Intelligent Information Processing III: IFIP TC12 International Conference on Intelligent Information Processing (IIP 2006), September 20-23, Adelaide, Australia

As the world proceeds quickly into the Information Age, it encounters both successes and challenges, and it is well recognized that Intelligent Information Processing provides the key to the Information Age and to mastering many of these challenges. Intelligent Information Processing supports the most advanced productive tools that are said to be able to change human life and the world itself. However, the path is never a straight one and every new technology brings with it a spate of new research problems to be tackled by researchers. As such, the demand for Information Processing research is ever-increasing.

This book presents the proceedings of the 4th IFIP International Conference on Intelligent Information Processing. This conference provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, university and industry to present their latest research findings in all aspects of Intelligent Information Processing.
