A large international conference in Intelligent Automation and Computer Engineering was held in Hong Kong, March 18-20, 2009, under the auspices of the International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists (IMECS 2009). The IMECS is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG). Intelligent Automation and Computer Engineering contains 37 revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers participating in the conference. Topics covered include artificial intelligence, decision supporting systems, automated planning, automation systems, control engineering, systems identification, modelling and simulation, communication systems, signal processing, and industrial applications. Intelligent Automation and Computer Engineering offers the state of the art of tremendous advances in intelligent automation and computer engineering and also serves as an excellent reference text for researchers and graduate students, working on intelligent automation and computer engineering.
Dr. Ao obtained his PhD from the University of Hong Kong, and finished his post-doctoral research in Oxford University Computing Laboratory, University of Oxford, and Initiative in Innovative Computing, Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University. He has been one of the founders and the IT director of a leading web hosting and application development corporation in Hong Kong. Dr. Ao was selected as one of the Tenth Outstanding e-Entrepreneurs (1999) and also appeared in other interview reports including the front-page interview by PC Market, and those by Hong Kong Economic Times, PCWorld Hong Kong, PCXpress, PCWeekly, and PC.com etc.
His other honors included: (1) Selected for the First Edition of Who's Who in Asia (Marquis Who's Who, 2006); (2) Selected for the 25th Silver Anniversary Edition of Who's Who in the World (Marquis Who's Who, 2008); (3) Selected for 2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century (International Biographical Centre, Cambridge, England, 2008); (4) Commended for the Thirty-Fourth Edition of the Dictionary of International Biography (International Biographical Centre, Cambridge, England, 2007), and; (5) Selected for the Who's Who in the World (Marquis Who's Who, 2010) etc.
Dr. Ao is the principal developer of the genomics software CLUSTAG and WCLUSTAG, which have been adopting by the medical researchers for their complex disease analysis. His research interests are mainly on the data mining algorithms, intelligent systems and their applications, and have published more than thirty books on these domains, including the authored monographs Data Mining and Applications in Genomics (Springer), and Applied Time Series Analysis and Innovative Computing (Springer).
