The book offers a selection of papers presented at the international symposium "Intelligent Information Systems X" held in Zakopane, Poland. The papers report on progress in theory and applications of broadly understood artificial intelligence, including machine learning, knowledge discovery, knowledge based systems and reasoning, intelligent statistical analysis and soft computing (i.e. fuzzy and rough sets, neural networks, evolutionary algorithms and artificial immune systems). Interesting new theoretical results are presented and their practical applicability demonstrated. The volume also...

This volume contains articles accepted for presentation during The Intel ligent Information Processing and Web Mining Conference IIS: IIPWM'04 which was held in Zakopane, Poland, on May 17-20, 2004. This conference is a continuation of a series of 13 successful symposia and conferrences on Intel ligent Information Systems, organized by the Institute of Computer Science of Polish Academy of Sciences, devoted to new trends in (broadly understood) Artificial Intelligence. The idea of organizing such meetings dates back to 1992. Our main in tention guided the first, rather small-audience,...
