			CALL FOR PAPERS

		      IEEE Conference on

	     Neural Information Processing Systems
		   - Natural and Synthetic -

       Monday, November 27 -- Thursday November 30, 1989
		       Denver, Colorado


This is the third meeting of a high  quality,  relatively  small,
inter-disciplinary     conference     which    brings	 together
neuroscientists,  engineers,   computer	  scientists,	cognitive
scientists,  physicists,  and  mathematicians  interested  in all
aspects of neural processing and computation.	Several	 days  of
focussed  workshops  will  follow  at  a  nearby ski area.  Major
categories and examples	 of  subcategories  for	 papers	 are  the
following:

1. Neuroscience: Neurobiological models of development,	 cellular
information  processing, synaptic function, learning, and memory.
Studies and analyses of neurobiological systems	 and  development
of neurophysiological recording tools.

2.  Architecture   Design:   Design   and   evaluation	 of   net
architectures to perform cognitive or behavioral functions and to
implement conventional algorithms.  Data  representation;  static
networks  and  dynamic	networks  that	can  process  or generate
pattern sequences.

3. Learning Theory Models of  learning;	 training  paradigms  for
static	  and	dynamic	  networks;   analysis	 of   capability,
generalization, complexity, and scaling.

4.  Applications:  Applications	 to  signal  processing,  vision,
speech,	  motor	  control,  robotics,  knowledge  representation,
cognitive modelling and adaptive systems.

5. Implementation and Simulation: VLSI or optical implementations
of  hardware  neural  nets.  Practical issues for simulations and
simulation tools.


Technical Program: Plenary, contributed, and poster sessions will
be  held.  There  will	be no parallel sessions. The full text of
presented papers will be published.

Submission  Procedures:	 Original  research   contributions   are
solicited,  and	 will  be  refereed  by experts in the respective
disciplines.  Authors should submit four copies	 of  a	1000-word
(or  less)  summary  and four copies of a single-page 50-100 word
abstract clearly stating their results by May 30, 1989.	 Indicate
preference  for	 oral or poster presentation and specify which of
the above  five	 broad	categories  and,  if  appropriate,   sub-
categories   (for   example,   Learning	 Theory:  Complexity,  or
Applications:  Speech)	best  applies  to  your	 paper.	 Indicate
presentation preference and category information at the bottom of
each abstract page and after each summary. Failure to do so  will
delay  processing  of your submission.	Mail submissions to Kathy
Hibbard, NIPS89 Local Committee, Engineering Center,  Campus  Box
425, Boulder, CO, 80309-0425.


       DEADLINE FOR SUMMARIES  ABSTRACTS IS MAY 30, 1989
