Final Call For Papers

Sixth International Conference on
Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning (IDEAL'05)

6th - 8th July, 2005
Brisbane, Australia.

http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~ideal05/

==================================================================

IDEAL is an annual conference dedicated to emerging and
challenging topics in intelligent data analysis and engineering
and their associated learning paradigms. Following the highly
successful conferences held in Exeter (2004), Hong Kong (2003) and
Manchester (2002), the sixth conference (IDEAL'05) will be held in
the subtropical city of Brisbane, Australia's third-largest city.

IDEAL'05 provides an opportunity to present the latest theoretical
advances and real-world applications in intelligent data
engineering and automated learning.
