Date: 08 Nov 93 15:46:48 -0500
WORLD CONGRESS ON NEURAL NETWORKS 1994 (WCNN '94)
Annual Meeting of the International Neural Network Society
Town and Country Hotel - San Diego, California, USA - June 4-9, 1994
CALL FOR PAPERS
deadline December 10, 1993
WHY WCNN '94?
INNS has incorporated many of your suggestions from earlier IJCNNs, WCNNs to
create the best conference on neural networks to date. These include:
* A more comprehensive learning experience. The new 2-day INNS University Short
Course format provides courses twice as long and in-depth as any other tutorial
program.
* The latest advances in the field. New sessions in chaos, mathematics,
neuroprocessing and virtual reality, prediction, and AI plus special session on
some of the latest applications of neural networks.
* A better opportunity to attend the talks you want to hear. The invited talks
at WCNN '94 sessions will be staggered and will not run in competition with each
other. You will not have to choose between invited talks.
* More opportunities to present your work. WCNN '94 has opened up new categories
for paper submission to encourage your participation. Read the Call for Papers
below.
* The latest software and hardware applications. The new Neural Network
Industrial Exposition will be a dedicated event demonstrating the latest
products in neural networks and hosted by industry experts.
* Many other improvements based on your responses to past meetings.
________________________________________________________________________
CALL FOR PAPERS:
Papers must be received by December 10, 1993. The deadline will NOT be extended.
Authors must submit registration payment with papers to be eligible for the
early registration fee. Six (6) copies (1 original, (5) copies) are required for
submission. Do not fold or staple originals. Six page limit, in English. $20 per
page for papers exceeding (6) pages (do not number pages). Checks for overlength
charges should be made out to INNS and Must be included with submitted paper.
Papers must be: camera-ready on 8 1/2 inch x 11 inch white paper with 1 inch
margins on all sides, one column format, single spaced, in Times or similar type
style of 10 points or larger, one side of paper only. FAX's not acceptable. By
submitting a previously unpublished paper, author agrees to the transfer of the
copyright to INNS for the conference proceedings. Centered at top of first page
should be complete title, author name(s), affiliation(s), and mailing
address(es), followed by blank space, abstract (up to 15 lines) and text. The
following information MUST be included in an accompanying cover letter in order
for the paper to be reviewed: Full title of paper, corresponding author(s) and
presenting author name, address, telephone and fax numbers, Technical Session
(see session topics) 1st and 2nd choices, oral and poster presentation
preferred, audio visual requirements (for oral presentations only) and INNS
Members number. Papers to be sent to the address at the end of this
announcement, Attention: Program Chairs. INNS members will be allowed a chance
for revision. In order to be eligible for revision, your cover letter MUST
include your INNS member number.
All members of INNS up to the paper deadline may designate up to one paper with
themselves as an author for automatic acceptance. This guarantees only a poster
presentation and abstract publication for that paper.
INNS members and other may submit papers already accepted by journals, or
publicly accessible Tech reports, in lieu of a paper, for consideration as the
basis of an oral presentation. In such a case, the members must submit at least
three copies of the relevant paper, along with an abstract of the talk which
clearly cites the paper well enough to permit easy access to it. When such talks
are accepted, then only the abstracts will be published.
When to choose a poster presentation: more than 15 minutes are need; author does
not wish to run concurrently with an invited talk; work is a continuation of
previously publication; author seeks a lively discussion opportunity or to
solicit future collaboration. NOTE: An award for Best Poster will be made for
each session.

This special session will focus on recent progress in applying neural networks
to biomedical problems, both in the research laboratory and in the clinical
environment. Applications moving toward early commercial implementation will be
highlighted, and working demonstrations will be given. The track will commence
with an overview session including invited presentations by Dr. John Weinstein,
NCI, NIH on the present status of biomedical applications research and by his
co-session chair Professor Shiro Usui, Toyohasi University on biomedical
applications in Japan. A second morning session, chaired by Dr. Harry B. Burke,

Consciousness and inner experience have suddenly emerged as the centre of
activity in psychology, philosophy, and neurobiology. Neural modelling is
preceding apace in this subject. Contributors from all areas are now coming
together to move rapidly towards a solution of what might be regarded as one of
the deepest problems of human existence. Neural models, and their constraints,
will be presented in the session, with an assessment of how far we are from
building a machine that can see the world the way we do.
