Preface
The biennial Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence (SBIA 2002) – of
which this is the 16th event – is a meeting and discussion forum for artificial
intelligence researchers and practitioners worldwide. SBIA is the leading conference in Brazil for the presentation of research and applications in artificial
intelligence. The first SBIA was held in 1984, and since 1995 it has been an
international conference, with papers written in English and an international
program committee, which this year was composed of 45 researchers from 13
countries. SBIA 2002 was held in conjunction with the VII Brazilian Symposium
on Neural Networks (SBRN 2002). SBRN 2002 focuses on neural networks and
on other models of computational intelligence.
SBIA 2002, supported by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), was held
in Porto de Galinhas/Recife, Brazil, 11–14 November 2002. The call for papers
was very successful, resulting in 146 papers submitted from 18 countries. A total
of 39 papers were accepted for publication in the proceedings. We would like to
thank the SBIA 2002 sponsoring organizations, CNPq, Capes, and CESAR, and
also all the authors who submitted papers. In particular, we would like to thank
the program committee members and the additional referees for the difficult
task of reviewing and commenting on the submitted papers. We are also very
grateful to our colleagues who provided invaluable organizational support and
to Richard van de Stadt, the author of the Cyberchair system, a free software
under GNU General Public License, that supported all the review process and
the preparation of the proceedings.
