Intelligent systems refer broadly to computer embedded or controlled systems, machines and devices that possess a certain degree of intelligence with the capacity to gather and analyse data and communicate with other systems. There is a growing interest in developing intelligent technologies that enable users to accomplish complex tasks in different environments with relative ease.

The Fourth International Symposium on Intelligent Systems Technologies and Applications (ISTA'18) aims to bring together researchers in related fields to explore and discuss various aspects of intelligent systems technologies and their applications. The Symposium will provide excellent opportunities for the presentation of interesting new research results and discussion about them, leading to knowledge transfer and the generation of new ideas. All accepted papers will be published in the Symposium proceedings.

ISTA’18 is co-affiliated with the International Conference on Applied Soft computing and Communication Networks (ACN'18), September 19-22, 2018, Bangalore, India . The symposium will feature plenary/keynote talks, workshops, demonstrations, parallel technical sessions and tutorials.

The Conference will be held at PES Institute of Technology (South Campus), Bangalore, India during September 19-22, 2018. Bangalore is capital city of the Southern state of Karnataka, India. It is Asia's fastest growing cosmopolitan city. It is home to some of the very well known high tech industries in India. Bangalore is known as Silicon city of India. Bangalore is also home to some of India's premier scientific establishments. Bangalore is blessed with a moderate climate, gardens & parks, natural lakes, architectural landmarks, shopping malls, the best restaurants and more.
