                                     PROGRAM


///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////




The ability of neural networks to learn solutions, rather than having to be
programmed, makes them suitable for a wide range of applications in
business and industry. A rapidly increasing number of organisations already
benefit of neural computing. This symposium offers you the opportunity to
see how your organisation too might benefit of the possibilities of neural
networks. 

WHAT DOES THE SYMPOSIUM OFFER?

On this two day symposium a selection of the best neural network
applications in diverse sectors of industry and business will be presented
and discussed. The presentations are of first-hand from people who
themselves work with these applications. Moreover there will be
stands which can provide you with more information about possible
applications of neural networks in your organisation. It gives you the
opportunity to make contacts to help you realising these applications. 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This is not a technical or scientific symposium. It is intended for managers
from business and industries to know more about the relevance and
applicability of neural networks in their organization. 

LANGUAGE and PROCEEDINGS

The main language of this symposium will be Dutch. The presentations of
the non-Dutch speakers will be in English. The proceedings (in English) will
be published by Springer-Verlag.

SCIENTIFIC TRACK
There will be an scientific track entitled NEURAL NETWORKS AND ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE which runs concurrently with the industrial track. New fundamental
and applied developments in the area of neural networks will be presented.
Registration for the industrial track gives access to the scientific track.
