CALL FOR PAPERS
TENCON '89 (IEEE Region 10 Conference)
SESSION
ON
OPTIMIZATION AND NEURAL NETWORKS
November 22 -- 24, 1989
Bombay, India
Under the auspices of the IEEE, the session organizers invite
submission of papers for a session on "Optimization and Neural
Networks". This session will focus on the interrelationship of
neural networks and optimization problems. Neural networks can
be seen to be related to optimization in two distinct ways:
+ As an adaptive neural network learns from examples,
the convergence of its weights solves an optimiza-
tion problem.
+ A large class of networks , even with constant we-
ights , solves optimization problems as they settle
from initial to final state.
The areas of interest include but are not limited to:
+ Combinatorial optimization
+ Continuous optimization
+ Sensor integration ( when posed as an optimization
problem)
+ Mean Field Annealing
+ Stochastic Relaxation
Depending on the number and quality of the responses,this ses-
sion may be split into multiple sessions, with one part focus-
ing on optimizing the weight-determination process in adaptive
nets,and the second one on using those nets to solve other pro
blems.
Prospective authors should submit two copies of an extended ab
stract (not exceeding 5 pages , double spaced) of their papers
to either of the organizers by March 31, 1989. Authors will be
notified of acceptance or rejection by May 15,1989.Photo-ready
copy of the complete paper (not exceeding 25 pages double-spa-
ced) must be received by Jul 15,1989 for inclusion in the pro-
ceedings which will be published by the IEEE and distributed
at the symposium.
