Announcement of Tutorial on Neural Networks.

[Simone G.O. Fiori (Pg)]

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that during the Tenth Biennial IEEE 
Conference on Electromagnetic Field Computation (CEFC), to be 
held in Perugia (Italy) on June 15-19, 2002, a tutorial about 
the application of artificial neural networks to electromagnetic 
compatibility will be given. The tutorial is intended for young 
investigators interested in the roots of neural networks theory 
as well as for senior researchers in the neural field interested 
in the latest issues about networks' application to electro-
magnetics. The tutorial program includes therefore topics such 
as the basic theory of multilayer perceptrons and their 
applications as well as emerging neural techniques such as 
independent component analysis.

The title and time-scheduling of the full-day tutorial are:
                                                  
Neural Network Modeling of Electromagnetic Interaction Phenomena
     (Instructor: Dr. Simone Fiori, Perugia University)
 
                 Saturday, June 15, 2002                
        (Time-scheduling: 9,00-13,00 and 15,00-18,00)
 
The cost* for the attendances is: 
EUR 100/full registration including course notes,
EUR 65/student registration including course notes. 

* Please note that, in order to attend the tutorial, it is not 
  mandatory to subscribe to the conference.

A short description of the conference is attached below for your
convenience. For more information please visit the conference

==================================================================
The Tenth Biennial IEEE Conf. on Electromagnetic Field Computation:

The Tenth Biennial IEEE Conference on Electromagnetic Field 
Computation (CEFC) will be held at Perugia during June 15-19, 2002. 
Perugia is an ancient town founded in the prehistoric epoch, located 
in the Umbria region, also called "the green heart of Italy" for its 
rich and extensive vegetation. Perugia is a very popular tourist 
destination, known for its important monuments, its folklore, its 
rich cuisine and its quiet and friendly people. The last Conference 
was held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA in 2000. The aims of the IEEE 
CEFC are to present the latest developments in modelling and simulation 
methodologies for the analysis of electromagnetic fields and wave 
interactions, with the application emphasis being on the computer-aided 
design of low and high frequency devices, components and systems. 
Scientists and engineers worldwide will present and discuss original 
contributions in the areas of static and quasi-static fields; wave 
propagation; material modelling; coupled problems, optimisation; 
numerical techniques, software methodology; applications of 
electromagnetic CAD to electrical/electronic devices, components and 
systems prototyping. The Conference will feature oral and poster 
presentations.
