Preface

摘要

CISIM 2018 was the 17th of a series of conferences dedicated to computer information systems and industrial management applications. The conference was supported by Springer LNCS Information Systems. This year it was held during September 27-29, 2010, in Olomouc, Czech Republic, at Palacky University Olomouc. More than 70 papers were submitted to CISIM by researchers and scientists from a number of reputed universities around the world. These scientific and academic institutions belong to Australia, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Tunisia, and the USA. Most of the papers were of high quality, but only 69 of them were sent for peer review. Each paper was assigned to at least two referees initially, and the accept decision was taken after receiving two positive reviews. In the case of conflicting decisions, another expert's review was sought for the respective papers. In total, about 150 reviews and comments were collected from the referees for the submitted papers. In order to maintain the guidelines of Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, the number of accepted papers was limited. Furthermore, a number of electronic discussions were held by the Program Committee (PC) chairs to decide about papers with conflicting reviews and to reach a consensus. After the discussions, the PC chairs decided to accept for publication in the proceedings book the best 42 of the total submitted papers. The main topics covered by the chapters in this book are biometrics, security systems, multimedia, classification and clustering, and industrial management. Besides these, the reader will find interesting papers on computer information systems as applied to wireless networks, computer graphics, and intelligent systems.
