[Workshop on Adaptive Learning Systems]

                The Ninth Yale Workshop on 
                Adaptive and Learning Systems
 
 
                        June 10-12, 1996 
                         Yale University 
                     New Haven, Connecticut
 
                        Announcement
 
 
Objective: Advances in theory and computer technology have enhanced
the viability of intelligent systems operating in complex
environments. Different perspectives on this general topic offered by
learning theory, adaptive control, robotics, artificial neural
networks, and biological systems are being linked in productive ways.
 
The aim of the Ninth Workshop on Adaptive and Learning Systems is to
bring together engineers and scientists to exploit the synergism
between different viewpoints and to provide a favorable environment
for constructive collaboration.
 
Program: The principal sessions will be devoted to adaptive systems,
learning systems, robotics, neural networks, and biological systems.
A tentative list of speakers includes:
 
Adaptation: A. M. Annaswamy, M. Bodson, B. Friedland, R. Horowitz, 
        D. E. Miller,  A. S. Morse, K. S. Narendra, H. E.  Rauch,
