PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS
Third Australian Conference On Neural Networks
(ACNN'92)
February 1992
The Australian National University,
Canberra, Australia
The third Australian conference on neural networks will be held in
Canberra at the Australian National University, during the first week of
February 1992. This conference is interdisciplinary, with emphasis on
cross discipline communication between Neuroscientists, Engineers,
Computer Scientists, Mathematicians and Psychologists concerned with
understanding the integrative nature of the nervous system and its
implementation in hardware/software. The categories for submissions
include:
1 - Neuroscience: Integrative function of neural networks in vision,
audition, motor, somatosensory and autonomic functions; Synaptic
function; Cellular information processing;
2 - Theory: Learning; generalisation; complexity; scaling; stability;
dynamics;
3 - Implementation: Hardware implementation of neural nets; Analogue and
digital VLSI implementation; Optical implementations;
4 - Architectures and Learning Algorithms: New architectures and
learning algorithms; hierarchy; modularity; learning pattern
sequences; Information integration;
5 - Cognitive Science and AI: Computational models of cognition and
perception; Reasoning; Concept formation; Language acquisition;
Neural net implementation of expert systems;
6 - Applications: Application of neural nets to signal processing and
analysis; Pattern recognition: Speech, machine vision; Motor
control; Robotic;
ACNN'92 will feature invited keynote speakers in the areas of
neuroscience, learning, modelling and implementations. The program will
include pre-conference tutorials, presentations and poster sessions.
Proceedings will be printed and distributed to the attendees. There will
be no parallel sessions.
Submission Procedures:
Original research contributions are solicited and will be internationally
refereed. Authors must submit by August 30, 1991:
1) five copies of an up to four pages manuscript,
2) five copies of a single-page 100 words maximum abstract and
3) a covering letter indicating the submission title and the full
names and addresses of all authors and to which author
correspondence should be addressed.
Authors need to indicate on the top of each copy of the manuscript and
abstract pages their preference for an oral or poster presentation and
specify one of the above six broad categories. Note that names or
addresses of the authors should be omitted from the manuscript and the
abstract and should be included only on the covering letter. Authors will
be notified by November 1, 1991 whether their submissions are accepted or
not, and are expected to prepare a revised manuscript (up to four pages)
by December 13, 1991.
Submissions should be mailed to: Mrs Agatha Shotam
