            Robert J. Marks II,  Editor-in-Chief
            IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks

According to  the 1994  Journal Citation  Reports, the  IEEE
Transactions on  Neural  Networks,  based  on  frequency  of
citation, has  a half-life  of 3.1  years.  Life is short in
our  technology.    Engineer  Sherman  Minton  expressed  it
nicely. "Half  of everything  you know  will be  wrong in 10
years; you just don't know which half."

To make  neural network research more temporally accessible,
the TNN  is establishing  a WWW page posting of abstracts of
papers  submitted   to  the   IEEE  Transactions  on  Neural
Networks.   Dr. Jianchang  Mao will  coordinate the  posting
effort.   Authors submitting papers to the TNN may, at their
own discretion, submit ASCII information on their papers via
e-mail to

     Jianchang Mao, Abstracts Editor
     IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks
     IBM Almaden Research Center
     Image and Multimedia Systems, DPEE/B3

Submission of  the information may only be done only after a
paper has  been submitted to the IEEE Transactions on Neural
Networks and  a TNN  paper number  has been  assigned.   The
following information should be included in the message sent
to the Abstracts Editor.

  - The TNN number assigned to the paper.
  - The paper title
  - Authors  and their  affiliation.   Please include e-mail
    addresses
  - The abstract of the paper
  - (Optional)  Information on  how to view or obtain a full
    copy of  the paper.  Electronic access on the WWW or ftp
    is preferred.

If you  currently have a paper in any stage of review in the
TNN, you may also submit abstract information for posting.

The TNN  Abstracts page will be appended to the home page of
the IEEE  Neural Networks  Council (http://www.ieee.org.nnc)
under the  able coordinator  of Professor  Payman Arabshahi.
The NNC  home  page  also  includes  a  remarkably  complete
listing of  conferences in  computational intelligence, IEEE
copyright  forms   and  information,   the  NNC  newsletter,
information about  neural network  research centers  and NNC
sponsored books.   The  most recent table of contents of the
IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems and the IEEE Transactions
on Neural Networks are also posted.

Happy surfing.   And  may your  technological  half-life  be
long.
