CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION / WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

 

ICONIP2013 welcomes proposals for special sessions/workshop. Special session
will be held during the conference. The aim of a special session is to
provide the state-of-the-art and current research direction in specific
fields of neural information processing. The special sessions devoted to
emerging topics with growing attention are particularly encouraged. We also
invite proposals for full-day or half-day workshops in relevant and current
topics in neural information processing. Workshops will be held on 3
November 2013, the first day of the conference. A workshop should include an
introductory talk on the topic and will have final discussions at the end of
the workshop. Apart from the introductory talk and the discussion, workshop
should preferably include six or more additional presentations.

 

Researchers and prospective organizers are invited to submit a one-page
proposal for a special session/workshop to the ICONIP 2013 secretariat or
each chair via the following emails before 15 May 2013.
