EANN'96: Special Track on Control Systems

[ersin tulunay]

	Dear Neural Net and Control System Researcher,

	A special track on Control Systems will be organized during
the International Conference on Engineering Applications of
Neural Networks (EANN'96) which is to be held in London, UK
between 17-19 June 1996. The Final Call for papers for the
EANN'96 can be found at the end of this message.

	The EANN'95 was held in Helsinki, Finland between 21-23
August 1995. Reports on the EANN'95 and the contents of the
proceedings etc. may be seen on http://www.abo.fi/~abulsari/EANN'95.html
Based on a number of good quality papers presented in the EANN'95 
it was possible to edit a special issue for the
Journal of Systems Engineering. For the forthcoming meeting we
have plans for publishing same kind of special issue in a
suitable journal also. For this, of course, your contribution is
essential.

	I am sure you agree that one of the most interesting areas
of utilization of neural nets is control systems. However, the
number of papers published so far has not been as many as
control systems deserve. In particular, as far as the real world
applications are concerned there are only a few works published.
Therefore, your contribution to EANN'96 will be very functional.

	We would like also to plan arranging a discussion session
in a leisurely atmosphere on the use of neural nets in control
applications. The ideas which may come up will help the
organization of the following future activities. The conference,
and especially this meeting will help us making efficient and
sincere personal contacts with our colleagues and will provide a
good apportunity for planting seeds for mutual collaborative
research for international projects which might be funded by
international bodies such as European Union.

	We are looking forward to receiving your abstracts latest
by 15 February 1996.

	With kind regards,

 International Conference on
 Engineering Applications of Neural Networks
 (EANN '96)

 London, UK
 17--19 June 1996


The conference is a forum for presenting  the latest results on neural
network applications  in technical fields. The  applications may be in
any  engineering  or technical  field,   including but  not limited to
systems    engineering,  mechanical   engineering,   robotics, process
engineering,   metallurgy, pulp   and  paper technology,  aeronautical
engineering, computer  science,  machine vision,  chemistry,  chemical
engineering,     physics, electrical engineering, electronics,   civil
engineering,  geophysical   sciences,  biotechnology,    environmental
engineering, and biomedical engineering.


Abstracts  of   one page   (200  to 400   words)  should  be  sent  by
e-mail in  PostScript format  or ASCII.  Please  mention  two to  four
keywords, and  whether you prefer  it to  be a short  paper or a  full
paper.   The short papers will be 4 pages in  length, and  full papers
may  be  upto 8  pages. Submissions  will be  reviewed and  the number
of full papers  will be very limited. For more information on EANN'96,
please see

 Registration information for the
 International Conference on
 Engineering Applications of Neural Networks
 (EANN '96)

The conference fee   will be   sterling   pounds (GBP) 300  until   28
February, and sterling pounds (GBP)   360 after  that.  At least   one
author of each accepted  paper should register by  21 March to  ensure
that the  paper will be included  in the  proceedings.  The conference
fee can be  paid  by a bank  draft (no  personal  cheques)  payable to
EANN '96, to be  sent to EANN  '96, c/o  Dr.  D. Tsaptsinos,  Kingston
University,  Mathematics, Kingston upon   Thames, Surrey KT1 2EE,  UK.
The fee includes attendance to the conference and the proceedings.

Registration form can be picked up from the www (or can be sent to you
by e-mail)  and can be returned by  e-mail (or post  or fax)  once the
conference  fee has  been sent. A   registration form sent before  the
payment of  the conference  fee is not  valid.   For more information,
