=============================================================================
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 pa-
radigms 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 Biolo-
gical 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, Artifi-
cial 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.
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).
Coordinated inscription with the 3rd. European Conference on Artifi-
cial Life (ECAL95), to be held in Granada, JUNE 4-6,1995, is possible at
special rates. Malaga and Granada are only one and a half hour apart by
car.
Contributions on the following or related topics are welcome.
=============================================================================
TOPICS
1. Neuroscience: Principles, methodologies in brain research, mo-
deling and simulation, central and peripheral neural coding,
dendro-dendritic nets, local circuits, anatomical and physiolo-
gical organizations, plasticity, learning and memory in natural
neural nets, models of development and evolution, specific cir-
cuits in sensorial and motor pathways, networks in the ce-
rebral 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 for-
mulations.
3 Organizational Principles: The living organization, determi-
nistic networks dynamics, autopoiesis, self-organization,
cooperative processes and emergent computation, synergetics,
evolutive optimization and genetic algorithms.
4. Learning: Inspirations from the biological mechanisms of lear-
ning, supervised and unsupervised strategies, local self-
programming, continous learning, evolutive algorithms,
symbolic-subsymbolic formulations.
5. Cognitive Science and AI: Neural networks for knowledge acqui-
sition, multisensorial integration, perception, knowledge-based
neural nets, inductive, deductive and abductive reasoning, me-
mory mechanisms, natural language.
6. Neurosimulators: Languages, environments, parallelization, mo-
dularity, extensibility and benchmarks.
7. Hardware Implementation: VLSI, parallel architectures, neuro-
chips, preprocessing networks, neurodevices, FPGA's, benchmarks,
optical and other technologies.
8. Neural Networks for Perception: Low level processing, segmenta-
tion, feature extraction, pattern recognition, adaptive filte-
ring, 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.
In June, weather is warm and pleasant. Averages temperatures:18-30C.
Comfortable walking shoes, light clothes and bathing suits are recommended.
TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODATION
Viajes El Corte Ingles is the official travel and accomodation agent
for the Workshop, and will provide all the necessary tourist services to
participants: Travel arrangements, Accommodation, Rent-a-car, Pre and Post
Workshop sightseeings tours, etc.
