They made their reports with new scientific and applied results.

On the plenary and sectional meetings of the conference were listened 137 reports and announcements, were discussed numerous problems as well as perspectives of Artificial Intelligence Systems development.

Nine sections, functioning simultaniously, included the following topics of interest:

1. Conceptual principles of artificial intelligence.
2. Intelligence multiprocessor systems.
3. Hardware-software and mathematical means of artificial intelligence and their application.
4. Algorithmic and mathematical bases of artificial intelligence. Optimization of calculations.
5. Computerization of natural languages.
6. Intellectual robots.
7. Recognition of images.
8. Multiagent systems. Safety of information technologies.
9. Neuroprocessor systems.

Within the framework of the conference the following working tables were organized: "Computerization of natural languages", "Neuronet technologies and artificial consciousness", "Meeting of leading scientists with scientific youth".

The participants of the conference showed high activity and great interest. There was an intensive exchange of opinions and information between the participants. More than 68 young scientists, teachers and post-graduates took part in the work of the conference.

Materials of the conference are published in:

1. The collection of thesis reports of the conference (SRI MCS TRTU, Taganrog, Russia).
2. International scientific-theoretical journal "Artificial intelligence" (IAI, Donetsk, Ukraine. Reports were put into a shape of scientific articles).

The following has been marked:

1. Researches and developments in the field of artificial intelligence, intellectual systems, computer technologies and adjacent spheres are really actual and appreciably determine the basic direction of modern world scientific progress.
2. The great experience and significant volume of theoretical and applied researches in the field of artificial intelligence are accumulated in Ukraine, Russian Federation and in other CIS countries. There is also highly skilled staff of scientists and experts possessing great scientific potential.
3. It is necessary to pay attention to perfection of new conceptual basis of intellectual systems, new generations of multiprocessing, information and robotics systems, possessing technical hearing, sight, artificial consciousness, opportunities of images recognition training.
4. Available theoretical and experimental results of researches allow creating of highly parallel multiprocessing intellectual systems industrial samples in the nearest years, exceeding already existing modern analogues according to its parameters.

Participants of the conference have taken the decision:

1. To continue theoretical and applied researches in the field of artificial intelligence systems creation, computer technologies, modern computer technical equipment; to exchange experience and results of researches at joint conferences, symposiums, seminars periodically. It is recognized expedient to continue perfection of terminological and conceptual device of the scientific researches connected to creation of systems of artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness.

2. To address National academies of sciences of Ukraine, Russia, China, the USA, Poland and national ministries of science with the offer: to develop on the basis of the conference conclusions special researches programs of present artificial intelligence conference pressing questions. To present the results to higher instances for them to be financed as state important national scientific programs.

3. To make an offer to national Ministries of Education of countries - participants of the conference: to take steps to improve the existing curriculums connected to intellectual information technologies, intellectual information means and systems, intellectual robotics means and systems, means of modern computer techniques and artificial intelligence.
