*** GENERAL INFORMATION ***
IDEAL is an annual conference dedicated to emerging and challenging topics in intelligent data analysis and engineering and their associated learning paradigms. Its recent events have enjoyed huge successes in many parts of the world such as Daejeon (2008), Birmingham (2007), Burgos (2006), Brisbane (2005), Exeter (2004), Hong Kong (2003), and Manchester (2002).

IDEAL 2009 will be held in the medieval capital of Spain, Burgos, for the second time thanks to its previous achievement. IDEAL 2009 will provide a stimulating and fruitful forum for presenting and discussing the latest theoretical advances and real-world applications in
Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning.

*** TOPICS ***
The main themes of the conference are (but not limited to):
LEARNING AND INFORMATION PROCESSING
DATA MINING & INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
BIOINFORMATICS & NEUROINFORMATICS
AGENTS & DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
FINANCIAL ENGINEERING AND MODELLING
