All papers have been peer-reviewed. The ‘Intelligent Systems and Automation’ conference will be organized for its first edition between June 30th and July 02nd, 2008, where it will be held at Annaba, in Algeria (Africa). CISA encourages the diverse research actors and the industrial one to present the last headways in "Robotics and Automation" fields, notably the experimental demonstration of prototypes. CISA tries to give to the unsupported researchers, a significant access to the new technologies and theories around the topics of Robotics & Automation. The organizers want to give the necessary scientific documents to disposal of the PhD students and researchers of the Mediterranean region. CISA wants to offer to the youth researchers from the south Mediterranean region the opportunities to exchange and to discuss their scientific contributions with the other researchers from all over the world.

The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.
