-----------------------
Scope of the conference
-----------------------
ESANN'93 was held in Brussels, in April 1993. It gathered more than 80
scientists, from about 15 countries, who wanted to learn more about the
last developments in the theory of neural networks.
The European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks will be organized for
the second time in April 1994, and, as in 1993, will focus on the
fundamental aspects of the artificial neural network research. Today,
thousands of researchers work in this field; they try to develop new
algorithms, to mimic properties found in natural networks, to develop
parallel computers based on these properties, and to use artificial neural
networks in new application areas. But the field is new, and has expanded
drastically in about ten years; this lead to a lack of theoretical works in
the subject, and also to a lack of comparisons between new methods and more
classical ones.
The purpose of ESANN is to cover the theoretical and fundamental aspects of
neural networks; the symposium is intended to give to the participants an
up-to-date and comprehensive view of these aspects, by the presentation of
new results and new developments, of tutorial papers covering the relations
between neural networks and classical methods of computing, and also by
round tables confronting views of specialists and non-specialists of the
field. The program committee of ESANN'94 welcomes papers in the following
aspects of artificial neural networks:
theory
models and architectures
mathematics
learning algorithms
biologically plausible artificial networks
neurobiological systems
adaptive behavior
signal processing
statistics
self-organization
evolutive learning
Accepted papers will cover new results in one or several of these aspects
or will be of tutorial nature. Papers insisting on the relations between
artificial neural networks and classical methods of information processing,
signal processing or statistics are encouraged.

Call for contributions
----------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit six originals of their
contribution before November 26, 1993. Working language of the conference
(including proceedings) is English.
Papers should not exceed six A4 pages (including figures and references).
Printing area will be 12.2 x 19.3 cm (centered on the A4 page); left,
right, top and bottom margins will thus respectively be 4.4, 4.4, 5.2 and
5.2 cm. 10-point Times font will be used for the main text; headings will
be in bold characters, (but not underlined), and will be separated from the
main text by two blank lines before and one after. Manuscripts prepared in
this format will be reproduced in the same size in the book.
The first page will begin by a heading, indented 1cm left and right with
regards to the main text (the heading will thus have left and right margins
of 5.4 cm). The heading will contain the title (Times 14 point, bold,
centered), one blank line, the author(s) name(s) (Times 10 point,
centered), one blank line, the affiliation (Times 9 point, centered), one
blank line, and the abstract (Times 9 point, justified, beginning by the
word "Abstract." in bold face).
Originals of the figures will be pasted into the manuscript and centered
between the margins. The lettering of the figures should be in 10-point
Times font size. Figures should be numbered. The legends also should be
centered between the margins and be written in 9-point Times font size as
follows:
The pages of the manuscript will not be numbered (numbering decided by the
editor).
A separate page (not included in the manuscript) will indicate:
the title of the manuscript
author(s) name(s)
the complete address (including phone & fax numbers and E-mail) of the
corresponding author
a list of five keywords or topics
On the same page, the authors will copy and sign the following paragraph:
"in case of acceptation of the paper for presentation at ESANN 94:
- at least one of the authors will register to the conference and will
present the paper
- the author(s) give their rights up over the paper to the organizers of
ESANN 94, for the proceedings and any publication that could directly be
generated by the conference
- if the paper does not match the format requirements for the proceedings,
the author(s) will send a revised version within two weeks of the
notification of acceptation."
Contributions must be sent to the conference secretariat. Prospective
authors are invited to ask examples of camera-ready contributions by
writing to the same address.

Local details
-------------
The conference will be held in the center of Brussels (Belgium). Close to
most great European cities, Brussels is exceptionally well served by
closely-knit motorway and railway systems, and an international airport.
Besides an artistic and cultural center of attraction, Brussels is also
renowned for its countless typical cafs, form the most unassuming to the
most prestigious. Belgian food is typical and famous, and the night life
in Brussels is considerable.
---------
Deadlines
---------
Submission of papers November 26, 1993
Notification of acceptance January 17, 1994
Symposium April 20-22, 1994
------
Grants
------
A limited number of grants (registration fees and economic accommodation)
will be given to young scientists coming from the European Community (Human
Capital and Mobility program, European Community - DG XII). Grants will
also probably be available for scientists from Central and Eastern European
countries. Please write to the conference secretariat to get an
application form for these grants.
