Due to numerous requests, the deadline to submit papers to the ESANN 2010 conference has been extended to December 2, 2009. Note that this extended deadline is strict: no further extension will be given.
The message below is a reminder of the call for papers.
Looking forward to seeing you at ESANN 2010,
The organizing committee.
ESANN 2010
18th European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks,
Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning
Bruges (Belgium) - April 28-29-30, 2010
Announcement and call for papers
===================================================
The call for papers for the ESANN'2010 conference is now available at the following URL:
http://www.dice.ucl.ac.be/esann
For those of you who maintain WWW pages including lists of related ANN sites: we would appreciate if you could add the above URL to your list; thank you very much!
We make all possible efforts to avoid sending multiple copies of this call for papers; however we apologize if you receive this e-mail twice, despite our precautions.
***** Extended deadline for submission of papers: December 2, 2009 *****
You will find below a short version of this call for papers, without the instructions to authors (available on the Web).
ESANN'2010 is organized in collaboration with the UCL (Universite catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve) and the KULeuven (Katholiek Universiteit Leuven). The conference is technically co-sponsored by the International Neural Networks Society, the European Neural Networks Society, the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, the IEEE Region 8, the IEEE Benelux Section (sponsors to be confirmed).
Scope and topics
----------------
Since its first happening in 1993, ESANN has become a reference for researchers on fundamentals and theoretical aspects of artificial neural networks, computational intelligence, machine learning and related topics. Each year, around 100 specialists attend ESANN, in order to present their latest results and comprehensive surveys, and to discuss the future developments in this field.
The ESANN'2010 conference will follow this tradition, while adapting its scope to the new developments in the field. The ESANN conferences cover artificial neural networks, machine learning, statistical information processing and computational intelligence. Mathematical foundations, algorithms and tools, and applications are covered.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of machine learning, computational intelligence and artificial neural networks topics covered during the ESANN conferences:
THEORY and MODELS
Statistical and mathematical aspects of learning
Feedforward models
Kernel machines
Graphical models, EM and Bayesian learning
Vector quantization and self-organizing maps
Recurrent networks and dynamical systems
Blind signal processing
Ensemble learning
Nonlinear projection and data visualization
Fuzzy neural networks
Evolutionary computation
Bio-inspired systems
INFORMATION PROCESSING and APPLICATIONS
Data mining
Signal processing and modeling
Approximation and identification
Classification and clustering
Feature extraction and dimension reduction
Time series forecasting
Multimodal interfaces and multichannel processing
Adaptive control
Vision and sensory systems
Biometry
Bioinformatics
Brain-computer interfaces
Neuroinformatics
Papers will be presented orally (single track) and in poster sessions; all posters will be complemented by a short oral presentation during a plenary session. It is important to mention that the topics of a paper decide if it better fits into an oral or a poster session, not its quality. The selection of posters will be identical to oral presentations, and both will be printed in the same way in the proceedings. Nevertheless, authors must indicate their preference for oral or poster presentation when submitting their paper.

Location
--------
The conference will be held in Bruges (also called "Venice of the North"), one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Europe. Bruges can be reached by train from Brussels in less than one hour (frequent trains). The town of Bruges is world-wide known, and famous for its architectural style, its canals, and its pleasant atmosphere.
The conference will be organized in a hotel located near the centre (walking distance) of the town. There is no obligation for the participants to stay in this hotel. Hotels of all levels of comfort and price are available in Bruges; there is a possibility to book a room in the hotel of the conference at a preferential rate through the conference secretariat. A list of other smaller hotels is also available.
The conference will be held at the Novotel hotel, Katelijnestraat 65B, 8000 Brugge, Belgium.
Proceedings and journal special issue
-------------------------------------
The proceedings will include all communications presented to the conference (tutorials, oral and posters), and will be available on-site. Extended versions of selected papers will be published in the Neurocomputing journal (Elsevier).
Call for contributions
----------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit their contributions before November 25, 2009. The electronic submission procedure is described on the ESANN portal http://www.dice.ucl.ac.be/esann/.
Authors must also commit themselves that they will register to the conference and present the paper in case of acceptation of their submission (one paper per registrant). Authors of accepted papers will have to register before February 28, 2010; they will benefit from the advance registration fee. The ESANN conference applies a strict policy about the presentation of accepted papers during the conference: authors of accepted papers who do not show up at the conference will be blacklisted for future ESANN conferences, and the lists will be communicated to other conference organizers.
Deadlines
---------
Submission of papers 2 December 2009 (extended deadline)
Notification of acceptance 18 January 2010
