Intelligent Information Processing IFIP 17th World Computer Congress — TC12 Stream on Intelligent Information Processing August 25–30, 2002, Montréal, Québec, Canada

Intelligent Information Processing presents new research with special emphasis on knowledge-based system architecture and intelligent information management. The following topics are addressed:

-Agent-based Computing;
-Semantic Web and Learning;
-Ontology Management;
-Semantic Web Architecture;
-Knowledge-engineering Frameworks;
-Knowledge-system Structure;
-Data Mining;
-Methods and Tools for Identifying Communities of Practice; and
-Implementing Problem Solvers.
