Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their papers electronically through the following web site:
http://vlab.ee.nus.edu.sg/~isic2003/submission.htm. Standard submission by regular airmail is only accepted as a
last resort option and is accomplished by sending five copies of the complete manuscript by January 31, 2003. For
both types of submission, the first page of each manuscript must contain the title of the paper, the names and
affiliations of the authors and four keywords/phrases. In addition, please identify the corresponding author giving
full contact information, including fax and e-mail, if available, to whom all communications will be sent. Regular
papers, if submitted via airmail, should be addressed to the Program Chair Shuzhi Sam Ge.
Invited Sessions
The Program Committee also solicits proposals for invited sessions within the technical scope of the conference.
Each proposal for an invited session should describe the theme and scope of the proposed session and how the
papers form a cohesive and complementary group in the session topic. One session typically contains five-to-six
papers. The proposal must contain the title and theme of the session and a list of paper titles, names and email
addresses of the corresponding authors. Session proposals must be submitted online through
http://vlab.ee.nus.edu.sg/~isic2003/session-invited.htm by December 15, 2002. After this date, invited sessions
proposals can still be accepted as long as they are accompanied with full papers. Any inquiries regarding the
invited sessions should addressed to one of the Invited Sessions Co-Chairs Max Meng and Jie Huang. Invited
sessions on adaptive critics, multi-agent control, swarm intelligence, fault diagnosis, evolutionary control, and
control application in IVHS, robotics and process industry have been solicited and under planning.
Workshops and Tutorials
The Program Committee is also soliciting proposals for workshops and tutorials related to the theme and general
interests of the conference. Persons interested in organizing a pre-conference workshop or tutorial should contact
the Workshop Chair Kevin Moore. Workshops on embedded systems, multiresolutional analysis, predictive control
and intelligent robotics have been proposed and under review.

About Houston, the Site of the Conference
Houston is a world-class city that has something for everyone. The largest city in Texas and the fourth largest
metropolitan in the United States, this is a diverse, exciting community offering a large number of business and
social opportunities. Its economy is thriving, its downtown is flourishing and its parks and neighborhoods are
inviting.
The Westin Galleria Houston is the perfect place for meeting. With great restaurants within walking distances,
fabulous shops right inside the Uptown Galleria, and adjacent wide variety of entertainment experience in the
Richmond Entertainment District, the Westin Galleria is the center of all. Tour NASA Space Center Houston or
catch a performance of the well-renowned ballet, opera, symphony, or theater in the Theater District. If tempted,
Moody Garden at Galveston Island is within a driving distance. Water your imagination and travel the oceans of
the world at The Aquarium. Step into the Rainforest Pyramid with thousands of tropical plants, exotic fish, birds
and butterflies. Explore living in the stars at the Discovery Museum and take a rocking and rolling ride through
the universe at the IMAX Ridefilm Theater, just to name a few. Houston can be conveniently reached from all
over the world through its world-class Bush International Airport and Hobby Airport.
