Dear Colleagues:

This is to inform you of an organizational change in the Extended BISC
Special Seminar which was announced on February 4. 

Most of speakers in the regular BISC Seminar are associated with
companies and universities in the Bay area. The motivations for the
Extended BISC Seminar was to take  advantage of the presence in the Bay
area of some of the leading contributors to fuzzy logic and neural 
network theory from abroad, who will be participating in FUZZ-IEEE'93 /
ICNN'93.

A problem which became apparent is that because both the Extended BISC
Seminar and the FUZZ-IEEE'93/ICNN'93 tutorials are scheduled to take
place on the same day, the BISC Seminar may have an adverse effect on
registration for the conference tutorilas.

To resolve this problem, it was felt that it may be nessary to restrict
attendance at the Extended BISC Seminar to students and faculty in the
Bay area who normally attend the BISC Seminar. In this way, the Extended
BISC Seminar would serve its usual role and at the same time bring to
the Berkeley Campus some of the leading contributors to soft computing. 

The publicity for the Extended BISC Seminar will state that attendance
is limited to students and faculty in the Bay area.

Sincerely,


BISC (Berkeley Initiative for Soft Computing)
