SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS AND EXTENSION OF SUBMISSION DEADLINE

*********************************************************************
IAS-8: 8th Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems March 10-13,
2004, Amsterdam, the Netherlands: www.ias8.org
*********************************************************************

The organizing committee would like to invite you to submit a paper
to the IAS-8 conference in Amsterdam in March 2004. For your
convenience the deadline for paper submission to IAS-8 has been
extended to: Sept 29, 2003.


IAS-8 brings the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Conference back to
Amsterdam, the city which also hosted the first two IAS
conferences. The focus of these conferences is on intelligent
systems that can directly sense and act in their own environment
without demanding detailed supervision from humans. These systems
are beginning to enter our daily life in ambient intelligence
applications. Many new challenges are emerging to create systems
that can operate and interact in human inhabited environments.
