                     First call for papers
    Sponsored by the Brazilian Computer Science Society (SBC)


You are cordially invited to attend the II Brazilian Symposium on 
Neural Networks (SBRN) which will be held at the University of
Sao Paulo, campus of Sao Carlos, Sao Paulo.  Sao Carlos with its 
160.000 population is a pleasant university city known by its 
clima and high technology companies.  

Scientific papers will be analyzed by the program committee. This 
analysis will take into account originality, significance to the 
area, and clarity.  Accepted papers  will be fully published in the
conference proceedings. 

The major topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Applications  
    Architecture and Topology
    Biological Perspectives
    Cognitive Science
    Dynamic Systems
    Fuzzy Logic
    Genetic Algorithms
    Hardware Implementation
    Hybrid Systems
    Learning Models
    Otimisation
    Parallel and Distributed Implementations
