There will be a Neural Nets Workshop Granada (Spain) next September. I think
this is the first international workshop of this kind that will be held in
Spain, I hope all of you can send contributions and participate.
Here I send you the electronic version of the CFP followed by the LaTeX
version. If you have any question about the workshop, please ask me or the
people of the workshop secretary. I'm not on the organization but I can help
finding people etc...
About Granada, I can tell you this is one of the most wonderful cities in the
Spain and ... in the World. It has one of the most famous and wonder arab
contributions to the culture, "La Alhambra", and small and quiet lanes on the
old side of the city, the "Albaicin", that transmit the visitor a very good
feeling.
I hope you be able to participate and enjoy... See you in Granada.

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
ON
ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
IWANN'91
First Announcement and Call for Papers
Granada, Spain
September 17-19, 1991
ORGANISED AND SPONSORED BY
Spanish Chapter of the Computer Society of the IEEE,
AEIA (IEEE Affiliate Society), and
Department of Electronic and Computer Technology.
University of Granada. Spain.
SCOPE
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were first developed as structural or
functional modelling systems of natural ones, featuring the ability to perform
problem-solving tasks. They can be thought as computing arrays consisting of
series of repetitive uniform processors (neuron-like elements) placed on a
grid. Learning is achieved by changing the interconnections between these
processing elements. Hence, these systems are also called connectionist
models.
ANN has become a subject of wide-spread interest: they offer an odd
scheme-based programming standpoint and exhibit higher computing speeds than
conventional von-Neumann architectures, thus easing or even enabling handling
complex task such as artificial vision, speech recognition, information
recovery in noisy environments or general pattern recognition.
In ANN systems, collective information management is achieved by means of
parallel operation of neuron-like elements, into which information processing
is distributed. It is intended to exploit this highly parallel processing
capability as far as possible in complex problem-solving tasks.
Cross-fertilization between the domains of artificial and real neural nets
is desirable. The more genuine problems of biological computation and
information processing in the nervous system still remain open and
contributions in this line are more than welcome. Methodology, theoretical
frames, structural and organizational principles in neuroscience,
self-organizing and co- operative processes and knowledge based descriptions
of neural tissue are relevant topics to bridge the gap between the artificial
and natural perspectives.
The workshop intends to serve as a meeting place for engineers and
scientists working in this area, so that present contacts and relationships
can be further increased. The workshop will comprise two complementary
activities:
. scientific and technical conferences, and
. scientific communications sessions.
TOPICS
The workshop is open to all aspects of artificial neural networks, including:
1. Neural network theories. Neural models.
2. Biological perspectives
3. Neural network architectures and algorithms.
4. Software developments and tools.
5. Hardware implementations
6. Applications.
LOCATION
Facultad de Ciencias
Campus Universitario de Fuentenueva
Universidad de Granada
18071 GRANADA. (SPAIN)
LANGUAGES
English and Spanish will be the official working languages. English is
preferable as the working language.
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Programme Committee seeks original papers on the six above mentioned
areas. Survey papers on the various available approaches or particular
application domains are also sought.
In their submitted papers, authors should pay particular attention to
explaining the theoretical and technical choices involved, to make clear the
limitations encountered and to describe the current state of development of
their work.
INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
Three copies of submitted papers (not exceeding 8 pages in 21x29.7 cms
(DIN-A4), with 1,6 cm. left, right, top and bottom margins) should be received
by the Programme Chairman at the address below before June 20, 1991.
The headlines should be centered and include:
. the title of paper in capitals
. the name(s) of author(s)
. the address(es) of author(s), and
. a 10 line abstract.
Three blank lines should be left between each of the above items, and four
between the headlines and the body of the paper, written in English,
single-spaced and not exceeding the 8 pages limit.
All papers received will be refereed by the Programme Committee. The
Committee will communicate their decision to the authors on July 10. Accepted
papers will be published in the proceedings to be distributed to workshop
participants.
In addition to the paper, one sheet should be attached including the
following information:
. the title of the paper,
. the name(s) of author(s),
. a list of five keywords,
. a reference to which of the six topics the paper concerns,
and
. postal address of one of the authors, with phone and fax
numbers, and E-mail (if available).
We intend to get in touch with various international publishers (such as
Springer-Verlag and Prentice-Hall) for the final version of the proceedings.
