REVISED CALL FOR PAPERS
WORLD CONGRESS ON NEURAL NETWORKS
1995 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONL NEURAL NETWORKS SOCIETY
JULY 17-21, 1995
RENAISSANCE HOTEL/WASHINGTON, DC
SPECIAL FEATURES: March 1 Due Date, Reduced registration fee, both CD-ROM
and paper proceedings.
Four-page papers are due by 1 March 1995. Note the change in deadline date.
Authors must submit registration payment with papers to be eligible for the
early registration fee. A $35 publication fee must accompany each submission
that the conference committee will refund if it rejects the paper. The $35
publication fee helps defray the Proceedings cost and allows the conference
committee to offer a lower registration fee. The 1995 registration-plus-
publication fee of $205 is comparable to the 1994 registration fee. This
service has been provided to make the meeting more affordable for attendees
who do not plan to have published articles in the proceedings. Please make
checks payable to INNS and include with submitted paper.
For review purposes, please submit six (6) copies (1 original, 5 copies) plus
3 1/2" disk (see instructions below), four page limit, in English. $20 per
page for papers exceeding (4) pages (do not number pages). Checks for over
length charges should be made out to INNS and must be included with submitted
paper. Papers must be on 8 1/2" x 11" white paper with 1" margins on all
sides, one column format, single spaced, in Times or similar type style of 10
points or larger, one side of paper only. FAX's not acceptable. Centered at
top of first page should be complete title, author name(s), affiliation(s),
and mailing address(es), followed by blank space abstract (up to 15 lines),
and text. The following information MUST be included in an accompanying
cover letter in order for the paper to be reviewed: Full title of paper,
corresponding author and presenting author name, address, telephone and fax
numbers. Technical Session (see session topics) 1st and 2nd choices, oral
or poster presentation preferred, audio-visual requirements (for oral
presentations only). Papers submitted which do not meet these requirements
or for which insufficient funds are submitted will be returned.
For the first time, the proceedings of the 1995 World Congress on Neural
Networks will be distributed on CD-ROM. The CD-ROM Proceedings are included
in your registration fee. Accepted papers will appear in BOTH CD-ROM and
paper Proceedings format. Format a 3 1/2" disk for CD-ROM: Once paper is
proofed, completed and printed for review, reformat the paper in Landscape
format, page size 8" x 5" for CD. You may include a separate file with 1
paragraph biographical information with your name, company, address and
telephone number. Presenters should submit their papers in one of the
following Macintosh or Microsoft Windows formats: Microsoft Word,
WordPerfect, FrameMaker, Quark or Quark Professional, PageMaker, Persuasion,
ASCII, PowerPooint, Adobe.PDF, Postscript (text, not EPS). Images can be
submitted in TIF or PCX format. If submitting a previously unpublished
paper, author agrees to the transfer of the copyright to INNS for the
conference proceedings. All submitted papers become the property of INNS.
Papers and disk to be sent to: WCNN'95, 875 Kings Highway, Suite 200,
