ICONIP'97, The Fourth International Conference on Neural Information 
Processing, November 24-28, 1997. Dunedin/Queenstown, New Zealand

                                                    
     Special Session on System Monitoring, Modeling, and Analysis

                        CALL FOR PAPERS


Adaptive and intelligent systems based on neural computation and
related techniques have successfully been applied in the analysis of
various complex processes. This is due to the inherent learning
capability of neural networks which is superior in analyzing systems
that cannot be modeled analytically. In addition to various fields of
engineering, like pattern recognition, industrial process monitoring,
and telecommunications, practical applications include information
retrieval, data analysis, and financial applications. A special
session devoted to these areas of neural computation will be 
organized at ICONIP'97.

The scope of the special session covers neural networks methods and
related techniques as well as applications in the following areas:
  - monitoring, modeling, and analysis, of complex industrial processes 
  - telecommunications applications, including resource management 
    and optimization 
  - data analysis and fusion, including financial applications 
  - time series modeling and forecasting 
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers to the special
session on any area of neural techniques on system monitoring,
modeling, and analysis including, but not limited to the topics 
listed above.

The submissions must be received by May 30, 1997. Please, send five 
copies of your manuscript to 
   Prof. Olli Simula, Special Session Organizer
   Helsinki University of Technology,
   Laboratory of Computer and Information Science,
   Rakentajanaukio 2 C,
   FIN-02150 Espoo, Finland.
