Hello I was looking for information about the IEEE conference on "Neural Information Processing Systems : Natural and Synthetic", which if I remember correctly is in Nov 89. There was an announcement in this newsgroup sometime back, calling for papers. Can someone give me the the information (or pointers to it) about the deadlines for submitting papers etc. Thanks in advance Suresh

NEURAL COMPUTING
Principles and Applications
at the
University of York, UK
April 9th-12th 1990
Intensive three day short course
for Managers and practising
Computing/Electronic
Engineers
SCOPE
This intensive course covers the principles and applications of neural
computing. It is presented as a series of lectures and demonstration sessions,
with discussion actively encouraged. A number of current case studies - from a
wide variety of application areas - will be presented by both industrial and
academic organisations.
The underlying aims are to provide you with the necessary background to enable
you to decide if neural computing techniques can be incorporated in your
products and so commence using these techniques.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is intended for practising computing or electronic engineers, and
also managers concerned with development of information and signal processing
systems.
COURSE MATERIALS
A full set of course notes will be provided for each participant, together with
an introductory software package.
OBJECTIVES
. Perspective overview of living neural networks
. General properties of artificial neurons
. Important neural architectures
. Pattern recognition and learning principles
. Existing software and hardware tools
. Practical applications, including signal, speech and image processing,
industrial inspection, data-base management and robotic systems
. Future prospects
ACCOMMODATION
Single room accommodation has been reserved in one of the University's six
colleges on the Campus. This is a short walk from where the day time
activities will be held. Full board will be provided. Meals and refreshments
will be provided for non-resident participants.
The Campus is a most attractive environment in which to study, and the
proximity of York makes the exploration and enjoyment of this historic city
easy.
