Paper Submission and Publication
The working language of the conference is English. Only original, unpublished papers in the
aforementioned fields are invited.Authors should submit 3 hard copies of full papers (up to six pages)
to the conference office and an electronic version to: [email protected] before February 15,
2002. The papers should be organized in accordance with a common scientific structure (abstract,
state of the art in the field, intention, used methodology, obtained results and references). Papers will
be refereed by an international committee, and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and
relevance to the conference topics. After the notification of acceptance (March 30, 2002), authors
will be allowed to make a correction in accordance with the suggestions of the reviewers and submit
final camera-ready papers before May 5, 2002. Abstracts of accepted papers will be available during
the conference in the form of a brochure. The conference proceedings will be published in the
Springer-Verlag series “Advances in Soft Computing” and distributed among the participants after

Venue
The conference is organized in Poland's premier mountain resort Zakopane, the beautiful and picturesque capital of
the Polish High Tatra Mountains. Even though Zakopane is called Poland's winter capital, it is an excellent place to
visit in spring. Situated at the foot of the Tatra Mountains and the Tatra National Park (with Poland's highest peak,
Rysy mountain (2499m)), it offers you a possibility to hike on over 240km of marked hiking trails for beginners as
well as experienced climbers and explore caves accessible only in summer. The town is filled with historic
monuments, museums, art galleries and exhibitions. On your way to Zakopane you may visit Cracow, one of the most
historic Polish cities, with a wonderfully preserved old city center and the largest medieval square in Europe.
