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.
