BIRA (Belgian Institute for Control Engineering and Automation) is
organising a seminar on the state of the art in Neural Networks. The
central theme will be "When and how will neural networks become applicable
for industry". To be able to give a good and reliable verdict to this
theme, some of the most important and leading scientists in this fasci-
nating area have been invited to present a lecture at the seminar and take
part in a panel discussion.
The following schedule is foreseen:
8.30 - 9.00 Registration
9.00 - 9.15 Opening on behalf of BIRA

10.00 - 10.30 coffee
10.30 - 11.30 Theoretical Backgrounds and Mathematical Models
Prof. B. Kosko
