IWANN'91 (International Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks) was held
in Granada (Spain) in September 1991. People from over 10 countries attended
the Workshop, and over 50 oral presentations were given.
IWANN'93 will be organised next June, 1993 in Sitges (Spain) with the
following Scope and Topics.
SCOPE
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were first developed as structural or
functional models of biological systems in an attempt to emulate their unique
problem-solving abilities.
The main interest in neural topics stems from their advantages in
plasticity, speed and autonomy over conventional hardware and software, which
have traditionally proven inadequate for handling certain tasks such as
perception, learning, planning, knowledge acquisition and natural language
processing.
IWANN's main objective is to offer a forum for achieving a global,
innovative and advanced perspective on ANN. In addition to conventional Neural
Networks aspects, such as algorithms, architectures, software development tools
, learning, implementations and applications, IWANN'93 will also be concerned
with other complementary topics such as neural computation theory and
methodology, physiological and anatomical basis, local computation models,
organization and structures resembling biological systems.
Contributions on the following aspects are welcome:
* New models for biological networks.
* New algorithms and architectures for autonomy and self-
programmability using local learning strategies.
* Relationship with symbolic and knowledge-based systems.
* New implementation proposals using general or specific processors.
Implementations with embedded learning are especially invited.
* Applications.
Finally, it is expected that IWANN'93 will also serve as a meeting point
for engineers and scientists to establish professional contacts and
relationships.
TOPICS
1 - BIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES: anatomical and physiological basis, local
circuits, biophysics and natural computation.
2 - THEORETICAL MODELS: analog, logic, inferential, statistical and
fuzzy models. Statistical mechanics.
3 - ORGANIZATIONAL PRINCIPLES: network dynamics, self-organization,
competition, recurrency, evolutive optimization and genetic
algorithms.
4 - LEARNING: supervised and unsupervised strategies, local self-
programming, continuous learning, evolutive algorithms
5 - COGNITIVE SCIENCE AND AI: perception and psychophysics, symbolic
reasoning and memory.
6 - NEURAL SOFTWARE: languages, tools, simulation and benchmarks.
7 - HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION: VLSI, parallel architectures,
neurochips, preprocessing networks, neurodevices,
benchmarks, optical and other technologies.
8 - NEURAL NETWORKS FOR SIGNAL PROCESSING: preprocessing, vision,
speech recognition, adaptive filtering, noise reduction.
9 - NEURAL NETWORKS FOR COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS: modems and codecs,
network management, digital communications.
10 - NEURAL NETWORKS FOR CONTROL AND ROBOTICS: system identification,
motion, adaptive control, navigation, real time applications.
LOCATION
SITGES (BARCELONA), JUNE 9 - 11, 1993.
Sitges is located 35 km. south of Barcelona. The city is well known for
its beaches and its promenade facing the Mediterranean sea. Sitges is also
known for its cultural events and history (Maricel museum, painters like
Santiago Rusinol lived there and left part of their heritage).
Sitges can be easily reached by car or by train (about 30 minutes from
Barcelona).
LANGUAGE
English will be the official language of IWANN'93. Simultaneous translation
will not be provided.
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Programme Committee seeks original papers on the above mentioned
Topics. Authors should pay special attention to the explanation of theoretical
and technical choices involved, point out possible limitations and describe the
current state of their work. Authors must take into account the following:
INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
Authors must submit four copies of full papers, not exceeding 6 pages in
DIN-A4 format.
The heading should be centered and include:
. Title in capitals.
. Name(s) of author(s).
. Address(es) of author(s).
. A 10 line abstract.
Three blank lines should be left between each of the above items, and
four between the heading and the body of the paper, 1.6 cm left, right, top and
bottom margins, single-spaced and not exceeding the 6 page limit.
In addition, one sheet should be attached including the following
information:
. Title and author(s) name(s).
. A list of five keywords.
. A reference to the Topics the paper relates to.
. Postal address, phone and fax numbers and E-mail (if
available).
All received papers will be reviewed by the Programme Committee.
Accepted papers may be presented orally or as poster panels, however all
accepted contributions will be published in full length.
(Springer-Verlag Proceedings are expected).
