		    FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
				  ON
	     COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEUROSCIENCES

September 28 to October 1, 1995.  ``Shell Island'' Hotels of
Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, USA.


We are pleased to announce the First International Conference on
Computational Intelligence and Neurosciences to be held as part of the
upcoming Joint Conference on Information Sciences (JCIS) from
September 28 to October 1, 1995 in Wrightsville Beach, NC. We expect
that this symposium will be of interest to neural network researchers,
computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, physicists,
neuroscientists and psychologists.

Research in neural computing has grown enormously in the past decade,
and it is becoming an increasingly specialized field. Using a
combination of didactic and workshop settings, we wish to present an
overview of where neural computing is presently at. Talks will be
given by experts in theoretical and experimental neuroscience, and
there will be ample opportunity for discussion and collegial exchange.

In addition to presenting current work, our aim is to address some of 
the important open questions in neural computing. We hope to delineate
how information science, as an interdisciplinary field, can aid in moving
neural computing into the next century.

Invited Speakers include:

James Anderson   (Brown University)
Subhash Kak      (Louisiana State University)
Haluk Ogmen      (Houston of Houston)
Ed Page          (University of South Carolina)
Jeffrey Sutton   (Harvard University)
L.E.H. Trainor   (University of Toronto)

Papers will be accepted based on summaries.  A summary shall not
exceed 4 pages of 10-point font, double-column, single-spaced text, (1
page minimum) with figures and tables included. Any summary exceeding
4 pages will be charged $100 per additional page. Three copies of the
summary are required by July 24,1995. A deposit of $150 check must be
included to guarantee the publication of your 4 pages summary in the
Proceedings. $150 can be deducted from registration fee later. Final
version of the full length paper must be submitted by October 1,
1995. Four (4) copies of the full length paper shall be prepared
according to the ``Information for Authors'' appearing at the back
cover of Information Sciences, an International Journal (Elsevier
Publishing Co.). A full paper shall not exceed 20 pages including
figures and tables. All full length papers will be reviewed by experts
in their respective fields. Revised papers will be due on April 15,
1996. Accepted papers will appear in the hard-covered proceeding
(book) to be published by a publisher or Information Sciences Journal
(INS journal now has three publications: Informatics and Computer
Sciences, Intelligent Systems, Applications). All fully registered
conference attendees will receive a copy of proceeding (summary) on
September 28, 1995; a free one-year subscription (paid by this
conference) of Information Sciences Journal - Applications. Lastly,
the right to purchase either or all of Vol.I, Vol.II, Vol.III of
Advances in FT & T hard-covered, deluxe, professional books at 1/2
price. The Title of the books are ``Advances in Fuzzy Theory &
Technology, Volume I or II or III''.
