Workshop ``DANIP'' Distributed Adaptive Neural Information Processing. 24.-25.4.1989 (24-25 April 89) Gesellschaft fuer Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung mbH Sankt Augustin Neural information processing is constantly gaining increasing attention in many scientific areas. As a consequence the first ``Workshop Konnektionismus'' at the GMD was organized in February 1988. It gave an overview of research activities in neural networks and their applications to Artificial Intelligence. Now, almost a year later, the time has come to focus on the state of neural information processing itself. The aim of the workshop is to discuss TECHNICAL aspects of information processing in neural networks on the basis of personal contributions in one of the following areas: - new or improved learning algorithms (including evaluations) - self organization of structured (non-localist) neural networks - time series analysis by means of neural networks - adaptivity, e.g the problem of relearning - adequate coding of information for neural processing - generalization - weight interpretation (correlative and other)} Presentations which report on ``work in progress'' are encouraged. The size of the workshop will be limited to 15 contributions of 30 minutes in length. A limited number of additional participants may attend the workshop and take part in the discussions. To apply for the workshop as a contributor, please send information about your contribution (1-2 pages in English or a relevant publication). If you want to participate without giving an oral presentation, please include a description of your background in the field of neural networks. Proceedings on the basis of workshop contributions will be published after the workshop.
