2007 International Conference on Adaptive Business Systems (ICABS’2007)

Chengdu, China, 22-24 July 2007

http://xiaglow-research.org.uk/ICABS2007/

Technical Co-Sponsored by
IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (pending)
System and Information Sciences Notes (SISN Journal, ISSN 1753-2310)

Information Technologies in their most broadened senses powered by the 
Next Generation Internet have been profoundly changing the ways, the 
processes and the philosophies of businesses. Business systems in every 
perspective, management, workflow, information, infrastructure, 
automation, etc. are evolving themselves towards being autonomic, 
adaptive, self-managing, self-organizing, and so forth.

As a timely response to these developing trends both in academics, 
businesses and industries, the 2007 International Conference on Adaptive 
Business Systems (ICABS’2007) aims to provide a focal forum for active 
researchers, practitioners, business and industrial professionals and 
academics from diversified domains and with diversified backgrounds to 
get together, to share latest research achievements and practical 
experiences, to exchange in-depth findings and innovative ideas, and in 
particular to harness the greatest challenges and think seriously into 
the future.

We have been looking forward to seeing you at ICABS'2007. Chengdu 
welcomes you!
