This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th
International Conference on Conceptual Structures, ICCS 2000, held in
Darmstadt, Germany in August 2000. The 38 revised full papers
presented have been carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in
the proceedings. The book is divided in topical sections on concepts
and language, conceptual onthology, conceptual graphs, formal
semantics of conceptual structures, contextual logic and formal
concept analysis, conceptual structures in practice, and computational
aspects of conceptual structures.

 Written for: Researchers

 The book introduces and discusses the future trends in computer 
 science and artificial intelligence. These trends include image and
 speech technologies; virtual reality and multimedia systems; evolving
 systems and artificial life; artificial and natural neural networks;
 brain-computers; the Web, the intelligent agents on it, and the
 distributed processing systems; mobile robots in a real and in a
 virtual environment; bioinformatics, and the marriage of genetic
 engineering and information science. The book comprises chapters
 written by well-known specialists in this field and can be used by
 scientists and graduate students from different areas, as well as by
 a wider audience of people interested in the present and future
 development of intelligent systems, in all areas of information
 sciences.

 Keywords: Intelligent Information Systems, Speech Technology, Image
 Technology, Multimedia, Bioinformatics, Genetic Engineering, WWW
