                     CALL FOR PAPERS FOR TENCON 1989
                              A SESSION ON
                ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEURAL NETWORKS
                         November 22-24, 1989
                              Bombay, India

TENCON is the premier IEEE International Conference sponsored
by Region 10 (Japan, China, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Indian subcontinent, Australia, New Zealand and so on).

This session will cover the application of artificial intelligence
and neural networks today and their possible evolution in the
next decade.

Specifically, topics in artificial intelligence
include not only the use of expert systems in operations support
but also the issues of knowledge representation and learning.
Thus this includes good and bad ways of formulating problems,
and self-improvement by means of learning.

The session will also cover neural networks.
Topics include novel neural networks,
the application of neural networks,
knowledge representation issues and comparisons
of neural network formulations with alternatives such as
rule-based formulations.

Robotics will also be covered in the session,
including sensors/actuators, control systems,
teaching methods, flexible automation and workplace integration issues.
