IEEE Neural Networks Society welcomes you!

[Vincenzo Piuri]

Dear Colleague

As Vice-President-elected for the Membership Activities of the IEEE
Neural Networks Society (NNS), I am pleased to inform you that
application to our Society is now open.

The IEEE NNS is one of 37 societies under the IEEE umbrella. The IEEE
NNS field of interest spans "the theory, design, application, and
development of biologically and linguistically motivated computational
paradigms emphasizing neural networks, including connectionist
systems, genetic algorithms, evolutionary programming, fuzzy systems,
and hybrid intelligent systems in which these paradigms are
contained." These topics are sometimes included in broader frameworks,
usually referred to as Computational Intelligence or Soft Computing.
For more information please visit: http://www.ieee-nns.org

The NNS was formed in 2002 and is now able to accept new members:
therefore, I would like to warmly invite you to join us in playing an
active role in the our areas of interest. To join the new society,
please visit http://www.ieee.org/join

The NNS is the publisher of the following three transactions: 
- IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks (TNN) 
- IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation (TEC) 
- IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems (TFS)

NNS Membership Cost: $10 US (for IEEE members)
NNS Membership will allow you to: 
o Receive the printed version of the NNS (member-only) Newsletter
o Participate to IEEE NNS governance activities by running for an
  Administrative Committee representative position, nominating
  candidates, and voting for the candidates
o Be eligible for any IEEE NNS-sponsored technical and educational
  activity, such as recognition awards
o Organize an IEEE NNS chapter to benefit from IEEE and NNS funding
  for local events
o Access to all current and archival NNS electronic publications --
  including TNN, TEC, and TFS (additional $ 15 US over membership fee)
o Subscribe to all three transactions (TNN, TEC, TFS) in print
  (additional $50 US over membership fee) -- a savings of $24 US over
  individual print subscriptions
o Subscribe to the IEEE Transactions of NanoBioscience and IEEE
  Transaction of Nanotechnology at a special discounted rate (for
  co-sponsoring society members)

NNS Student Membership Cost: $5 US (for IEEE student members)
NNS Student Membership will allow you to: 

o Receive the printed version of the NNS (member-only) Newsletter 
o Organize an IEEE NNS student chapter in your university, so you may
  invite distinguished lecturers
o Compete for the Walter Karplus Student Summer Research Support Award
o Compete for an IEEE NNS-sponsored conference travel grant and other
  IEEE NNS sponsored technical and educational activities
o Access to all current and archival NNS electronic publications -
  including TNN, TEC, and TFS (additional $ 8 US over membership fee)
o Subscribe to all three transactions (TNN, TEC, TFS) in print
  (additional $25 US over membership fee) -- a savings of $12 US over
  individual transaction print subscriptions
o Subscribe to the IEEE Transactions of NanoBioscience and IEEE
  Transaction of Nanotechnology at a special discounted rate (for
  co-sponsoring society members)

I look forward to see you at one of the conferences organized by our
Society!

Best regards
