electronic version of papers by the conference web page before December 23,
2003. The papers should be organized in accordance with a common scientific
structure (abstract, state of the art in the field, intention, used
methodology, obtained results and references). Papers will be refereed by an
international committee, and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit
and relevance to the conference topics. After the notification of acceptance
(February 16, 2004), authors will be allowed to make a correction in
accordance with the suggestions of the reviewers and submit final
camera-ready papers in Latex format only before March 8, 2004. The
conference proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag series
"Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence" and distributed among the
participants during the conference. Accepted papers must be presented by
author(s) personally to be published in the conference proceedings.

Venue
The conference is organized in Poland's premier mountain resort Zakopane,
the beautiful and picturesque capital of the Polish High Tatra Mountains.
Even though Zakopane is called Poland's winter capital, it is an excellent
place to visit in spring. Situated at the foot of the Tatra Mountains and
the Tatra National Park (with Poland's highest peak, Rysy mountain (2499m)),
it offers you a possibility to hike on over 240km of marked hiking trails
for beginners as well as experienced climbers and explore caves accessible
only in summer. The town is filled with historic monuments, museums, art
galleries and exhibitions. On your way to Zakopane you may visit Cracow, one
of the most historic Polish cities, with a wonderfully preserved old city
center and the largest medieval square in Europe.
