AIMS AND SCOPE

Information Sciences is designed to inform researchers, developers,
managers, strategic planners, and others interested in state-of-the art
research activities in intelligent systems and engineering.  Readers are
assumed to have a common interest in information science, but with diverse
backgrounds in fields such as engineering, mathematics, statistics,
physics, computer science, library science, cognitive science, brain
mapping, and behavioral sciences. The journal publishes high-quality,
refereed articles. It emphasizes a balanced coverage of both theory and
practice. 

The journal recognizes three major sections, knowingly:

     Information Sciences Intelligent Systems, covering the following
     subjects:

     Study of information flow, knowledge engineering, decision support
     systems, computation in complex systems with an emphasis on the
     appropriate mathematical and quantitative methods.
     MainTopics include:
     Neural Computation and Neural Networks, Theories of Qualitative
     Behavior, Fuzzy Logmming and Computing, Articifical Iand
     Experimentation of Algorithmic and System Learning, and
     Self-Adaptation, Combinations of Symbolic/Numeric and Statistical
     Techniques, Methods for data fusion, Combination of Discrete Even
     Systems and other Dynamic System Methodologies.

     Information Sciences Applications: This section focuses on the
     state-of-the-art applications of informatics and computer theory, and
     intelligent systems research.
     Main Topics include:
     Artificial Life, Cognitive Science, Pattern Recognition, Behavioral
     Science, Business Management, Data analysis/compression, Databases
     and information retrieval, decision making/support systems, Expert
     Systems, Fuzzy Controllers, Genetic Algorithms, Human-Computer
     Interface, Robotics and Automation, Virtual Reality.

     Informatics and Computer Science:
     Main Topics include:
     Computational Theory, Design of Algorithms, Software Design,
     Computer Systems and Architectures, Evaluation Methods and Tools.
