SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES (HICSS-25) KAUAI, HAWAII - JANUARY 7-10, 1992 NEURAL NET APPLICATIONS IN BUSINESS III The Emerging Technologies and Applications Track of HICSS-25 will contain a special set of sessions focusing on a broad selection of topics in the area of Neural Net Applications in Business. The presentations will provide a forum to discuss new advances in these applications. Papers are invited that may be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial, or descriptive in nature. Of special interest, however, are papers detailing solutions to practical problems. Those papers selected for presentation will appear in the Conference Proceedings, which are published by the Computer Society of the IEEE. HICSS-25 is sponsored by the University of Hawaii in cooperation with the ACM, the IEEE Computer Society, and the Pacific Research Institute for Information Systems and Management (PRIISM). Submissions are solicited in the areas: (1) The application of neural nets to model business tasks performed by people (e.g. Dutta and Shekhar paper on Applying Neural Nets to Rating Bonds, ICNN, 1988, Vol. II, pp. 443-450). (2) The development of neural nets to model human decision tasks (e.g. Gluck and Bower, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 117(3), 227-247). (3) The application of neural nets to improving modeling tools commonly used in business (e.g. neural networks to perform regression-like modeling). (4) The embedding of neural nets in commercial products (e.g. OCR scanners). Our order of preference is from (1) to (4) above. Papers which detail actual usage of neural networks are preferred to those which only propose uses. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING PAPERS: Manuscripts should be 12-26 typewritten, double-spaced pages in length. Do not send submissions that are significantly shorter or longer than this. Each manuscript will be subjected to refereeing. Manuscript papers should have a title page that includes the title of the paper, full name(s) of its author(s), affiliation(s), complete mailing and electronic address(es), telephone number(s), and a 300- word abstract of the paper. DEADLINES A 300-word optional abstract may be submitted by March 1, 1991 by E-mail or mail. (If no reply to E-mail in 7 days, send by U.S. mail also.) Feedback to author concerning abstract by April 1, 1991. Six paper copies of the manuscript are due by June 5, 1991. Notification of accepted papers by September 1, 1991. Accepted manuscripts, camera-ready, are due by October 1, 1991.
