Dear colleagues,


The organizing committee of DYNN'2000 is pleased to announce the
programm of the international workshop to be held in Bielfeld, Germany
from Monday, Nov.24 to Friday Nov 24, 2000. This multidisciplinary
workshop is devoted to the study of natural aand artificial neural
networks viewed as dynamical systems evolving under environmental
pressure For further information, visit our website
<http://www.cert.fr/anglais/deri/dauce/DYNN2000>.

After the previous editions of Toulouse (1996) and Stockhom (1998),
DYNN'2000 will take place at the ZIF in Bielefeld University in the
frame of the Forschungsgruppe "The Sciences of Complexity: From
Mathematics to Technology to a Sustainable World."

Students are strongly encouraged to attend DYNN'2000. The registration
fees are specially low for doctorate students and some university
rooms are reserved for their lodging during the workshop. Details
regarding how students can apply for these rooms are available on the
DYNN'2000 web site.

We apologize, in advance, for any redundant messages that you may
receive. Thank you for your time in reading this message. If you have
any further questions, you may contact me at: samuelid at supaero.fr .
