-==== INVITED SPEAKERS ====-
In the oral sessions there will be invited talks given by some of the
leading experts in various fields of Neural Networks. The invited
speakers include:
B. Angeniol (France), G. Carpenter (USA), R. Eckmiller (Germany),
F. Fogelman (France), K. Goser (Germany), S. Grossberg (USA),

J. G. Taylor (UK), P. Treleaven (UK)
-================ PLENARY SESSIONS ====================-
There will be several plenary sessions on topics that are of interest
to all participants. The speakers who are pioneers in neural networks are:
I. Alexander - Professor at Imperial College (England)
A. Amari - Professor at Tokyo University (Japan)
E. Caianiello - Professor at University of Salerno (Italy)
F. Faggin - President of Synaptics Inc. (USA)
R. Hecht-Nielsen - Chair of the Board of HNC corporation (USA)
T. Kohonen - Professor at Helsinki University of Technology (Finland)
=-= NON-COMMERCIAL DEMONSTRATIONS TRACK =-=
As a new feature in neural network conferences participants will have
a possibility to show video presentations and demonstrate prototype
programs and systems on a non-commercial basis in a separate demonstration
track, running in parallel with the oral and poster sessions. There will
be a video room and PC/workstation classes available with standard equipment.
The time slot reservation for the demonstration can be made using the
registration form on which you also have to indicate the title of your demo.
Detailed information will automatically be sent to those who reserve a
time slot for demonstration.

=-= INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS =-=
Complete papers of at most 6 pages are invited for oral or poster
presentation in one of the sessions given below:
1. Mathematical theories of networks and dynamical systems
2. Neural network architectures and algorithms
(including organizations and comparative studies)
3. Artificial associative memories
4. Pattern recognition and signal processing (especially vision and speech)
5. Self-organization and vector quantization
6. Robotics and control
7. "Neural" knowledge data bases and non-rule-based decision making
8. Software development
(design tools, parallel algorithms, and software packages)
9. Hardware implementations (coprocessors, VLSI, optical, and molecular)
10. Commercial and industrial applications
11. Biological and physiological connection
(synaptic and cell functions, sensory and motor functions, and memory)
12. Neural models for cognitive science and high-level brain functions
13. Physics connection (thermodynamical models, spin glasses, and chaos)
Papers may be submitted for oral or poster presentation. All papers must
be written in English. Only complete papers of at most 6 pages will be
considered for oral presentations, and for 4 pages for posters. The program
committee may designate a paper intended for oral presentation to a poster
presentation instead, and may also change the intended session to balance
the conference program.
== DEADLINE IS January 15, 1991
Deadline for submitting manuscripts is January 15, 1991. The Conference
Proceedings will be published as a book by Elsevier Science Publishers B.V.
Therefore, the final versions must be typed or pasted on special forms
provided by the publisher for authors of accepted papers. The papers will
be reproduced directly from the received forms. In order to help the authors,
the conference organizers, and the publisher, we request that the submitted
manuscripts already follow the final layout. Therefore, please observe
carefully the instructions below.
1. The typing area is 16.7 x 25.8 cm (6.5 x 10 in.)
2. Do not use page numbers
3. Use a font (also tables and figures) large enough to withstand
reduction to 70%. Do not use font smaller than 11 points.
4. The title should be written in capital letters 2 cm from the top
of the first page, followed by the authors' names and addresses and
the abstract left-justified, indenting everything by 2 cm.
5. In the text, do not indent headings or captions.
6. Insert all tables, figures, and figure captions in the text at their
final positions.
7. For references in the text, use numbers in square brackets.
Submit 6 review copies of the manuscript.
FAX OR EMAIL SUBMISSIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTED.
With each manuscript, please indicate
- the name of the principal author
- the mail address, telephone, and fax numbers
- whether the paper in intended for oral or poster presentation
- which session it is submitted to (see sessions above). You can
also give two alternatives.
You will be notified of the review result by February 20, 1991, and the
authors of accepted papers will receive an authors' kit from the publisher.
Deadline for the final papers typed on the special forms is March 15, 1991.
NOTICE! The final camera-ready papers must be received by the Organizing
Committee by that date!
