EPIA'95 WORKSHOPS - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
NEURAL NETWORKS AND GENETIC ALGORITHMS
--------------------------------------------------------
A subsection of the:
FUZZY LOGIC AND NEURAL NETWORKS IN ENGINEERING WORKSHOP
________________________________________________________
--------------------------------------------------------
Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal
October 3-6, 1995
(Under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for AI)
INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The workshop on Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks in
Engineering, running during the Seventh Portuguese
Conference on Artificial Intelligence (EPIA'95), includes a
subsection on Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms.
This subsection of the workshop will be devoted to models of
simulating human reasoning and behaviour based on GA and NN
combinations. Recently in disciplines such as AI,
Engineering, Robotics and Artificial Life there has been a
rise in interest in hybrid methodologies such as neural
networks and genetic algorithms which enables modelling of
more realistic flexible and adaptive behaviour and learning.
So far such hybrid models have proved very promising in
investigating and characterizing the nature of complex
reasoning and control behaviour.
Participants are expected to base their contribution on
current research and the workshop emphasis will be on
wide-ranging discussions of the feasibility and application
of such hybrid models. This part of the workshop is intended
to promote the exchange of ideas and approaches in these
areas and for these methods, through paper presentations,
open discussions, and the corresponding exhibition of
running systems, demonstrations or simulations.

FUZZY LOGIC AND NEURAL NETWORKS IN ENGINEERING WORKSHOP
--------------------------------------------------------
Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal
October 3-6, 1995
(Under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for AI)
INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
(EPIA'95) will be held at Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal,
between October 3-6, 1995. As in previous cases ('89, '91,
and '93), EPIA'95 will be run as an international
conference, English being the official language. The
scientific program includes tutorials, invited lectures,
demonstrations, and paper presentations. The Conference will
include three parallel workshops on Expert Systems, Fuzzy
Logic and Neural Networks, and Applications of A.I. to
Robotics and Vision Systems. These workshops will run
simultaneously (see below) and consist of invited talks,
panels, paper presentations and poster sessions.
Fuzzy Logic And Neural Networks In Engineering workshop may
last for either 1, 2 or 3 days, depending on the quantity
and quality of submissions.
FUZZY LOGIC AND NEURAL NETWORKS IN ENGINEERING WORKSHOP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The search for systems simulating human reasoning in what
regards uncertainty has created a strong research community.
In particular, Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks have been a
source of synergies among researchers of both areas, aiming
at developing theoretical approaches and applications
towards the characterization and experimentation of such
kinds of reasoning.
The workshop is intended to promote the exchange of ideas
and approaches in those areas, through paper presentations,
open discussions, and the corresponding exhibition of
running systems, demonstrations or simulations.
The organization committee invites you to participate,
submitting papers together with videos, demonstrations or
running systems, to illustrate relevant issues and
applications.
EXHIBITIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to illustrate and to support theoretical
presentations the organization will provide adequate
conditions (space and facilities) for exhibitions regarding
the three workshops mentioned. These exhibitions can include
software running systems (several platforms are available),
video presentations (PAL-G VHS system), robotics systems
(such as robotics insects, and autonomous robots), and
posters. On the one hand, this space will allow the
presentation of results and real-world applications of the
research developed by our community and, on the other it
will serve as a source of motivation to students and young
researchers.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Authors are asked to submit five (5) copies of their papers
to the submissions address by May 2, 95. Notification of
acceptance or rejection will be mailed to the first (or
designated) author on June 5, 95, and camera ready copies
for inclusion in the workshop proceedings will be due on
July 3, 95. Each copy of submitted papers should include a
separate title page giving the names, addresses, phone
numbers and email addresses (where available) of all
authors, and a list of keywords identifying the subject area
of the paper. Papers should be a maximum of 16 pages and
printed on A4 paper in 12 point type with a maximum of 38
lines per page and 75 characters per line ( corresponding to
LaTeX article style, 12 pt). Double sided submissions are
preferred. Electronic or faxed submissions will not be
accepted. Further inquiries should be addressed to the
inquiries address.
ATTENDANCE
~~~~~~~~~~
Each workshop will be limited to at most fifty people. In
addition to presenters of papers and posters, there will be
space for a limited number of other participants chosen on
the basis of a one- to two-page research summary which
should include a list of relevant publications, along with
an electronic mail address if possible. A set of working
notes will be available prior to the commencement of the
workshops. Registration information will be available in
June 1995. Please write for registration information to the
inquiries address.
