Preface
“Human knowledge and human power meet in one, because where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced.” Francis Bacon The 16th International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems (ISMIS 2006) held in Bari, Italy, September 27–29, 2006, presented works performed by many scientists, worldwide on the development and exploitation of intelligent methods for solving complex problems. Starting from 1986, the ISMIS series has been held in Knoxville (USA), Charlotte (North Carolina), Turin (Italy), Trondheim (Norway), Warsaw (Poland), Zakopane (Poland), Lyon (France), Maebashi City (Japan) and Saratoga Springs (USA). Among more than 200 submissions, the Program Committee selected, based on the opinion of at least two reviewers, 81 contributions, to be presented as long papers (if containing more complete work), or as short papers (if reporting about ongoing research). Many topics of interest to Artificial Intelligence research were covered: Active Media Human–Computer Interaction, Computational Intelligence, Intelligent Agent Technology, Intelligent Information Retrieval, Intelligent Information Syst
