                             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.
