GOOD NEWS FOR THE NEURAL NETWORK COMMUNITY!
There are now over 2000 members of the International Neural Network Society
from 34 countries and 47 states of the U.S.A.
The INNS is thus beginning to fulfill its purpose of offering our
community an intellectual home of its own.
In particular, over 500 abstracts were submitted to the 1988 First Annual
INNS meeting in Boston, to be held on September 6--10, 1988, at the Park Plaza
Hotel. The abstracts cover the full spectrum of topics in the neural network
field.
While many are working hard on the final program and plans for the 1988
meeting, we also needed to plan further ahead. Accordingly, the INNS
Governing Board approved holding the Second Annual INNS Meeting in
Washington, DC, on September 5--9, 1989, and we have negotiated a contract
with the Omni Shoreham Hotel.
See you in Boston in '88 and Washington in '89!
Steve Grossberg, President, INNS
Demetri Psaltis, Vice President, INNS
Harold Szu, Secretary-Treasurer, INNS
