GNN 92 call for papers

[Steven C. Suddarth]

The following is an announcement for the 3rd annual GNN meeting.   
It is one of the few refereed forums for applications.  Last year  
we accepted about one out of four papers, and generally had an  
interesting meeting.  The meeting ws also useful for those seeking  
collaborators.  If you have made any significant contributions to a  
neural-network oriented application, you may want to submit an  
abstract.

The 1992 Government Neural Network Applications Workshop will be  
held from 24-28 August at the Hope Hotel, Wright-Patterson AFB,  
Ohio.  The tentative schedule is: 
 
              24 Aug  -  Registration and Tutorial 
           25-27 Aug  -  Main Meeting 
                           (includes export-controlled session) 
              28 Aug  -  Classified Meeting (tentative) 
 
*	Authors are invited to submit abstracts on any application- 
oriented topic of interest to government agencies, this inludes: 
 
  - Image/speech/signal    - Man-machine        - Detection and 
    processing               interface            classification 
 
  - Guidance and control   - Medicine           - Robotics 
 
*	Presentations will be selected based upon two-page abstracts.   
Please note that ABSTRACTS LONGER THAN TWO PAGES WILL BE RETURNED.  
Also, the ABSTRACT DEADLINE IS APRIL 15, 1992.  Abstracts should be  
accompanied by a cover letter stating the affiliation, address and  
phone number of the author.  The cover letter should also state  
whether the presentation will be unclassified (open dissemination),  
unclassified (export controlled) or classified.  Send abstracts to  
the following addresses

*	The export-controlled session will be open to U.S. citizens  
only.  Please use this session for unclassified material that you  
wish to present in a limited way. 
 
*	Classified abstracts must contain a description of the  
classified portion and authors must make clear why classified  
material is important to the presentation.  Please note that any  
"classified" abstracts without well marked classified content will  
be automatically rejected.  Finally, the classified meeting will  
only take place if the classified program committee deems there to  
be a sufficient number of quality papers on worthwhile classified  
subjects.  If authors are concerned about reducing the  
dissemination of unclassified material, they should use the export- 
controlled session of the main meeting.  If the classified portion  
is unimportant to the main thrust of the abstract, it should be  
"sanitized" and submitted as unclassified.  If accepted, classified  
authors will be allotted space in the proceedings for an (optional)  
unclassified paper. 
 
*	Registration fees are not yet final, but they are expected to  
be in the $200 to $300 range, and they will include some meals. 
 
*	The all-day tutorial on August 24 will be conducted by AFIT  
faculty.  It will be oriented toward those who are new to the field  
and would like sufficient background for the remainder of the  
meeting.  There will be no extra cost for the tutorial. 
 
Thanks to the Army, last year's meeting was a big hit. It was one  
of the few selective application-oriented meetings in this field.   
We look forward to your presence, and we know that you will find  
this meeting informative and useful whether you are currently  
building neural network applications, are thinking about them, or  
are contributing to theories that underpin them.
