NEURAL NETWORKS CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE International Conference on Neural Networks June 19-22, 1989 Washington, D.C. The 1989 IEEE International Conference on Neural Networks (ICNN-89) will be held at the Sheraton Washington Hotel in Washington, D.C., USA from June 19-22, 1989. ICNN-89 is the third annual conference in a series devoted to the technology of neurocomputing in its academic, industrial, commercial, consumer, and biomedical engineering aspects. The series is sponsored by the IEEE Technical Activities Board Neural Network Committee, created Spring 1988. ICNN-87 and 88 were huge successes, both in terms of large attendance and high quality of the technical presentations. ICNN-89 continues this tradition. It will be by far the largest and most important neural network meeting of 1989. As in the past, the full text of papers presented orally in the technical sessions will be published in the Conference Proceedings (along with some particularly outstanding papers from the Poster Sessions). The Abstract portions of all poster papers not published in full will also be published in the Proceedings. The Conference Proceedings will be distributed at the registration desk to all regular conference registrants as well as to all student registrants. This gives conference participants the full text of every paper presented in each technical session -- which greatly increases the value of the conference. ICNN is the only major neural network conference in the world to offer this feature. As is now the tradition, ICNN-89 will include a day of tutorials (June 18), the exhibit hall (the neurocomputing industry's primary annual tradeshow), plenary talks, and social events. Mark your calendar today and plan to attend IEEE ICNN-89 -- the definitive annual progress report on the neurocomputing revolution! DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF PAPERS for ICNN-89 is February 1, 1989. Papers of 8 pages or less are solicited in the following areas: -Real World Applications -Associative Memory -Supervised Learning Theory -Image Processing -Reinforcement Learning Theory -Self-Organization -Robotics and Control -Neurobiological Models -Optical Neurocomputers -Vision -Optimization -Electronic Neurocomputers -Neural Network Theory & Architectures Papers should be prepared in standard IEEE Conference Proceedings Format, and typed on the special forms provided in the Author's Kit. The Title, Author Name, Affiliation, and Abstract portions of the first page of the paper must be less than a half page in length. Indicate in your cover letter which of the above subject areas you wish your paper included in and whether you wish your paper to be considered for oral presentation, presentation as a poster, or both. For papers with multiple authors, indicate the name and address of the author to whom correspondence should be sent. Papers submitted for oral presentation may, at the referee's discretion, be designated for poster presentation instead, if they feel this would be more appropriate. FULL PAPERS in camera-ready form (1 original and 5 copies) should be submitted to Nomi Feldman, Conference Coordinator, at the address below.
