                             Call for Papers

Thanks to the sponsorship of IEEE Signal Processing Society and IEEE Neural
Network Council, the twelfth of a series of IEEE workshops on Neural Networks
for Signal Processing will be held in Martigny (http://www.martigny.ch),
Switzerland, at the ``Centre du Parc'' (http://www.hotelduparc.ch). The
workshop will feature keynote addresses, technical presentations and panel
discussions. Papers are solicited for, but not limited to, the following areas:

Algorithms and Architectures: Artificial neural networks, kernel methods,
  committee models, independent component analysis, adaptive and/or nonlinear
  signal processing, (hidden) Markov models, Bayesian modeling, parameter
  estimation, generalization, optimization, design algorithms.

Applications: Speech processing, image processing (computer vision, OCR),
  multimodal interactions, multi-channel processing, intelligent multimedia and
  web processing, robotics, sonar and radar, bio-medical engineering,
  bio-informatics, financial analysis, time series prediction, blind source
  separation, data fusion, data mining, adaptive filtering, communications,
  sensors, system identification, and other signal processing and pattern
  recognition applications.

Implementations: Parallel and distributed implementation, hardware design,
  and other general implementation technologies.
