CALL FOR PAPERS
International Symposium on Integrating Knowledge and Neural Heuristics
(ISIKNH'94)
Sponsored by University of Florida, and AAAI,
in cooperation with IEEE Neural Network Council, INNS-SIG, and FLAIRS.
Time: May 9-10 1994; Place: Pensacola Beach, Florida, USA.
A large amount of research has been directed
toward integrating neural and symbolic methods in recent years.
Especially, the integration of knowledge-based principles and
neural heuristics holds great promise
in solving complicated real-world problems.
This symposium will provide a forum for discussions
and exchanges of ideas in this area. The objective of this symposium
is to bring together researchers from a variety of fields
who are interested in applying neural network techniques
to augmenting existing knowledge or proceeding the other way around,
and especially, who have demonstrated that this combined approach
outperforms either approach alone.
We welcome views of this problem from
areas such as constraint-(knowledge-) based learning and
reasoning, connectionist symbol processing,
hybrid intelligent systems, fuzzy neural networks,
multi-strategic learning, and cognitive science.
Examples of specific research include but are not limited to:
1. How do we build a neural network based on {\em a priori}
knowledge (i.e., a knowledge-based neural network)?
2. How do neural heuristics improve the current model
for a particular problem (e.g., classification, planning,
signal processing, and control)?
3. How does knowledge in conjunction with neural heuristics
contribute to machine learning?
4. What is the emergent behavior of a hybrid system?
5. What are the fundamental issues behind the combined approach?
Program activities include keynote speeches, paper presentation,
panel discussions, and tutorials.
*****
Scholarships are offered to assist students in attending the
symposium. Students who wish to apply for a scholarship should send
their resumes and a statement of how their researches are related
to the symposium.

Subject: CONGRESS: COMPUTATIONAL MEDICINE AND PUBLIC HEALTH
** NOTE CHANGES IN SUBMISSION AND REGISTRATION DEADLINES **
FIRST WORLD CONGRESS
ON COMPUTATIONAL MEDICINE, PUBLIC HEALTH AND
BIOTECHNOLOGY
24-28 April 1994
Hyatt Regency Hotel
Austin, Texas
1.0 CONFERENCE OVERVIEW: With increasing frequency, computational
sciences are being exploited as a means with which to investigate
biomedical processes at all levels of complexity; from molecular to
systemic to demographic. Computational instruments are now used, not
only as exploratory tools but also as diagnostic and prognostic tools.
The appearance of high performance computing environments has, to a
great extent, removed the problem of increasing the biological reality
of the mathematical models. For the first time in the history of the
field, practical biological reality is finally within the grasp of the
biomedical modeler. Mathematical complexity is no longer as serious an
issue as speeds of computation are now of the order necessary to allow
extremely large and complex computational models to be analyzed.
Large memory machines are now routinely available. Additionally, high
speed, efficient, highly optimized numerical algorithms are under
constant development. As these algorithms are understood and improved
upon, many of them are transferred from software implementation to an
implementation in the hardware itself; thereby further enhancing the
available computational speed of current hardware. The purpose of this
congress is to bring together a transdisciplinary group of researchers
in medicine, public health, computer science, mathematics, nursing,
veterinary medicine, ecology, allied health, as well as numerous other
disciplines, for the purposes of examining the grand challenge
problems of the next decades. This will be a definitive meeting in
that it will be the first World Congress of its type and will be held
as a follow-up to the very well received Workshop On High Performance
Computing In The Life Sciences and Medicine held by the University of
Texas System Center For High Performance Computing in 1990.
Young scientists (graduate students, postdocs, etc.) are encouraged
to attend and to present their work in this increasingly interesting
discipline. Funding is being solicited from NSF, NIH, DOE, Darpa, EPA,
and private foundations, as well as other sources to assist in travel
support and in the offsetting of expenses for those unable to attend
otherwise. Papers, poster presentations, tutorials, focused topic
workshops, birds of a feather groups, demonstrations, and other
suggestions are also solicited.

7.0 CONFERENCE PRELIMINARY DETAILS AND ENVIRONMENT
LOCATION: Hyatt Regency Hotel, Austin, Texas, USA
DATES: 24-28 April 1994
The 1st World Congress On Computational Medicine, Public Health, and
Biotechnology will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Austin, Texas
located in downtown Austin on the shores of Town Lake, also known as
the Colorado River. The Hyatt Regency has rooms available for the
conference participants at a special rate of $79.00/night for single
or double occupancy, with a hotel tax of 13%. The Hyatt accepts
American Express, Diner's Club, Visa, MasterCard, Carte Blanche, and
Discover credit cards. This room rate will be in effect until 9 April
1994 or until the block of rooms is full. We recommend that you make
your reservations as soon as possible. You may make your reservations
by calling (512) 477-1234 or by returning the enclosed reservation
form. Be certain to mention that you are attending the First World
Congress On Computational Medicine, Public Health, and Biotechnology
if you make your reservations by telephone.
The hotel is approximately, five miles (15 minutes from Robert Mueller
Airport). The Hyatt offers courtesy limousine service to and from the
airport between the hours of 6:00am and 11:00pm. You may call them
from the airport when you arrive. If you choose to use a taxi, expect
to pay approximately $8.00. Automobiles may be rented, at the
airport, from most of the major car rental agencies. However, because
of the downtown location of the Congress and access to taxis and to
bus service, we do not recommend that you rent an auto unless you are
planning to drive outside of the city.
Should you not be able to find an available room at the Hyatt Regency,
we have scheduled an "overflow" hotel, the Embassy Suites, which is
located directly across the street from the Hyatt Regency. If, due to
travel expense restrictions, you are unable to stay at either of these
two hotels, please contact the conference board directly and we will
be more than happy to find a hotel near the conference site that
should accommodate your needs.
