International Workshop on Applications of Neural Networks
(and other intelligent systems) to Telecommunications
(IWANNT*97)
Melbourne, Australia June 9-11, 1997
You are invited to an international workshop on applications of neural
networks and other intelligent systems to problems in telecommunications
and information networking. This is the third workshop in a series that began
in Princeton, New Jersey on October 18-20, 1993 and continued in Stockholm,
Sweden on May 22-24, 1995.
This conference will be at the University of Melbourne on the Monday through
Wednesday (June 9 - 11, 1997) just before the Australian Conference on Neural
Networks (ACNN) which will be at the same location on June 11 - 13
(Wednesday - Friday). There will be a hard cover proceedings available at
the workshop. There is further information on the IWANNT home page at:
