2nd CFP: Euromicro-Workshop on Computational Intelligence, 97

[Martin Mandischer]

			SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
			======================
			
  	   Euromicro-Workshop on Computational Intelligence
	
			  Budapest, Hungary
	
			 September 3-4, 1997
			

CONFERENCE SCOPE
================

Artificial Neural Networks (NN), Fuzzy-Logic Systems (FL), and Evolutionary 
Algorithms (EA) have been investigated since three decades. Their broad 
application, however, had to wait until powerful computers became available 
within the last decade. Their potential is by no means exhausted today. On the 
contrary, more and more they are jointly applied to solve real-world hard 
problems. The term Computational Intelligence has been coined for such 
combinations, and the first CI World Congress in 1994 was witness of the boom 
in this challenging field, the next one being scheduled for 1998. 
This Workshop aims at bringing together developers and users of CI methods in 
order to enhance the synergetic potential. Besides pure subsymbolic knowledge 
processing, also combinations of symbolic and subsymbolic approaches shall be 
addressed.

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

Evolutionary Algorithms: theoretical aspects of evolutionary computation, 
	modifications and extensions to evolutionary algorithms such as 
	evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, and genetic algorithms,
	recent trends in applications.

Fuzzy-Logic: mathematical foundations of fuzzy logic and control, semantics of 
	fuzzy rule bases, fuzzy clustering, decision making, image processing, 
	recent trends in applications.

Neural Networks: advances in supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms, 
	constructive algorithms for networks, prediction and non-linear 
	dynamics of networks, pattern recognition, data analysis, associative 
	memory.

Combined CI-Methods: evolutionary algorithms for neural networks, fuzzy neural 
	networks, evolutionary optimized fuzzy systems, and any combination 
	with classical as well as novel methods.

The Workshop will have just one stream of oral and poster sessions. This will 
give ample time for open discussions.
	

GENERAL INFORMATION
===================

The Workshop will be organized in parallel with the annual Euromicro 
Conference,
the 23rd one to be held in Budapest, the well known capital of Hungary. 
Budapest is famous for many reasons and there are very many attractions to be 
visited. Local arrangements and tourist information will be provided in the 
final program of the Workshop. Joint registration to the Workshop and the 23rd 
Euromicro Conference will be available.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
====================

Prospective authors are encouraged to send a PostScript version of their full 
paper (not exceeding 4000 words in length and including a 150-200 words 
abstract) through WWW (http://LS11-www.informatik.uni-dortmund.de/EUROMICRO).
Alternatively, submissions may be sent as hardcopies by postal mail. In that 
case 5 copies are due to be sent to one of the program chairpersons.
The following information should be included in the submission: All necessary 
clearances have been obtained for the publication of this paper. If accepted, 
the author(s) will prepare the final camera-ready manuscript in time for 
inclusion in the proceedings and will personally present the paper at the 
Workshop. 
The closing date for submissions is February 1st, 1997. Authors will be 
notified
of acceptance by April 1st, 1997. Camera-ready versions will be required by 
June 1st, 1997. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Press.
Note: We aim at high quality papers rather than a full program.
