International Neural Network Society as an annual mechanism for
Interdisciplinary Information Dissemination, in collaboration with
IEEE, SPIE, NIH, FDA, ONR, APS, AAAI, AICE, APNNA, JNNS, ENNS, SME.
IEEE members will enjoy the same low registration fee as INNS members
($75 Student members, $255 regular INNS or IEEE Members, registration
must be sent prior to June 16 to TALLEY, 875 KINGS HIGHWAY, SUITE 200
WOODBURY, NJ 08096-3172, or 609-853-0411 FAX).

Note that to enjoy the discount, your registration must be sent to
Talley by June 16, but your technical paper must be sent directly to
the Local Organization Committee address shown as follows.

Accepted papers for WCNN-95 will be presented in "Novel Results"
Session and published as a supplement to the paper proceedings
available on-site. However, the final papers are not due until June 15
1995, a month before the DC Conference. It will give you plenty of time
to report your most recent and exciting developments.

(i) Submission Procedure:
Paper format is: camera ready, 8.5x11 paper, 1" margins, single column,
single spaced, minimum 10-pt font, 4 page limit ($20 per extra page).
Cover letter should contain: full title of paper, corresponding and
presenting authors, address, telephone and fax numbers, email address,
preference of oral or poster presentation, audio-visual requirements.
All poster presenters will give a 3 minute oral introduction (2
viewgraph maximum, including 1 quadchart containing authors/title,
background, approach, results) to their poster during the oral
session.
(ii) Review Procedure: If a member of INNS Governing Board or SIGINNS
Chair has already reviewed with an endorsement for acceptance for
presentation in the submission letter, the paper will be accepted as it
is. Send the original and one copy. The Local Organization Committee
(LOC) will review it for the type of presentation and immediately
inform the authors by e-mail or Fax ASAP.  If not endorsed, the paper
will be reviewed by the LOC. Send the original paper and five copies.
(iii) All papers accepted for oral or poster presentation will be
included in the session called Novel Results and will appear in a
supplement to the WCNN-95 Proceedings and be distributed on-site.
(iv) Best Poster Award will be chosen from all contributors who wish to be
so considered.  Best Poster Awards are rated according to: (a) Quality
of Technical Content,  (b) Quality of Oral Presentation,  (c)
Effectiveness of Poster Design, and the best three will be kept in a
central area with all other winners throughout the conference.
(v) Oral vs Poster:
Oral presentation is prefered when a brand new result requires
simultaneous peer review, when the main result can be presented in
the limited time slot, and when a known speaker is capable to give
a stimulating talk.  Poster presentation is prefered if the author
wishes to interact with the original inventors, if the result requires
more than 15 minutes to do it justice, and if the paper requires
nontraditional demo and tailoring to individual expertise.
