Objective:
The emphasis of this joint conference will be on adaptive, learning 
knowledge-based systems and on evolving intelligent systems, i.e. 
information systems that develop, unfold and evolve their structure and 
functionality over time through interaction with the environment.

The three days event will include tutorials, invited talks, oral 
presentations, poster presentations and various demonstrations of 
neuro-computing and hybrid systems for bioinformatics and biomedical 
applications; biometric and security, brain study and cognitive 
engineering, agriculture, environment, decision support, business and 
finance, speech-, image- and multimodal information processing, process 
control, arts and design.

Venue: Auckland, the City of Sails. The Auckland region is an antipasto 
of environments laid out on a huge platter to make one amazing city, 
boasting three harbours, two mountain ranges, 48 volcanic cones and more 
than 50 islands. Auckland's population is approximately 1.3 million, 
making it by far the largest city in New Zealand, with one third of the 
country's entire population.
