                 CALL FOR PAPERS


               I E E E Conference on
       Neural Information Processing Systems
           -- Natural and Synthetic --


  Monday, November 28 -- Thursday, December 1, 1988
                  Denver, Colorado

This will be the second meeting in a series.  The November
1987 meeting, at the same location, brought together neurobiologists,
cognitive psychologists, computer scientists, engineers and physicists.
Several days of focussed workshops at a nearby ski resort followed.
A similar mountain retreat is planned for this year.  At the NIPS
meeting, the topics we expect to cover include the following:


Neurobiological models of development, cellular information processing,
synaptic function, learning and memory.

Connectionist models of learning and cognitive processing; training
paradigms; analysis of applicability, generalization, and complexity.

Applications to signal processing, vision, speech, motor control,
knowledge engineering and adaptive systems.

Practical issues in the simulation of neural networks.

Advances in hardware technologies -- neurophysiological recording tools,
VLSI or optical implementations of neural networks.


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.


Contributed papers:
Original research contributions are solicited, and will be rigorously
refereed.  Authors should submit six copies of a 500-word (or less)
summary and one copy of a 50-100 word abstract clearly stating their
results to the program committee chairman, Scott Kirkpatrick,
IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 704, Yorktown Heights, NY
10598.

Deadline for papers is May 14, 1988.
