6th International Conference on Intelligent Decision Technologies
(IDT-2014)
Chania - Crete, Greece 18 - 20 June 2014
http://idt-14.kesinternational.org/
-------------------------------------------

We are delighted to invite contributions to the 6th International Conference on
Intelligent Decision Technologies, organised by KES International. IDT-2014 is an
international scientific conference for research in the area of Intelligent Decision
Technologies with subjects considering theory and application. This conference is
dedicated to improving decision making.

The conference is interdisciplinary in nature and will consist of keynote talks, oral and poster
presentations, invited sessions and workshops, on the applications and theory of intelligent
decision 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.

The conference will be co-located under the KES Smart Digital Futures umbrella with our other
Intelligent Systems conferences: IIMSS, AMSTA along with the new STET (Smart
Technology-based Education and Training) conference. Registration gives access to all of
these conferences, together with a paper published in one set of proceedings. Please see the
Smart Digital Futures website http://smartfutures.kesinternational.org for more information.

The conference proceedings will be published in the IOS Frontiers of Artificial Inteligence and
Applications series (FAIA), indexed in SciVerse Scopus, ACM Digital Library, DBLP,
Google Scholar and Zentralblatt MATH, and in previous years in ISI Conference Proceedings
Citation Index, CPCi (T-R decides on a year by year basis which conferences to index). In
addition, authors of selected high quality papers will be invited to submit a chapter for
publication in an edited book published by Springer.

Papers are invited on theoretical and applied topics related to the scope of the
conference.
