IWANN'95. The third International Workshop on artificial
Neural Networks, will take place in the Spanish "Costa del Sol"
(Malaga) from 7 to 9 of June, 1995. This biennial meeting with
focus on Biological Models and New Computing Paradigms, was first
held in Granada (1991) and Sitges (1993) with a growing number of
participants from more than 20 countries and with high quality
papers published by Springer-Verlag (LNCS 540 and 686).
SCOPE
From the computational viewpoint, standard neural networks
paradigms are nearly exhausted and some fresh air is needed. In
this workshop, remaining with the powerful roots of neural
computation (modularity, autonomy, distributed computation and
self-programming via supervised or non-supervised learning),
focus is placed on Biological Modeling, the search of Theory and
Design Methodologies and the bridge between Connectionism and
Symbolic Computation.
IWANN's main objective is to offer an interdisciplinary
forum for scientists and engineers from Neurology, Computer
Science, Artificial Intelligence, Electronics, Cognitive Science
and applied domains, looking after brain storming and innovative
formulations of Natural and Artificial Neural Computation.
It is the deep feeling of the IWANN's organizers that this
more-complex, biologically inspired, and theoretical and
methodologically supported approach will also provide us with
more powerful tools for applied domains.
Contributions on the following or related topics are
welcome.
TOPICS
1. Neuroscience: (Principles, methodologies in brain
research, modeling and simulation, central and peripheral neural
coding, dendro-dentritic nets, local circuits, anatomical and
physiological organizations, plasticity, learning and memory in
natural neural nets, models of development and evolution,
specific circuits in sensorial and motor pathways, networks in
cerebral cortex).
2. Computational Models of Neurons and Neural Nets:
Continuous (linear, high order, recurrent), logic, sequential,
inferential (object oriented, production rules, frames),
probabilistic, Bayesian, fuzzy and chaotic models, hybrid
formulations, massive computation and learning enabling
structures for all these formulations.
3. Organizational Principles: The living organization,
deterministic networks dynamics, autopoiesis, self-organization,
cooperative processes and emergent computation, synergetics,
evolutive optimization and genetic algorithms.
4. Learning: Inspirations from the biological mechanisms
of learning, supervised and unsupervised strategies, local
self-programming, continous learning, evolutive algorithms,
symbolic-subsymbolic formulations.
5. Cognitive Science and AI: Neural networks for knowledge
acquisition, multisensorial integration, perception, knowledge-
based neural nets, inductive, deductive and abductive reasoning,
memory mechanisms, natural language.
6. Neurosimulators: Languages, environments,
parallelization, modularity, extensibility and benchmarks.
7. Hardware Implementation: VLSI, parallel architectures,
neurochips, preprocessing networks, neurodevices, FPGA's,
benchmarks, optical and other technologies.
8. Neural Networks for Perception: Low level processing,
segmentation, feature extraction, pattern recognition, adaptive
filtering, noise reduction, texture, motion analysis, hybrid
symbolic-neural architectures for artificial vision.
9. Neural Networks for communications systems: Modems and
codecs, network management, digital communications.
10. Neural Networks for control and robotics: Systems
identification, motion planning and control, adaptive and
predictive control, navigation, real time applications.
LOCATION
Malaga - Costa del Sol, June 7-9, 1995.
Malaga, capital of the Costa del Sol, is strategically
located on the southern coast of Spain. It is a genuine
crossroads of communication and culture. Malaga is well-know for
its history (Cathedral, historic down-town, arabian citadel,
roman amphitheatre, ...) and excelent beaches.
Malaga, with many modern hotels, is very well communicated
by car or plane; its international airport has direct flights to
all major European capitals, to America and some destinations on
the other continents.
LANGUAGE
English will the official language of IWANN'95. Simultaneous
translation will not be provided.
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Programme Committee seeks original papers on the above
mentioned Topics. Authors should pay special attention to
explanation of theoretical and technical choices involved, point
out possible limitations and describe the current state of their
work. Authors must take into account the following:
INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
Authors must submit four copies of full papers, not
exceeding 8 pages in DIN-A4 format.
The heading should be centered and include:
. Title in capitals.
. Name(s) of author(s).
. Address(es) of author(s).
. A 10 line abstract.
Three blank lines should be left between each of the above
items, and four between the heading and the body of the paper,
1.6 cm left, right, top and bottom margins, single-spaced and not
exceeding the 8 page limit.
In addition, one sheet should be attached including the
following information:
. Title and author(s) name(s).
. A list of five keywords.
. A reference to the Topics the paper relates to.
. Postal address, phone and fax numbers and E-mail
(if available).
All received papers will be reviewed by the Programme
Committee. Accepted papers may be presented orally or as poster
panels, however all accepted contributions will be published in
full length. (Springer-Verlag Proceedings are expected).
