Tutorials for IJCNN'93-NAGOYA will be held on Monday, October 25,
1993. Each tutorial will be three hours long. The tutorials should
be designed as such and not as expanded talks. They should lead the
student at the college Senior level through a pedagogically
understandable development of the subject matter. Experts in neural
networks and related fields are encouraged to submit proposed topics
for tutorials.

INDUSTRY FORUM INCLUDE:

Guido J. Deboeck
Robert Heckt-Nielsen
Toshirou Fujiwara
Tsuneharu Nitta

A major industry forum will be held in the afternoon on Tuesday,
October 26, 1993. Speakers will include representatives from
industry, government, and academia. The aim of the forum is to permit
attendees to understand more fully possible industrial applications of
neural networks, discuss problems that have arisen in industrial
applications, and to delineate new areas of research and development
of neural network applications.


EXHIBIT INFORMATION:

Exhibitors are encouraged to present the latest innovations in neural
networks, including electronic and optical neuro computers, fuzzy
neural networks, neural network VLSI chips and development systems,
neural network design and simulation tools, software systems, and
application demonstration systems. A large group of vendors and
participants from academia, industry and government are expected. We
believe that the IJCNN'93-NAGOYA will be the neural network largest
conference and trade-show in Japan, in which to exhibit your products.
Potential exhibitors should plan to sign up before April 30, 1993 for
exhibit booths since exhibit space is limited. Vendors may contact the
IJCNN'93-NAGOYA Secretariat.

NAGOYA:

The City of Nagoya, with a population of over two million, is the
principal city of central Japan and lies at the heart of one of the
three leading areas of the country. The area in and around the city
contains a large number of high-tech industries with names known
worldwide, such as Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda, Sony and Brother. The
city's central location gives it excellent road and rail links to the
rest of the country; there exist direct air services to 18 other
cities in Japan and 26 cities abroad.

Nagoya enjoys a temperate climate and agriculture flourishes on the
fertile plain surrounding the city. The area has a long history;
Nagoya is the birth place of two of Japan's greatest heroes: the Lords
Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who did much to bring the
'Warring States' period to an end. Tokugawa Ieyasu who completed the
task and established the Edo period was also born in the area. Nagoya
is flourished under the benevolent rule of this lord and his
descendants


Climate and Clothing

The climate in Nagoya in the late October is usually agreeable and
stable, with an average temperature of 16-23 C(60-74 F). Heavy
clothing is not necessary, however, a light sweater is recommended.
Business suit as well as casual clothing is appropriate.

Japan Rail Pass

The JAPAN RAIL PASS is a special ticket that is available only to
travellers visiting Japan from foreign countries for sight-seeing. To
be eligible to purchase a JAPAN RAIL PASS, you must purchase an
Exchange Order from an authorized sales office or agent before you
come to Japan. Please contact JTB offices or your travel agent for
details.


Note: The rail pass is a flash pass good on most of the trains and
ferries in Japan. It provides very significant saving on
transportation costs within Japan if you plan to travel more
than just from Tokyo to Nagoya and return. Booking of Japan
Railway tickets cannot be made before issuing Japan Rail Pass
in Japan.


Access to Nagoya

Direct flights to Nagoya are available from the following cities:
Seoul, Taipei, Pusan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Cheju, Jakarta,
Denpasar, Kuala Lumpur, Honolulu, Portland, Los Angeles, Guam, Saipan,
Toronto, Vancouver, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Moscow, Frankfurt,
Paris, London, Brisbane, Cairns, Sydney and Auckland.

Participants flying from the U.S.A. are urged to fly to Los Angeles,
CA, or Portland, OR, and transfer to direct flights to Nagoya on Delta
Airlines, or fly to Seoul, Korea, for a connecting flight to Nagoya.
For participants from other countries, flights to Narita (the New
Tokyo International Airport) or Osaka International Airport are
recommended. Domestic flights are available from Narita to Nagoya,
but not from Osaka. The bullet train, "Shinkansen", is a fast and
convenient way to get to Nagoya from either Osaka or Tokyo.


Transportation from Nagoya International Airport

Bus service to the Nagoya JR train station is available every 15
minutes. The bus stop (signed as No. 1) is to your left as you exit
the terminal. The trip takes about 1 hour.


Transportation from Narita International Airport

To the Tokyo JR train station (to connect with Shinkansen), 2 ways to
get from Narita to the JR train station are recommended:

1. An express train from the airport to the Tokyo JR train station.
This is an all reserved seat train. Buy tickets before boarding
train. Follow the signs in the airport to JR Narita station. The
trip takes 1 hour.

2. A non-stop service is available, leaving Narita airport every 15
minutes. The trip will take between one and one and a half hours or
more, depending on traffic conditions. The limousine have reserved
seating, so it is necessary to purchase a ticket before boarding.

If you plan to stay in Tokyo overnight before proceeding to Nagoya,
other limousine to major Tokyo hotels are available.

Transportation from Osaka International Airport

Non-stop-bus service to the Shin-Osaka JR train station is available
every 15 min.

Foreign Exchange and Travellaer's Checks

Purchase of traveller's checks in Japanese yen or U.S. dollars before
departure is recommended. The conference secretariat and most of
stores will accept only Japanese yen in cash only. Major credit cards
are accepted in a number of shops and hotels. Foreign currency
exchange and cashing of traveller's checks are available at the New
Tokyo International Airport, the Osaka International Airport and major
hotels. Major banks that handle foreign currencies are located in the
downtown area. Banks are open from 9:00 to 15:00 on the weekday,
closed on Saturday and Sunday.


Electricity

100 volts, 60 Hz.
