International Conference on
Engineering Applications of Neural Networks
(EANN '98)

Gibraltar 
10-12 June 1998 

First Call for Papers

The conference is a forum for presenting the latest results on neural
network applications in technical fields. The applications may be in
any engineering or technical field, including but not limited to
systems engineering, mechanical engineering, robotics, process
engineering, metallurgy, pulp and paper technology, aeronautical
engineering, computer science, machine vision, chemistry, chemical
engineering, physics, electrical engineering, electronics, civil
engineering, geophysical sciences, biomedical systems, and environmental
engineering. 

Abstracts of one page (about 500 words) should be sent to
eann98 at ctima.uma.es or NLS at abo.fi by 21 January 1998 by e-mail in
plain text format. Please mention two to four keywords, and whether
you prefer it to be a short paper or a full paper. The short papers
will be 4 pages in length, and full papers may be upto 8 pages.
Notification of acceptance will be sent around 15 February.
Submissions will be reviewed and the number of full papers will be
very limited. For information on earlier EANN conferences see the www
pages at http://www.abo.fi/~abulsari/EANN97.html

Proposals for special tracks are welcome. Among the special features
of EANN '98 is a session on Japanese state-of-the-art in engineering
applications of neural networks. Please contact Prof. Iwata
(iwata at elcom.nitech.ac.jp) if you are interested. An industrial panel
discussion may be organised in this conference also if there are 
several participants from industries.
