We are pleased to invite participation in KES2008 organized by the University of Zagreb and its Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in conjunction with KES International. The conference will take place in Zagreb, the capital of the Republic of Croatia. Zagreb is an old Central European city located on the intersection of important routes between the Adriatic coast and Central Europe. The conference will consist of keynote talks, oral and poster presentations, invited sessions and workshops, on the applications and theory of intelligent systems and related areas. It will provide excellent opportunities for the presentation of interesting new research results and discussion about them, leading to knowledge transfer and generation of new ideas.
