                  | Abstract: | One of the most promising methods of interacting 
                    with small portable computing devices, such as personal digital 
                    assistants, is the use of handwriting. In order to make this 
                    communication method more natural, we proposed to visually 
                    observe the writing process on ordinary paper and to automatically 
                    recover the pen trajectory from numerical tablet sequences. 
                    On the basis of this work we developed handwriting recognition 
                    system based on visual coding and genetic algorithm. The system 
                    was specialized on Arabic script. In this paper we will present 
                    the different steps of the handwriting recognition system. 
                    We focus our contribution on genetic algorithm method. |

                  | Abstract: | Temperature modelling of a homogeneous medium, 
                    when this medium is radiated by therapeutic ultrasound, is 
                    a fundamental step in order to analyse the performance of 
                    estimators for in-vivo modelling. In this paper punctual and 
                    invasive temperature estimation in a homogeneous medium is 
                    employed. Radial Basis Functions Neural Networks (RBFNNs) 
                    are used as estimators. The best fitted RBFNNs are selected 
                    using a Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA). An absolute 
                    average error of 0.0084 ºC was attained with these estimators. |

                  | Title: |  |  | Assessing the Reliability of Complex 
                    Networks through Hybrid Intelligent Systems |

                  | Abstract: | This paper describes the application of Hybrid 
                    Intelligent Systems in a new domain: reliability of complex 
                    networks. The reliability is assessed by employing two algorithms 
                    (TREPAN and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS)), 
                    both belonging to the Hybrid Intelligent Systems paradigm. 
                    TREPAN is a technique to extract linguistic rules from a trained 
                    Neural Network, whereas ANFIS is a method that combines fuzzy 
                    inference systems and neural networks. In the experiment presented, 
                    the structure function of the complex network analyzed is 
                    properly emulated by training both models on a subset of possible 
                    system configurations, generated by a Monte Carlo simulation 
                    and an appropriate Evaluation Function. The experiments show 
                    that, both approaches are able to successfully describe the 
                    network status through a set of rules, which allows the reliability 
                    assessment |

                  | Abstract: | In this paper we present an architecture for 
                    decision making of software agents that allows the agent to 
                    behave autonomously. Our target area is computational agents 
                    - encapsulating various neural networks, genetic algorithms, 
                    and similar methods - that are expected to solve problems 
                    of different nature within an environment of a hybrid computational 
                    multi-agent system. The architecture is based on the vertically-layered 
                    and belief-desire-intention architectures. Several experiments 
                    with computational agents were conducted to demonstrate the 
                    benefits of the architecture. |

                  | Title: |  |  | Neural Network Generating Hidden 
                    Markov Chain |

                  | Abstract: | In this paper we introduce technique how a neural 
                    network can generate a Hidden Markov Chain. We use a neural 
                    network called Temporal Information Categorizing and Learning 
                    Map. The network is an enhanced version of standard Categorizing 
                    and Learning Module (CALM). Our modifications include Euclidean 
                    metrics instead of weighted sum formerly used for categorization 
                    of the input space. Construction of a Hidden Markov Chain 
                    is provided by turning steady weight internal synapses to 
                    associative learning synapses. Result obtained form testing 
                    on simple artificial data promise applicability in a real 
                    problem domain. We present a visualization technique of the 
                    obtained Hidden Markov Chain and a method how the results 
                    can be validated. Experiments are being performed. |
