IWANN'91 (International Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks) was
held in Granada (Spain) in September 1991. People from over 10 countries
attended the Workshop, and over 50 oral presentations were given.
IWANN'93 will be organised next June, 1993 in Sitges (Spain) with
the following Scope and Topics.
SCOPE
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were first developed as structural
or functional models of biological systems in an attempt to emulate their
unique problem-solving abilities.
The main interest in neural topics stems from their advantages in
plasticity, speed and autonomy over conventional hardware and software,
which have traditionally proven inadequate for handling certain tasks
such as perception, learning, planning, knowledge acquisition and natural
language processing.
IWANN's main objective is to offer a forum for achieving a global,
innovative and advanced perspective on ANN. In addition to conventional
Neural Networks aspects, such as algorithms, architectures, software
development tools , learning, implementations and applications, IWANN'93
will also be concerned with other complementary topics such as neural
computation theory and methodology, physiological and anatomical basis,
local computation models, organization and structures resembling
biological systems.
Contributions on the following aspects are welcome:
* New models for biological networks.
* New algorithms and architectures for autonomy and self-
programmability using local learning strategies.
* Relationship with symbolic and knowledge-based systems.
* New implementation proposals using general or specific
processors. Implementations with embedded learning are
especially invited.
* Applications.
Finally, it is expected that IWANN'93 will also serve as a meeting
point for engineers and scientists to establish professional contacts and
relationships.
TOPICS
1 - BIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES: anatomical and physiological basis, local
circuits, biophysics and natural computation.
2 - THEORETICAL MODELS: analog, logic, inferential, statistical and
fuzzy models. Statistical mechanics.
3 - ORGANIZATIONAL PRINCIPLES: network dynamics, self-organization,
competition, recurrency, evolutive optimization and genetic
algorithms.
4 - LEARNING: supervised and unsupervised strategies, local self-
programming, continuous learning, evolutive algorithms
5 - COGNITIVE SCIENCE AND AI: perception and psychophysics, symbolic
reasoning and memory.
6 - NEURAL SOFTWARE: languages, tools, simulation and benchmarks.
7 - HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION: VLSI, parallel architectures,
neurochips, preprocessing networks, neurodevices,
benchmarks, optical and other technologies.
8 - NEURAL NETWORKS FOR SIGNAL PROCESSING: preprocessing, vision,
speech recognition, adaptive filtering, noise reduction.
9 - NEURAL NETWORKS FOR COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS: modems and codecs,
network management, digital communications.
10 - NEURAL NETWORKS FOR CONTROL AND ROBOTICS: system identification,
motion, adaptive control, navigation, real time applications.
LOCATION
SITGES (BARCELONA), JUNE 9 - 11, 1993.

Final Call for Papers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ninth Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence, SBIA'92, will
be held in Rio de Janeiro on October 1992, in conjunction with the
congress of the Brazilian Society for Computing Science(SBC).
This symposium is a promotion of the SBC and its goal is to communicate
the national and international scientific production on artificial
intelligence, and to provide an environment to exchange ideias and
experiences among professional, researchers, and students.
The works will be analysed carefully by the program committee, according
with the criterion of originality, scientific contribution and clearness,
in such way that it can be accept for the technical session or for poster
sessions. All accepted technical papers will be published in the proceeding
of the symposium.
Proposals for software and products demonstration will be analysed in the
light of its potential interest and contribution for the participant of
the SBIA.

FINAL REGISTRATION ANNOUNCEMENT
First Annual
Computation and Neural Systems Meeting
CNS*92
Sunday, July 26 through Friday, July 29
1992
San Francisco, California
This is the first annual meeting of an inter-disciplinary
conference intended to address the broad range of research
approaches and issues involved in the general field of
computational neuroscience. CNS*92 will bring
together experimental and theoretical neurobiologists along
with engineers, computer scientists, cognitive scientists,
physicists, and mathematicians interested in understanding
how biological neural systems compute.
85 peer reviewed papers will be presented at the meeting.
These papers cover numerous different technical approaches
including theory and analysis, modeling and simulation, and
experimental techniques. New experimental and modeling tools
will also be described. Subjects will include the visual system,
olfaction, audition, somatosensation, and other sensory systems;
motor control; biological learning and memory; chemical modulation
of neuronal function; neuronal plasticity; as well as
the development of the nervous system. Presented papers address
computational issues at the subcellular, single cell, network
and systems levels.
The first day of the meeting (July 26) will be devoted to tutorial
presentations and workshops focused on particular technical
issues confronting computational neurobiology. The next three
days will include the main technical program consisting of
oral and poster sessions. There will be no parallel sessions.
In order to encourage participation, the meeting's organizers
have obtained funds for travel grants for students, postdoctoral
fellows, and junior faculty members. Grants will be provided
in the amounts of $200 west coast, $400 east coast, and $600
foreign, based on need. We are particularly interested in
encouraging students to attend.
