The 2004 IFIP International Conference on Intelligence in Communication
Systems (INTELLCOMM 04)
23 - 26 November 2004, Bangkok, Thailand
http://cs.shinawatra.ac.th/intellcomm04/


The Internet and Web provide more connection facilities, hence the
interactions between man-man, man-machine and machine-machine will increase
and communication will have an important role in modern systems. In order to
obtain effective and efficient communication, artistic, social and technical
issues have to be tackled in a holistic and integrated manner.
Unfortunately, communication techniques, concepts and solutions which have
been developed so far treat these issues separately, so that there arises a
need for communication researchers and practitioners in different fields
(engineering, science and arts) to meet, share their experience and explore
all possibilities of developing integrated and advanced solutions which
incorporate ideas from such disciplines as communication arts, art design,
linguistics, Web technologies, telecommunications, computer science and
artificial intelligence.

The 2004 IFIP conference on Intelligence in Communication Systems
(INTELLCOMM ?04) is jointly sponsored by IFIP WG 6.7: Smart Networks and WG
6.4: Internet Applications Engineering. The conference will be held at
Shinawatra University, Bangkok, Thailand during 23-27 November 2004. Its
main objective is to provide an international forum which brings academia,
researchers, practitioners and service providers together. The discussion
areas will cover the latest research topics and advanced technological
solutions in the area of Intelligent Communication Systems, ranging from
Architectures for Adaptable Networks and Services and Semantic Web and Web
Service Technologies to Applications, Information Management and Security
and Intelligent Service Application Interface and Intelligent Human
Interaction.

The conference will involve the three distinct meetings: tutorial, technical
and poster sessions. The first will cover both theoretical and practical
aspects of selected topics, the second will present papers on the latest
research results highlighting the state of the art in all aspects of
intelligent communication systems, the third will outline research plans and
proposals.
