The International Conference on Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems (KES), formerly the International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems, etc.1), provides exciting opportunities for researchers to share ideas and find out about the latest developments in Intelligent Systems. Special features of KES conferences are the Invited Sessions on specific technical topics, organised and chaired by senior researchers with a special interest in the topic. This provides opportunities for sessions on new and emerging topics which might not be covered elsewhere.
Main organizer of the conference is KES International, founded in 2001. Prior to 2001 KES was organized by the Intelligent Signal Processing Laboratories at the University of Brighton, UK (2000), the Knowledge Based Intelligent Engineering Systems Centre (KES) of the University of South Australia (1998-2000), and the Electronics Association of South Australia (1997)
