The combination of different intelligent methods is a very active research area in Artificial Intelligence (AI). The aim is to create integrated or hybrid methods that benefit from each of their components. It is generally believed that complex problems can be easier solved with such integrated or hybrid methods. Some of the existing efforts combine what are called soft computing methods (fuzzy logic, neural networks and genetic algorithms) either among themselves or with more traditional AI technologies such as logic and rules. Another stream of efforts integrates case-based reasoning and machine learning with soft-computing and traditional AI methods. Yet another integrates agent-based approaches with logic and also non-symbolic approaches. Some of the combinations have been quite important and more extensively used, like neuro-symbolic methods, neuro-fuzzy methods and methods combining rule-based and case-based reasoning. However, there are other combinations that are still under investigation, such as those related to the Semantic Web. In some cases, combinations are based on first principles, but in most cases they are created in the context of specific applications. The Workshop is intended to become an annual forum for exchanging experience andideas among researchers and practitioners who are dealing with combining intelligentmethods either based on first principles or in the context of specific applications.
Submission Guidelines
We are interested in high quality research papers on the workshop topics. Interested authors are invited to submit original contributions to the workshop. The papers should not exceed 10 pages (following KES guidelines: http://kes2017.kesinternational.org/submission.php). All contributions should be submitted in pdf format at http://kes2017.kesinternational.org/prose.php (Choose "Paper Submission" under "Invited Sessions" section and then at "Session Name" choose "WS01: ..."). All papers will be refereed by at least two members of the program committee of the Workshop. Accepted papers will be presented at the Workshop sessions of the conference.
