ICANN 2002 First Call for Papers
          
The 12th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, ICANN
2002, to be held from August 27 to August 31 2002 at the ETS de
Informática of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, welcomes
contributions on Theory, Algorithms, Applications and Implementations
on the following broad Areas:

        Computational Neuroscience
        Data Analysis and Pattern Recognition
        Vision and Image Processing
        Robotics and Control
        Signal and Time Series Processing
        Connectionist Cognitive Science
        Selforganization
        Dynamical Systems

Suggestions for Tutorials, Workshops and Special Sessions are also
welcome.  Submissions will be possible by surface mail, e-mail attach
or through an upload page to be available at a later time. Concrete
submission procedures and other related details will soon appear at
the conference's web site, www.ii.uam.es/icann2002.

The Proceedings will be published in the "Lecture Notes in Computer
Science" series of Springer-Verlag. Paper length is restricted to a
maximum of 6 pages, including figures. The final paper layout must
adhere strictly to the Author Instructions set out in the page
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html of the LNCS web site. In
particular, a LaTeX style file is available to help authors format
their contributions according to the LNCS standard.  Authors are asked
to use that file and, in general, to follow very carefully that page's
instructions.

Important deadlines are

End of submission receptions:          February 15, 2002.
Notification of acceptance/rejection:  April 15, 2002.
Final papers due (in hardcopy and electronically):  May 15, 2002.

Three independent referees will review each submitted paper. Acting on
those reviews, the Program Committee will accept papers and assign
them to either oral or poster presentation.  All accepted papers
(either for oral or poster presentation) will be published in the
Proceedings under the same length restrictions. Proceedings will be
distributed to all registered participants at the beginning of the
Conference.
