Call For Papers

The International Symposium on Multi-Technology Information Processing 
(ISMIP'96), a joint symposium of artificial neural networks, circuits 
and systems, and signal processing, will be held in National Tsing Hua 
University, Hsin Chu, Taiwan, Republic of China. This conference is an 
expansion of previous series of International Symposium of Artificial 
Neural Networks (ISANN). The main purpose of this conference is to offer 
a forum showcasing the latest advancement of modern information 
processing technologies. It will include recent innovative research 
results of theories, algorithms, architechtures, systems, hardware 
implementations that lead to intelligent information processing. The 
technical program will feature opening keynote addresses, invited 
plenary talks, technical presentations of refereed papers. The official 
language is English. Papers are solicited for, but not limited to, the 
following topics: 

1. Associative Memory               2. Digital and Analog Neurocomputers
3. Fuzzy Neural Systems             4. Supervised/Unsupervised Learning
5. Robotics                         6. Sensory/Motor Control
7. Image Processing                 8. Pattern Recognition
9. Langauge/ Speech Processing     10. Digital Signal Processing
11. VLSI Architectures             12. Non-linear Circuits
13. Multimedia information processing 14. Optimization 
15. Mathematical Methods           16. Visual signal processing
17. Content based signal processing 18. Applications 

Prospective authors are invited to submit 4 copies of extended summaries 
of no more than 4 pages. All the manuscripts must be written in English 
in single-spaced, single column, on 8.5" by 11" white papers. The top of 
the first page of the paper should include a title, authors' names, 
affiliations, address, telephone/fax numbers, and email address if 
applicable. The indicated corresponding author will receive an 
acknowledgement of his/her submission. Camera-ready full papers of 
accepted manuscripts will be published in a hard-bound proceedings and 
distributed in the symposium. For more information, please consult at
