      2) NEW! POSITIONS related to Neural Nets, Fuzzy Systems, EC (See below)
 
                            ******

After the general success of the previous WSES conferences in Computational 
Intelligence (or if you prefer Soft Computing), we would like to invite each of 
you to 
contribute or simply to attend the 2002 WSES triplet of conferences NNA, FSFS, 
EC. Of 
course, all the accepted papers will be published not only in the usual 
conference 
proceedings, but also in the luxurious WSES Press International Books. Some 
special 
issues have been already scheduled in collaborating journals! Also, you will 
attend 
plenary lectures from the leaders of our area as well as social and cultural 
activities 
of high academical standards!

These will be different International Editions (with different ISBN).
This material will be distributed to the participants.

Also SPECIAL ISSUES have been scheduled for:
a)NEURAL NETWORKS WORLD
b)IJCR (INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR COMPUTER RESEARCH)

In the conference, we have also the participation of 
WSES Sectors of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,
Chemical Engineering, Oceanic Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, 
and the active participation of 
WSES Soft Computing Technical Committee, WSES Automatic Control Technical 
Committee
and WSES Computer Science Technical Committee!

TOPICS FOR EACH CONFERENCE: See the web

INTERLAKEN (Switzerland):
Lord Byron, famously remarked "it's a dream" on first seeing the place. Boat 
cruises on 
famous lakes, spectacular skiing in the Alps, attractive winter sports, 
water-based 
activities, excellent hotels, cosmopolitan life. The name 'Interlaken' actually 
means 
"between the lakes" - Lake Thun and Lake Brienz to be precise and water is 
omnipresent 
throughout the area with idyllic clear mountain streams and waterfalls running 
off the 
hills and into the lakes. This unique place in amazing Switzerland, will host 
the 
successfull WSES Conferences on Soft Computing and Artificial Intelligence in 
2002!

The Department of Aerospace, Power and Sensors at Cranfield
University, The Royal Military College of Science (RMCS) Shrivenham,
England invites applications for PhD research studentships into
multiple intelligent software agents (MISA).
The first studentship will focus on using soft computing techniques
such as fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, evolutionary
algorithms etc as a basis for the MISA.
The second studentship is focused on designing MISA via temporal
logic combined with discrete event systems.

          Position in Process Control & Optimization
          Buhler Corporate Technology in Uzwil, Switzerland

The research unit Process Optimization is concerned, in a broad sense, with 
the improvement of numerous physical and planning processes through well-
founded modeling, control, fault diagnosis, production optimization and the 
like. This is achieved by using classical methods of control engineering as 
well as the so-called intelligent methods (neural networks, fuzzy logic, 
expert systems, genetic methods, etc.) that are specially suited for the 
complex conditions governing our processes.
