The papers in this volume are the referred Applications papers presented
at ES 2002, the Twenty-second SGES international Conference on Knowledge
Based Systems and Applied Artificial Intelligence, to be held in Cambridge
during December 2002.
The Application stream is the largest annual showcase in Europe of real
applications using AI technology. Papers presented in this volume
describe the application of AI to address real-world problems, including
commerce, manufacturing and defence and every major AI technique; and
highlight critical areas of success (and failure) and present the benefits
and lessons of value to other developers.
This is the tenth volume in the Applications and Innovations in
Intelligent Systems series. The series serves as a key reference as to
how AI technology has enabled organisations to solve complex problems and
gain significant business benefits.
The Technical Stream papers are published as a companion volume under the
