---------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the regular NIPS program, workshops on current topics
in Neural Information Processing
will be held on November 30 and December 1, 1990, at a ski resort near Denver.
Proposals by qualified individuals interested in chairing one of these
workshops are solicited.

Past topics have included:  Rules and Connectionist Models;
Speech; Vision; Neural Network Dynamics; Neurobiology; 
Computational Complexity Issues; 
Fault Tolerance in Neural Networks;  Benchmarking and Comparing
Neural Network Applications;  Architectural Issues;  Fast Training
Techniques; VLSI; Control; Optimization; Statistical Inference;
Genetic Algorithms.

The format of the workshops is informal.  Beyond reporting on
past research, their goal is to provide a forum for scientists
actively working in the field to freely discuss current issues of
concern and interest.  Sessions will meet in the morning and
in the afternoon of both days, with free time in between for
ongoing individual exchange or outdoor activities.
Specific open or controversial issues are encouraged and
preferred as workshop topics.  Individuals interested in chairing
a workshop must propose a topic of current interest and must
be willing to accept responsibility for their group's discussion.
Discussion leaders' responsibilities include: arrange
brief informal presentations by experts working on this
topic, moderate or lead the discussion, and report its high points,
findings and conclusions to the group during evening plenary sessions,
and in a short (2 page) summary.

Submission Procedure:  Interested parties should submit a short
proposal for a workshop of interest by May 17, 1990.  Proposals
should include a title and a short description of what the workshop
is to address and accomplish.  It should state why the topic is
of interest or controversial, why it should be discussed and what
the targeted group of participants is.  In addition, please send a
brief resume of the prospective workshop chair, list of publications
and evidence of scholarship in the field of interest.

Name, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail net address (if applicable)
must be on all submissions.
