*Description of the workshop*

This workshop is designed to explore the current advances, challenges and
best practices for working with and implementing algorithms on neuromorphic
hardware. Despite growing availability of prominent biologically inspired
architectures and corresponding interest, practical guidelines and results
are scattered and disparate. This leads to wasted repeated effort and poor
exposure of state-of-the-art results. We collect cutting edge results from
a variety of application spaces providing both an up-to-date, in-depth
discussion for domain experts as well as an accessible starting point for
newcomers.

*Goals & Objectives*

The goal is to bring together algorithm and architecture researchers and
help facilitate how challenges each face can be overcome for mutual
benefit. In particular, by focusing on neuromorphic hardware practice and
use, an emphasis on understanding the strengths and weaknesses of these
emerging approaches can help to identify and convey the significance of
research developments.

*Scope and Topics:*

Neuromorphic hardware; benchmarks and comparisons; applications, software,
and toolkits; algorithms; workflows and integration

*Submission Guidelines:*

The workshop requests submissions to follow IEEE conference style similar
to the main conference.  Papers should be submitted in pdf format with a
maximum length of 2 pages (excluding references and acknowledgements).
Appendices are not permitted beyond the 2 page limit.  Submissions will be
selected according to reviewer's comments and scoring with emphasis on
quality, novelty, appropriateness for the workshop and potential impact on
the field.


*Important Dates:*


   - Paper submission deadline: 30 April 2018
   - Paper submissions sent to reviewers: 1 May 2018
   - Decisions sent to submission authors: 10 May 2018
