • Knowledge Visualization
  • Knowledge Representation
  • Soft Computing
  • Web & Text Mining

 

Publication

 

The ISMIS 2020 proceedings will be published by Springer in LNAI (Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence) and will be available at the conference. Authors of best papers will be invited to submit their extended versions to the Journal of Intelligent Information Systems (JIIS) published by Springer. Fast Track Processing will be used to have them reviewed and published.

 

 

Submission

 

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in LNCS/LNAI style (maximum 10 pages). All paper submissions will be handled electronically. All submissions will be subject to review by the ISMIS 2020 Program Committee. Papers should be submitted in PDF form via the ISMIS 2020 Online Submission System (EasyChair- submit here).

 

 

Paper submission deadline (via EasyChair): Jan. 10th, 2020.
