CALL FOR PAPERS AND FORMAT OF SUBMISSION
Papers must be received by 16 April 1999. They will be reviewed by
senior researchers in the field and the authors will be informed about
the decision of the review process by 30 June 1999. The accepted
papers must be submitted in a camera-ready format by 31 August. All
accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.  As
the conference is a multi-disciplinary meeting the papers are required
to be comprehensible to a wider rather than to a very specialised
audience. Papers will be presented at the conference either in an oral
or in a poster session.

Please submit five copies of the paper written in English on A4-format
white paper with 2.5 cm margins on all four sides, in two column format,
on not more than 6 pages, single-spaced, in Times or similar font of 10
points, and printed on one side of the page only. Centred at the top of
the first page should be the complete title, author(s), mailing and
e-mailing addresses, followed by an abstract and the text.

In the covering letter the stream and the topic of the paper according to
the list above should be indicated. The IEEE Transaction journals LaTex
article style can be used.


SPECIAL ISSUES OF JOURNALS AND EDITED VOLUMES
Selected papers will be published in special issues of scientific
journals. The organising committee is looking for publications of
edited volumes which include chapters covering the conference topics
written by invited conference participants.

TUTORIALS (16 November)
Conference tutorials will be organized to introduce the basics of
cognitive modelling, dynamical systems, neural networks, fuzzy
systems, evolutionary programming, soft computing, expert systems,
hybrid systems, and adaptive systems. Proposals for tutorials are due
on 1 March 1999.

EXHIBITION
Companies and university research laboratories are encouraged to
exhibit their developed or distributing software and hardware systems.

STUDENT SESSION
Postgraduate students are encouraged to submit papers to this session
following the same formal requirements for paper submission. The
submitted papers will be published in a separate brochure.

VENUE (Perth) 
The Conference will be held at the Langley Hotel in Perth city, near
the Opera House. The closing session will be held on Saturday, 20
November as a scenic bush location following an outdoor seafood
barbecue.

ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation has been booked at the conference venue, and in the
numerous Hotels nearby suitable for a range of budgets. Please see
the web site for details after the paper deadline date.

TRAVELLING
To be added.

POSTCONFERENCE EVENTS
The ICONIP'99 post conference workshop and expo on "Future Directions for
Intelligent Information Processing Systems" will be held in Dunedin,
New Zealand from 22-23 November 1999. Please see the workshop homepage
"http://divcom.otago.ac.nz/infosci/kel/iconip99-workshop.htm".

An affiliated post-conference workshop is the third Australia-Japan joint
Workshop on Intelligent and Evolutionary Systems will be held in Canberra,
Australia from 22-23 November 1999. Please see the workshop homepage
"http://www.cs.adfa.edu.au/conference/aj99/"
