                  FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
 
Thanks to the sponsorship of IEEE Signal Processing Society, the
co-sponsorship of IEEE Neural Network Council, the fifth of a series
of IEEE Workshops on Neural Networks for Signal Processing will be
held at the Royal Sonesta Hotel, Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Thursday
8/31 -- Saturday 9/2, 1995. Papers are solicited for, but not limited
to, the following topics:

++ APPLICATIONS:
Image, speech, communications, sensors, medical, adaptive
filtering, OCR, and other general signal processing and pattern
recognition topics.

++ THEORIES:
Generalization and regularization, system identification, parameter
estimation, new network architectures, new learning algorithms, and
wavelets in NNs. 

++ IMPLEMENTATIONS:
Software, digital, analog, hybrid technologies, parallel processing.


Prospective authors are invited to submit 5 copies of extended summaries
of no more than 6 pages. The top of the first page of the summary should
include a title, authors' names, affiliations, address, telephone and
fax numbers and e-mail address if any. Camera-ready full papers
of accepted proposals will be published in a hard-bound volume by IEEE
and distributed at the workshop.  For further information, please
contact Marney Smyth (Tel.) (617)-253-0547, (Fax) (617)-253-2964
(e-mail) marney at ai.mit.edu. 

We plan to use the World Wide Web (WWW) for posting further announcements 
on NNSP95 such as: submitted papers status, final program, hotel information 
etc. You can use MOSAIC and access URL site: http://www.cdsp.neu.edu.
If you do not have access to WWW use anonymous ftp to site ftp.cdsp.neu.edu
and look under the directory /pub/NNSP95.

Please send paper submissions to:
