            REGISTRATION, INFORMATION
*****************************************************************************
Over the last four years, the ENNS - European Neural Network Society - 
has held its annual conference ICANN in Helsinki (1991), Brighton (1992),
Amsterdam (1993) and Sorrento (1994). 
This conference has become the foremost meeting for the European neural
network scientific community.

In 1995, ENNS will hold the ICANN meeting in Paris.

The format of this conference will include a scientific conference, an
industrial conference, tutorials, industrial forums and an industrial
exhibition.

Our challenge, in organizing this conference, is to achieve the highest
scientific quality for papers presented at the scientific conference (there 
will be a high rejection rate if necessary), together with the most
convincing set of applications presented at the industrial conference (only
operational, top-level applications will be considered). We thus hope to
demonstrate that Neural Networks are indeed a very deep and exciting field of 
research, as well as a most efficient, profitable technique for the 
industry.

To achieve these goals, we seek contributions from all the scientists, both
from academy and industry, who share our interests and our quality 
requirements.

*****************************************************************************

CALL FOR PAPERS
The conference will cover the following domains :

SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE
* theory
* algorithms & architectures
* implementations (hardware & software)
* cognitive sciences & AI
* neurobiology
* applications 
	identification & control
	image processing & vision
	OCR
	speech & signal processing
	prediction
	optimization

INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE
This conference will cover two main categories: on the one hand, 
descriptions of tools and methods and their use in real-life cases and, 
on the other hand, descriptions of concrete applications in industry and 
the sector of services. 
All fields of application are eligible.
Special sessions will be organized on specific areas of industry such as:
* banking, finance & insurance
* telecommunications
* teledetection
* process engineering, control and monitoring
* oil industry
* power industry
* food processing
* transportation
* robotics
