Subject: Administrivia
From: Peter Marvit, Neuron-Digest Moderator <neuron@hplabs.hp.com>
Date: Sunday, 4 Sep 1988

But first a word from your moderator...

This issue marks the first of the new mailing efforts. It starts Volume 4,
corresponding to the start of the new academic year.

I have receieved very few new submissions (hint, hint) so have culled some
of the entries from other sources. note also that I still haven't worked
through the details of the mailing list to/from USENET news gateways, so
those of you who read both may see duplication. I will occasionally
"borrow" from other interesting lists or groups, as befits the subject of
this Digest.

I will send out a Digest no less than twice per month, and certainly more
often if volume warrants. If no one sends anything, I'll make something
up. This Digest is yours and only your participation can make it work.

If you don't see your submission be the next issue, please resubmit it to
"Neuron-request@hplabs.hp.com"; the transition from the capable hands of
the last Moderator, Mike Gately, is all but complete although some
submissions have probably been lost in the shuffle.

[[Moderator's Note: This is a quite dated notice. Sorry about that. I
hope participants who read this Digest will offer their comments and
observations! Alas, my classes keep me on the West Coast. -PM]]

- -----Meeting Update-----
September 6--10, 1988
Park Plaza Hotel
Boston, Massachusetts

The first annual INNS meeting promises to be a historic event. Its program
includes the largest selection of investigators ever assembled to present
the full range of neural network research and applications.

The meeting will bring together over 2000 scientists, engineers, students,
government administrators, industrial commercializers, and financiers. It
is rapidly seeservations, call the Park Plaza Hotel at (800) 225-2008 and
reference "Neural Networks." If you call from Massachusetts, call (800)
462-2022.

There will be 600 scientific presentations, including tutorials, plenary
lectures, symposia, and contributed oral and poster presentations. Over 50
exhibits are already reserved for industrial firms, publishing houses, and
government agencies.

The full day of tutorials presented on September 6 will be given by Gail
Carpenter, John Daugman, Stephen Grossberg, Morris Hirsch, Teuvo Kohonen,
David Rumelhart, Demetri Psaltis, and Allen Selverston. The plenary lecturers
are Stephen Grossberg, Carver Mead, Terrence l
presentations, and 400 poster presentations.

Fourteen professional societies are cooperating with the INNS meeting. They
are:

American Association of Artificial Intelligence
American Mathematical Society
Association for Behavior Analysis
Cognitive Science Society
IEEE Boston Section
IEEE Computer Society
IEEE Control Systems Society
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society
Optical Society of America
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

NEURAL COMPUTATION

First Issue: Spring 1989



Editor-in-Chief

Terrence Sejnowski
The Salk Institute and
The University of California at San Diego


Neural Computation will provide a unique interdisciplinary forum for the
dissemination of important research results and for reviews of research
areas in neural computation.

Neural computation is a rapidly growing field that is attracting
researchers in neuroscience, psychology, physics, mathematics, electrical
engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Researchers
within these disciplines address, from special perspectives, the twin
scientific and engineering challenges of understanding the brain and
building computers. The journal serves to bring together work from various
application areas, highlighting common problems and techniques in modeling
the brain and in the design and construction of neurally-inspired
information processing systems.

By publishing timely short communications and research reviews, Neural
Computation will allow researchers easy access to information on important
advances and will provide a valuable overview of the broad range of work
contributing to neural computation. The journal will not accept long
research articles.

The fields covered include neuroscience, computer science, artificial
intelligence, mathematics, physics, psychology, linguistics, adaptive
systems, vision, speech, robotics, optical computing, and VLSI.

Neural Computation is published quarterly by The MIT Press.
