**KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT - THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 
WAY**  

International Workshop on Intelligent Knowledge
Management 
Techniques (I-KOMAT’ 2002) is a technical forum for
exchanging 
current and future research results /ideas involving
Computational 
Intelligence for identification, analysis and control
of knowledge 
assets and processes. The scope of I-KOMAT’ 2002
covers both 
design and application aspects of various Artificial
Intelligence 
Techniques like Artificial Neural Networks, Fuzzy
Systems, 
Evolutionary algorithms, Hybrid systems, Agents,
Support 
Vector Machine etc. 

I-KOMAT’ 2002 offers an Interdisciplinary Platform to
all 
researchers, developers and practitioners dealing with
AI 
based modeling, ontology and planning techniques 
supporting knowledge management.

Authors are invited to submit their original and
unpublished 
work that demonstrate current research in all areas of

computational intelligence including design of
artificial 
neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary
algorithms, 
hybrid systems, agents, and their applications to
knowledge 
management. 



Topics of interest include but not limited to: 

*Design and modeling aspects of the following
Computational 
  Intelligence Techniques and their applications to
science, technology, 
  commerce, social science and economics:

-Artificial Neural Networks and Probabilistic
Reasoning
-Genetic Algorithms 
-Evolution Strategies
-Genetic Programming
-Evolutionary Programming
-Learning Classifiers
-Fuzzy Systems including Fuzzy logic and possibility 
theory, Fuzzy expert systems, Fuzzy system modeling 
and simulation
-Hybrid Soft Computing Techniques like Neuro-Fuzzy, 
fuzzy-GA, GA-Fuzzy etc.
-Intelligent Agents including Multi-Agents, Autonomous
Agents 
and Cooperative Agents
-Support Vector Machines
-Bayesian networks and probabilistic reasoning
-Rough sets
-Case-based Reasoning

*Data and Knowledge Representation: planning and
description logics

*Data and knowledge visualization

*Knowledge acquisition 

*Models and frameworks of Data Mining techniques

*Reasoning methods and technologies

*Knowledge and belief, belief revision and update,
non-monotonic 
formalisms, uncertainty
