                                CALL FOR PAPERS
                     EURASIP WORKSHOP ON NEURAL NETWORKS

                      
                              Sesimbra, Portugal
                              February 15-17, 1990

The workshop will be held at the Hotel do Mar in Sesimbra, Portugal.
It will take place in 1990, from February 15 morning to 17 noon, and
will be sponsored by EURASIP, the European Association for Signal
Processing. It will be open to participants from all countries, both
from inside and outside of Europe.

Contributions from all fields related to the neural network area are
welcome. A (non-exclusive) list of topics is given below. Care is being
taken to ensure that the workshop will have a high level of quality.
Proposed contributions will be evaluated by an international technical
committee. A proceedings volume will be published, and will be handed
to participants at the beginning of the workshop. The number of
participants will be limited to 50. Full contributions will
take the form of oral presentations, and will correspond to
papers in the proceedings. Some short contributions will also be accepted,
for presentation of ongoing work, projects (ESPRIT, BRAIN, DARPA,...),
etc. They will be presented in poster format, and will not originate
any written publication. A small number of non-contributing
participants may also be accepted. The official language of the
workshop will be English.


                                 TOPICS:

- signal processing (speech, image,...)
- pattern recognition
- algorithms (training procedures, new structures, speedups,...)
- generalization
- implementation
- specific applications where NN have been proved better than other
  approaches
- industrial projects and realizations
                        
                        SUBMISSION PROCEDURES:

Submissions, both for long and for short contributions, will consist of
(strictly) 2-page summaries. Three copies should be sent directly to the
Technical Chairman, at the address given below. The calendar for
contributions is as follows:
