IDA-2001 will take place in Lisbon from 13th to 15th September 2001, and is organised by the Department of Computer Science of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the New University of Lisbon. It will consist of a stimulating program of invited talks by leading international experts in intelligent data analysis, contributed papers, poster sessions, and an exciting social program.Our aim is for IDA-2001 to bring together a wide variety of researchers concerned with extracting knowledge from data, including people from statistics, machine learning, neural networks, computer science, pattern recognition, database management, and other areas. The strategies adopted by people from these areas are often different, and a synergy results if this is recognised. IDA-2001 is intended to stimulate interaction between these different areas, so that more powerful tools emerge for extracting knowledge from data and a better understanding is developed of the process of intelligent data analysis.
It is the Fourth Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis after the successful symposia IDA-99 (Amsterdam) , IDA-97 (London) , and IDA-95 (Baden-Baden).
The proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series of Springer. The proceedings of Intelligent Data Analysis 97 and 99 appeared in this series as LNCS 1280 and LNCS 1642 . IDA 2001 will be included among the list of Forthcoming Proceedings of Springer .
We also plan to have a special issue of the Intelligent Data Analysis journal with extended versions of a number of papers presented during the symposium.
