Australian neural networks conference, Feb 1991

[Janet Wiles]

		   PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT

	SECOND AUSTRALIAN CONFERENCE ON NEURAL NETWORKS

			  (ACNN'91)

		    4th - 6th February 1991

		    THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY
		       SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

The second Australian conference on neural networks will be held in Sydney
on Feb 4, 5 and 6, 1991, at the Stephen Roberts Theatre, The University
of Sydney.  This conference is interdisciplinary, with emphasis on cross
discipline communication between Neuroscientists, Engineers, Computer 
Scientists, Mathematicians and Psychologists concerned with understanding 
the integrative nature of the nervous system and its implementation in 
hardware/software.

Neuroscientists concerned with understanding the integrative function of 
neural networks in vision, audition, motor, somatosensory and autonomic 
functions are invited to participate and learn how modelling these systems 
can be used to sharpen the design of experiments as well as to interpret 
data.

Mathematicians and computer scientists concerned with the various new 
neural network algorithms that have recently become available, as well 
as with statistical thermodynamic approaches to network modelling and 
simulation are also invited to contribute.

Engineers concerned with the advantages which parallel and distributed 
computing architectures offer in the solution of various classes of 
problems and with the state of the art techniques in the hardware 
implementation of neural network systems are also invited to participate.

Psychologists interested in computational models of cognition and
perception are invited to contribute and to learn about neural network
techniques and their biological and hardware implementations.

ACNN'91 will feature invited keynote speakers in the areas of 
neuroscience, learning, modelling and implementations. The program will
include pre-conference workshops, presentations and poster sessions. 
Proceedings will be printed and distributed to the attendees.
