The fourth Brazilian Symposium on Neural Networks will be  held  at the 
School of Electrical Engineering,  Federal  University  of Goias (UFG), 
Goiania,  GO  (Brazil), on  3rd,  4th,  and  5th  December,  1997.  The 
Brazilian  Symposia  on  Neural  Networks are organized by the interest 
group in Neural Networks of the Brazilian Computer Society. In order to 
promote research in Neural Networks and Evolutionary  Computation,  and 
scientific interchange among Brazilian AI researchers and practitioners, 
and  their  counterparts  worldwide,  papers   from  the  international 
community  are  most  welcome.  The  papers  will  be  reviewed  by  an 
international program committee.

We  invite  submissions  of  scientific  papers to any topic related to 
Neural Networks and Evolutionary  Computation.  Authors  should  submit 
four (4) copies of their  papers in  hard  copy form.  Neither computer 
files nor fax submission are acceptable.  Submissions must  be  printed 
on 8 1/2 x 11 inch (21.59 x 27.94 cm) or A4 paper using 12 point  type, 
and they must be a maximum of twenty (20)  pages  long,  double  space, 
including all figures and references.  The reviewing  process  will  be 
blind to the identities of the authors, please note that this  requires 
that authors exercise some care not to  identify  themselves  in  their 
papers.


Title page and paper body
-------------------------

Each copy of the paper must include a title page, separate from the body 
of the paper, containing the title of the paper, the names and addresses 
of all authors (please, complete  addresses  including  also  e-mail and 
FAX), a short abstract of less than 200 words, and a  list  of  keywords 
giving the area/subarea of the paper.

The second page, on which the paper body begins, should include the same 
title, abstract, keywords, but not the names  and  affiliations  of  the 
authors.


All paper submissions should be to the following address:
