St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University "LETI" will host the XIII International Symposium "Intellectual Systems" (INTELS'2018) on October 22-24, 2018. The event, which is held every two years, is organized by ETU together with the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia and Bauman Moscow State Technical University with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. Russian Foundation for Basic Research supports symposium financially.

The honorary chair of the symposium is Konstantin Pupkov, Head of the Department of Cybernetics and Mechatronics of the Faculty of Engineering of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. The general chair is Askhat Diveev, Professor of the Department of Cybernetics and Mechatronics of Engineering Faculty of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. Vice сhairs are Viktor Sheludko, Rector of ETU "LETI"; Mikhail Kupriyanov, Acting Director of the Department of Education, Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science and Technology of ETU "LETI"; Evgeny Nikulchev, Vice-Rector for Research of the Moscow Technological Institute.

The organizing committee of the symposium includes professors from leading universities and research centers of Russia, the USA, Canada, Germany, the Czech Republic, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Kazakhstan, and Vietnam.

"Today, the country's leadership is giving priority to projects related to artificial intelligence. President Vladimir Putin said that who will be the leader in this field will own the world. The symposium "Intellectual systems - 2018" is devoted to the development of methods and theory of artificial intelligence, problems of their practical application in various fields - industrial, social, education, medicine and other. The event is of great interest to researchers and students, and it will bring together and become a platform for exchanging opinions, ideas and attracting young people to research in the field of intelligent systems."
