Aims and Scope
--------------------------------------------------------

Organized at a regular two-year interval, the IPMU 
International Conference deals with the difficulties 
existing in the acquisition, representation, management 
and transmission of data in knowledge-based and 
decision-making systems. It brings together researches 
working on various methodologies for the management of 
uncertain information and provides a useful exchange 
between theorists and practitioners using these different
methodologies.


--------------------------------------------------------
Topics of particular interest
--------------------------------------------------------

* Uncertainty Methods:

Measures of Information and Uncertainty, Bayesian and 
Probabilistic Methods, Fuzzy Methods, Mathematical Theory of 
Evidence, Belief Networks, Chaos Theory.

* Non-standard Logics:

Non-monotonic Logics, Approximate Reasoning, Multivalued 
Logics, Modal Logics, Temporal Reasoning, Case-based 
Reasoning.

* Knowledge Acquisition and Representation:

Machine Learning, Inductive Methods, Commonsense Knowledge, 
Intelligent Databases and Information Systems.

* Intelligent Systems:

Fuzzy Control, Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms and 
Evolutionary Computation, Expert Systems under Uncertainty, 
Decision Support Systems, Multicriteria and Group Decision 
Making, Pattern Recognition, Image Processing, 
Classification, Belief Updating and Inconsistency Handling.

I am relatively new to programming in AI.  I have read a few descriptions of
roughly how genetic algorthms work, can someone point me to a beginner text
on implementing them?  Thanks.
