This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the 13th International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems ISMIS 2002, held in Lyon, France, 27-29 June, 2002. The symposium was organized by the UniversitO Claude Bernard Lyon 1, the UniversitO Lumiere Lyon 2, l'Institut National des Sciences AppliquOes de Lyon, and hosted by the UniversitO Claude Bernard Lyon 1. The ISMIS conference series was started in 1986 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Since then it has been held in Charlotte (North Carolina), Knoxville (Tennessee), Turin (Italy), Trondheim (Norway), Warsaw (Poland), and Zakopane (Poland). The program committee selected the following major areas for ISMIS 2002: Intelligent Multimedia, Intelligent Information Retrieval, Intelligent Information Systems, Knowledge Representation and Integration, Learning and Knowledge Discovery, Logic for Artificial Intelligence, Methodologies (modeling, design, validation, performance evaluation), and Soft Computing. The contributed papers were selected from approximately 160 full draft papers by the following program committee: L. Carlucci Aiello, N. Belkhiter, P. Berka, E. Bertino, P. Bosc, H. Briand, J. Calmet, S.Carberry, L. Carbonara, B. Catania, T. Catarci, N.J. Cercone, J. Chen, W. Chu, L. De Raedt, J. Debenham, R. Demolombe, B.C. Desai, E. El-Kwae, T. Elomaa, P. Emmerman, F. Esposito, J. Fan, P.A. Flach, P. Gallinari, A. Giordana, M.-S. Hacid, M. Hadzikadic, H.J. Hamilton, D. Hislop, C.A. Johnson, W. Kloesgen, Y. Kodratoff, L. Lakhal, T.Y. Lin, D. Malerba, D. Maluf, S. Matwin, R. Meersman, R.S. Michalski, S. Miguet, M. Mukaidono, N. Nicoloyannis, S. Ohsuga, L.

This book contains the proceedings of the 5th European Working Session on Learning (EWSL-91), which describes the most recent advances in the field, especially those originating from European research groups. The topics have been divided into groups covering new trends in machine learning (ML), such as in multi-strategy learning, inversion of resolution and multi-agents, as well as established topics such as discovery, numeric and statistical approaches, theorem proving and explanation-based learning, and case-based reasoning.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 7th European Knowledge Acquisition Workshop (EKAW '93), held in Toulouse and Caylus, France, in September 1993. EKAW '93 focused on knowledge acquisition for knowledge-based systems. Besides a scientific workshop on the subject, there was also a users' forum open to the public. This proceedings volume includes two surveys by Guy Boy and Brian Gaines and is divided into two sections: problem solving models, including building steps, support tools and the comparison of approaches; and life cycles and methodologies, including refinement, workbenches and elicitation techniques.
