Tutorial Proposals
EANN2003 is soliciting tutorial proposals, covering any area of 
neurocomputing from theory to implementation guidelines for the benefit 
of the participants. 

Location
The conference will take place in a hotel of the Costa del Sol by the 
Mediterranean sea in southern Spain, 12 km west of Malaga. The hotel is 
located near the beach and yacht harbour  "Puerto Marina"  and less than
