First announcement and call for papers
______________________________________
Invitation and Scope of the conference
______________________________________
In 1995, the third European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks
will be organized in Brussels, Belgium. The two first successful
editions each gathered about 100 scientists, coming from Western
and Eastern Europe, but also from USA, Japan, Australia, New
Zealand,...
The field of Artificial Neural Networks includes a lot of different
disciplines, from mathematics and statistics to robotics and
electronics. For this reason, actual studies concern various
aspects of the field, sometimes to the detriment of strong, well
established foundations for these researches; it is obvious that a
better knowledge of the basic aspects of neurocomputing, and more
effective comparisons with other computing methods are strongly
necessary for a profitable long-term use of neural networks in
applications.
The purpose of the ESANN conferences is to present the latest
results in the fundamental aspects of artificial neural networks.
Invited and survey talks will also present a comprehensive view of
particular topics of the conference. The program committee of
ESANN'95 welcomes papers covering new results or being of tutorial
nature, and dealing with theoretical, biological or mathematical
aspects of artificial neural networks, or with the relations
between neural networks and other fields. The following is a
non-exhaustive list of topics which will be covered during
ESANN'95 :
+ theory
+ models and architectures
+ mathematics
+ learning algorithms
+ biologically plausible artificial networks
+ formal models of biological phenomena
+ neurobiological systems
+ approximation of functions
+ adaptive behavior
+ signal processing
+ statistics
+ self-organization
+ evolutive learning
Invited talks will be given by H.P. Mallot (Max-Planck-Institut fur
Biologische Kybernetik, Tbingen, Germany), and by P. Comon
(Thomson-Sintra Sophia Antipolis, France). Other invited talks are
to be announced.
The conference will be held in the center of Brussels, the capital
of 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, for its famous and typical Belgian food,
and for its considerable night life.
Call for contributions
______________________
Prospective authors are invited to submit six originals of their
contribution before November 29, 1994. 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.
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: Fig. 3. Text follows ...
The pages of the manuscript will not be numbered (numbering decided
by the editor).
AUTHORS ARE STRONGLY INVITED TO ASK FOR THE FULL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR AUTHORS (see coordinates below).
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 95:
- 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 95, 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. Examples
of camera-ready contributions can be obtained by writing to the
same address.
