Information is widely available and accessible but often leads to information overload and overexposure, while the effort for coding, storing, securing, transmitting, and retrieving it may be excessive. Intelligence is needed to manage information and extract knowledge from it, inspired by biological and other paradigms. Multimedia systems and networks with increasing levels of intelligence are being developed that incorporate these advances. As a result, new technologies, protocols, and applications are emerging.

The International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems and Applications (IISA) provides a forum for the exchange of ideas among scientists and practitioners from diverse fields such as computer science, mathematics, physics, biology, medicine, chemistry, psychology, social sciences, linguistics, and engineering. The goal is to develop methodologies and tools to solve complex problems in areas including artificial intelligence, neuroscience, security, healthcare, sustainability, education, commerce, automation, robotics, optimization, image, speech, and natural language processing, and their integration.
