INNS 88 UPDATE AND CALL FOR PAPERS
International Neural Network Society
First Annual Meeting
September 6--10, 1988
Boston, Massachusetts
The International Neural Network Society (INNS) invites all
those interested in the exciting and rapidly expanding field of
neural networks to attend its 1988 Annual Meeting. Incorporated

most active researchers and is growing rapidly. The meeting
includes plenary lectures, symposia, contributed oral and poster
presentations, tutorials, commercial and publishing exhibits,
government agency presentations, and social events. These events will
bring together scientists, engineers, government administrators, industrial
administrators, and students in an open form for advancing the full
spectrum of significant neural network research from biology through
technology.

NSF TRAVEL GRANTS: The National Science Foundation has awarded a grant to
help students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty travel to the INNS
Annual Meeting. Preference will be given to young scientists who are authors or
co-authors of contributed papers. A letter of request for travel support should
be sent along with the abstract. Please include the name, address, and
telephone number of each person requesting support; an estimate of basic travel
expenses; and the title and authors of the abstract. Awards will be announced
in June, 1988.
Complete attached forms for Conference and Tutorial Registration, Hotel
Reservations, and Discounted Travel Reservations. The celebrated Park Plaza
Castle will house many commercial, government, and publishing exhibits.

Amari; from North and South America to Prof. Stephen Grossberg; from Europe
and Africa to Prof. Teuvo Kohonen. Complete Instructions for Authors
may be obtained from the Editors.
---DISCOUNTED TRAVEL RESERVATIONS---
Domestic Travelers: Airline tickets may be ordered at a special convention
rate 60% off coach fares on Eastern Airlines and 5% off the lowest available
fare on Continental Airlines. Eastern and Continental airlines have the
greatest number of flights in and out of Logan International Airport in
Boston. Convention rates are often the lowest unrestricted rates obtainable at
the time you book your flights. However, since the rate is negotiated far in
advance, and since the airlines may offer special lower fares at the time you
book, especially if you are willing to stay over a Saturday night, there may be
even lower fares available than our convention rate. However, if you book your
flight through UNIGLOBE The Travel Connection, Inc., we guarantee to find you
the lowest available fare at the time of booking, whether that is the
convention fare or a lower fare on another airline, or we will refund the
difference between our fare and the lower one.
International Travelers: Because of the weakness of the U.S. dollar, it may be
less expensive to purchase your ticket through us in the United States. You
may call us collect on our local (617) telephone line, let us know what the
lowest fare is you have been quoted in your country, and we will obtain a lower
one in U.S. currency if possible.
Call UNIGLOBE The Travel Connection Inc.: (800) 521-5144 (outside
Massachusetts) or (617) 235-7500 (Massachusetts and International), or fill out
the Travel Request below and send to:
