HIS'01 is an International Workshop  that brings together researchers, developers, practitioners, and users of neural networks, fuzzy inference systems, evolutionary algorithms, agents, logic programming, and several other intelligent computing  techniques. The aim of  HIS'01 is to serve as a forum to present current and future work as well as to exchange research ideas in this field.

HIS'01 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work that demonstrate current research using hybrid computing techniques and their applications in science, technology, business and commercial. 

Plenary Talk I,  Innovations in Hybrid Intelligent Systems,  

L. Jain, University of South Australia, Adelaide.

Plenary Talk II, Integrated Soft Computing for Petroleum Engineering, T.D.Gedeon, Murdoch University, Australia

Workshop Venue (University of Adelaide)

Registration: Room EM 205

HIS'01 parallel streams A, B and C: Room EM  212, EM  213 and EM  218
