                 SOME TOPICS RELATED TO INTELIGENT SYSTEMS

        Course organized in cooperation with the Spanish RIG of IEEE
                          Neural Network Council.
                         Almu�ecar (Granada, Spain)
                            15-19 September 1997
             CENTRO MEDITERRANEO DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE GRANADA
                        XIII Cursos Internacionales 1997

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE

     Intelligent systems are those man-made systems that show
     reasoning, learning from experience and rational decision making
     capabilities, without human intervention. The aim is to
     understand, and imitate as far as possible, the way human, animal
     and other biological systems evolve and learn procedures to solve
     difficult problems. In order to design these systems, besides the
     traditional numerical-symbolic computation, other paradigms are
     used: artificial neural networks (with their learning,
     generalization, adaptation and classification capabilities), fuzzy
     logic (which offers a methodology to deal with imprecision) and
     evolutionary computation (which is a valuable tool to solve
     optimization problems emulating Nature�s evolution). The above
     mentioned systems allow us to approach new applications in control
     theory, robotics, signal processing, business, financial planning
     and security, for instance. The purpose of this course is to give,
     in just a week, a broad background relevant to computer
     scientists, engineers, physicists, applied mathematicians,
     psychologists, and other profesionals.

     Location
          The course will be held in Almu�ecar, a small town lying in a
          tropical valley beside the Mediterranean. It is located between
          Granada (70 Km) with its Alhambra, and the cosmopolitan city of
          Malaga (80 Km.), and is just 90 minutes from the Sierra Nevada ski
          resort.

          Almu��car is characterized by its history and archeological
          remains, by its people, local customs and traditions. The layout
          strikes a happy balance between town and village. More than 12
          miles of beaches, backed by pinecovered cliffs create a seascape
          of outstanding natural beauty. There are exotic birds and tropical
          trees, ecological reserves and contrasting landscapes, horizons
          that let the imagination run free.The tourist facilities offer
          everything from buzzing nightlife to the peace and quiet of a
          relaxing break fromit all. In short, there is a complete range of
          leisure, pleasure and sporting possibilities.

          One of the charms of Almu�ecar is that the old town (built on two
          hills) retains its typical Andalusian look, with narrow streets of
          whitewashed houses, profusely decorated with flowers, and is
          almost completely pedestrianized. The development of the resort
          area, along the beachfront, has hardly affected the old town.

          (more information at: http://atc.ugr.es/almunecar/index.html)

     Transportation
          Almu��car is one hour from Granada Airport, and an hour and a
          quarter from Malaga International Airport. There is a bus service
          connecting Almu�ecar to these two cities. The taxi fare from
          Granada Airport to Almu�ecar is 9500 ptas., and from Malaga
          Airport, it is 9000 ptas.

          Bus timetable (winter schedule; in summer the frequency is
          higher):
          Granada-Almu��car 7:30 9:00 10:15 13:00 17:00 20:00
          M�laga-Almu��car3:00 7:00 11:00 12:30 13:30
