            IJCNN 2007 Call For Papers


2007 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks
                    Orlando, Florida
                  August 12-17, 2007

       Celebrating 20 years of Neural Networks!

              http://www.ijcnn2007.org

The 2007 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2007),
sponsored by the International Neural Network Society and co- 
sponsored by the
IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, is the premier event in the  
field of
neural networks. It covers all topics in neural network theories and
applications, including, but not limited to:

- Neural network models and analysis
- Connectionist cognitive science and cognitive modeling (language,  
reasoning,
   perception, learning, memory, consciousness, emotion, etc.)
- Computational neuroscience
- Neuroengineering
- Cognitive robotics, developmental robotics, and neural robotics
- Data analysis and pattern recognition
- Signal processing and image processing
- Neural control
- Neuroinformatics
- Hybrid neural-symbolic, neuro-fuzzy, neuro-evolutionary systems, etc.
- Bayesian models and other graphical models
- Kernel methods
- Learning methods: supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement
- Approximate dynamic programming and neural network approaches to  
optimization
- Neural dynamics, complex systems, and chaos
- Hardware implementations of neural networks and neuromorphic  
engineering
- Neural networks applications (expert systems, embedded systems,  
data mining,
   Multi-agent systems, financial engineering, bioinformatics,  
telecommunication,
   manufacturing, etc.)

IJCNN 2007 will feature plenary speakers, special sessions, moderated  
panel
discussions, pre-conference tutorials, post-conference workshops,  
regular
technical sessions, poster sessions, and social functions.

Prospective authors are invited to submit complete papers of no more  
than six
(6) pages (including results, figures, tables, and references) in IEEE
two-column format. Authors should submit their papers in PDF through the
online submission system, which will be available at the website:
http://www.ijcnn2007.org.

Call for Special Sessions and Panel Discussions:

The IJCNN 2007 Program Committee solicits proposals for special  
sessions and
panel discussions within the technical scope of the conference. Special
sessions and panel discussions are to be organized by
experts and aimed to bring together researchers around a focused  
topic. Special
sessions and panel discussions have become both a tradition and an  
important
component of the IJCNN. Papers submitted for special sessions or panel
discussions are to be peer-reviewed with the same criteria used for
regular contributed papers.

Researchers interested in organizing a special session or a panel are  
invited
to submit a formal proposal to the Special Sessions Chair or the  
Panels Chair,
respectively.  Special session or panel proposals should include the  
session
title, a brief description of its scope, motivation, its appeal to the
attendees of this conference, organizer names and contact  
information, and
brief CVs of the organizers.

Call for Pre-Conference Tutorials and Post-Conference Workshops:

IJCNN 2007 will feature a number of pre-conference tutorials and
post-conference workshops covering fundamental and advanced topics in  
neural
networks (broadly defined). Pre-conference tutorial and post-conference
workshop proposals, submitted  to the Tutorials Chair and Workshops
Chair, respectively, are requested, and should include title, outline,
motivation, appeal to the conference attendees, expected enrollment, and
organizers' CVs.

Important Dates:
Special Session and Panel Discussion Proposals: November 31, 2006
Paper Submission: January 31, 2007
Pre-Conference Tutorial and Post-Conference Workshop Proposals:  
January 31, 2007
Decision Notification: March 31, 2007
Camera-Ready Submission: April 30, 2007
