consciousness and its relation to the brain. PSYCHE publishes
material relevant to that exploration from the perspectives afforded
by the disciplines of Cognitive Science, Philosophy, Psychology,
Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence and Anthropology.
The first issue of PSYCHE will be released in the next two
weeks. If you would like to subscribe to the journal send

Announcing
BIOSIM - Biol. NN-Simulator
BIOSIM is a biologically oriented neural network simulator.
* It's public domain.
* It runs on Unix (a less powerful PC-version is available, too).
* It's easy to install.
* It's bilingual (german and english)
* It has a GUI (Graphical User Interface).
* It doesn't requires to learn a simulation language.
* It was designed for research and teaching.
* It includes learning capabilities.
* It provides online help facilities.
* It offers controlling interfaces.
* A batch version is available.
* A DEMO is provided, covering a wide range of application features.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT BIOSIM
Four neuron models are implemented in BIOSIM: a simple model only
switching ion channels on and off, the original Hodgkin-Huxley model,
the SWIM model (a modified HH model) and the Golowasch-Buchholz model
as the most enhanced model.
Dendrites consist of a chain of segments without bifurcation.
A neural network can be created by using the interactive network
editor which is part of BIOSIM. Parameters can be changed via context
sensitive menus and the results of the simulation can be visualized
in observation windows for neurons and synapses.
Stochastic processes such as noise can be included.
In addition, biologically orientied learning and forgetting processes
are modeled, e.g. sensitization, habituation, conditioning, hebbian
learning and competitive learning.
Three synaptic types are predefined (an excitatatory synapse type,
an inhibitory synapse type and an electrical synapse).
Additional synaptic types can be created interactively as much as
desired.
A demonstration shell script, which controls the simulator, is
included showing a wide range of possibilities with BIOSIM.
Within BIOSIM a handbook and an online-help system is available.
BIOSIM is bilingual (english and german). When installing BIOSIM the
user can choose between english and german. Thus, a english or german
environment is installed. The INSTALL procedured is bilingual, too.
The biological and mathematical model underlying BIOSIM were
developed by Dr. Uwe T. Koch (university of Kaiserslautern, Germany)
and Stefan Bergdoll (BASF Inc., Germany).
The BIOSIM simulator, as well as the online help system, were
developed by Stefan Bergdoll (BASF Inc., Germany).

[[ Editor's Note: I'm not sure of any single model which purports to
fulfill *all* of the mentioned conditions. What is the state of ART
these days? Might it be the best bet? -PM ]]
I'm searching for information about neural network models which
satisfies most of the following conditions:
- hetero-associative,
- recursive,
- supervised learning,
- one-shot, evolutive or incremental learning
I would be glad if you could help me to find some of these models.
Yours sincerely,
Marcello de Martino.

Hello,
I am a young student at the University of Florence, Italy.
I have one problem: I would like to know if it is possible
to retrieve some works about solving non-linear set of equations
using neural networks. Of course I would also be interested in
how to retrieve this works.
Thank you very much

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
This conference is the fourth in a series of international conferences
dedicated to all aspects of hardware implementations of Neural Networks
and Fuzzy Systems.
MICRONEURO has emerged as the only international forum devoted
specifically to all hardware implementation aspects, giving particular
weight to those interdisciplinary issues which affect the design of
Neural and Fuzzy hardware directly.
TOPICS
The conference program will focus upon all aspects of hardware
implementations of Neural Networks and Fuzzy Systems and their
applications in the real world. Topics will concentrate upon the
following fields:
- Analog and mixed-mode implementations
- Digital implementations
- Optical systems
- Pulse-Stream computation
- Weightless Neural systems
- Neural and Fuzzy hardware systems
- Interfaces with external world
- Applications of dedicated hardware
- VLSI-friendly Neural algorithms
- New technologies for Neural and Fuzzy Systems
Selection criteria will be based also on technical relevance, novelty
of the approach and on availability of performance measurements for the
system/device.
INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
All submitted material (written in English) will be refereed and should
be typed on A4 paper, 1-1/2 spaced, 12 point font, 160x220 mm text size.
All accepted material will appear in the proceedings.
PAPERS should not exceed 10 pages including figures and text.
Also reports on EARLY INNOVATIVE IDEAS will be considered for presentation.
In this case the submission should be a short description of the novel
idea, not exceeding 6 pages in length, and it must be clearly marked
``Innovative Idea''.
The most interesting papers and ideas will be published in a special
issue of IEEE MICRO.
SUBMISSIONS
Six copies of final manuscripts, written according to the above
requirements, shall be submitted to the Program Chairman.
Submissions arriving late or significantly departing from length
guidelines, or papers published elsewhere will be returned without
review. Electronic versions of the submission (possibly in LATEX
format) are kindly welcome.
DEADLINES
Submission of paper and/or ideas May 30, 1994
Notification of acceptance July 15, 1994
THE WORKSHOP VENUE
The venue of MICRONEURO '94 is Torino, the historic and beautiful center
of Piemonte. The town is surrounded by the highest mountains in Europe
and by beautiful hills and landscapes. The region is also famous for
its excellent wines.
MICRONEURO '94 will be held at the Politecnico di Torino.
The venue is conveniently located close to
the town centre, with many restaurants and cafes close by.

Held at Coventry University UK
Organised by the Control Theory and Applications Centre
International Conference on Systems Engineering
The 10th International Conference on Systems Engineering, ICSE'94, will take
place at Coventry University and organised through the Control Theory and
Applications Centre, an interdisciplinary research centre established by
drawing together staff from the School of Engineering and the School of
Mathematical and Information Sciences.
Scope of Conference
The Conference will cover the general area of Systems Engineering, with
particular emphasis being placed on applications. It is expected to include
sessions on the following themes:
- - Adaptive Control and System Identification
- - Algorithms and Architectures
- - Control Theory and Industrial Applications
- - Educational Developments in Systems Engineering
- - Energy Efficiency and Environmental Systems
- - Image and Signal Processing
- - Manufacturing Systems
- - Modelling and Simulation
- - Rule Based Control and Fuzzy Decision Making
- - Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms in Control and Identification
Call for Papers
Authors wishing to contribute to the Conference should submit an abstract
(three copies) of their proposed contribution before 15 February 1994.
The abstract should be typed and written in English. Refereeing of abstacts
submitted before the deadline date will take place on a regular basis.
This will allow early decisions to be taken and should assist authors in
their planning arrangements. The Organising Committee would also welcome
proposals for arranged specialist sessions on a focused theme relevant to the
Conference, each session consisting of up to six papers. All papers presented
will be considered for publication in the Journal 'Systems Science', published
in Poland (in English).
Deadlines
- - Submission of abstracts 15 February 1994
- - Acceptance of papers 7 March 1994
- - Submission of full papers 1 June 1994
It is intended to have the Conference Proceedings available for participants.
Consequently, deadlines for submission of papers should be strictly respected.
Preliminary Arrangements
- - Conference fees, provisionally estimated at 325 Pounds Sterling, inclues
a copy of the Conference Proceedings, lunches on the 6th, 7th and 8th,
the Conference Banquet on the 6th, and a Civic Reception followed by the
Conference Dinner on the 7th.
- - Participants will have the option of being accommodated in the University
Halls of Residence overlooking Coventry Cathedral or in local hotels or
guest houses. The Conference fee is exclusive of accommodation charges.
- - The working language of the Conference is English, which will be used for
