Dear Colleague:
You are invited to an international workshop on applications of neural
networks and other intelligent systems to problems in telecommunica-
tions and information networking. This is the second workshop in a
series that began in Princeton, New Jersey on October, 18-20 1993.
Topics include:
Network Management
Congestion Control
Adaptive Equalization
Speech Recognition
Language ID/Translation
Information Filtering
Dynamic Routing
Software Engineering
Fraud Detection
Financial and Market Prediction
Fault Identification and Prediction
Character Recognition
Adaptive Control
Data Compression
This conference will take place at a time of the year when the beauti-
ful city of Stockholm is at its best. The conference will take place in
the facilities of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences,
right in the middle of Stockholm. There will be several hotels in dif-
ferent categories to choose from in the neighborhood. One evening,
there will be a boat tour in the famous archipelago which will include
dinner.
We enclose an advance program for the workshop as well as informa-
tion for registration and hotels. There will be a hard cover proceed-
ings available at the workshop. There is further information on the
IWANNT home page at:
ftp://ftp.bellcore.com/pub/iwannt/iwannt.html
I hope to see you at the workshop.
Sincerely,
Josh Alspector,
General Chair

Site
The conference will be held at the IVA or Royal
Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. The
location is a mixture of old and new. The conference
will take place in modern facilties built in
1983, while the lunches are held in a beautiful dining
room from the turn of the century.
IVA is situated at Grev Turegatan 14
(Count Ture's street) which is very central. Close by is
Sturegallerian, a fine shopping center,
located in a number of buildings from the early 20th century.
A few hundred meters walk will take you to
Nybroviken, where you may take a ferry to the
big outdoor museum Skansen. The same distance
in the other direction will bring you to Hamngatan
and Sergels torg, right in the middle of the shopping district.
