Subject:  Hybrid Systems 



As you probably know, the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks
has, for the first time in IJCNN91/Singapore, a submission category for
hybrid systems research, officially titled ``Hybrid Systems (AI, Neural
Networks, Fuzzy Systems)".  Some have argued that a better descriptor will
eventually be "General Intelligent Systems".  In any case, coupled (loose or
tight), composit, or hybrid systems are meant to be included in the concept.

The conference is sponsored by IEEE and co-sponsored by INNS and will be
held at the Westin Stamford and Westin Plaza Hotels in Singapore, November
18-21, 1991.  This is a significant milestone, a response to and recognition
of the growing importance of systems that integrate various machine
intelligence technologies across traditional boundaries.  This meeting will
help define the field, its foundations, and its founders.  I am writing
to urge you to participate in this historically significant event.

Full details on paper submissions are published as page 407 in the May,
1991, issue of IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks. Note that the deadline
for RECEIPT of manuscripts is May 31, 1991.
