Snippet

[Wolfgang W Bein]

I am the Technical Secession Chair for a session 
on "Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms"

I am still able to accept a limited number of
contributions for this session (see below for 
a description.)  I would need an extended 
abstract by Friday, March 3 (up to 4 pages, 
but a 1 page would suffice,  given the deadline) 
The camera ready copy is only due by April 1.

The session is part of the 2000 International 
Conference on Mathematics and Engineering Techniques 
in Medicine and Biological Sciences, which 
is concurrent with IC-AI.
There is a pointer to the relevant pages on
my home-page http://www.cs.unlv.edu/~bein/

Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms
--------------------------------------
Adaptive methods play a significant role 
as tools in situations where more rigid 
methods may fail. Artificial Neural Networks 
and Genetic Methods are inspired by 
concepts arising in Biology and the Cognitive 
Sciences. 
This session will highlight ongoing work 
relating Artificial Neural Networks and 
Genetic Methods, as well as recent 
applications of these tools to Medicine 
and the Biological Sciences.
