ESANN'2003
11th European Symposium
on Artificial Neural Networks
Bruges (Belgium) - April 23-24-25, 2003
Announcement and call for papers
=====================================================
Technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Region 8, the IEEE Benelux Section,
the IEEE Neural Networks Society (to be confirmed), the International
Neural Networks Society and the European Neural Networks Society.
The call for papers for the ESANN'2003 conference is now available on
the Web:
http://www.dice.ucl.ac.be/esann
For those of you who maintain WWW pages including lists of related ANN
sites: we would appreciate if you could add the above URL to your list;
thank you very much!
We try as much as possible to avoid multiple sendings of this call for
papers; however please apologize if you receive this e-mail twice,
despite our precautions.
You will find below a short version of this call for papers, without the
instructions to authors (available on the Web). If you have
difficulties to connect to the Web please send an e-mail to
esann at dice.ucl.ac.be
and we will send you a full version of the call for papers.
ESANN'2003 is organised in collaboration with the UCL (Universite
catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve) and the KULeuven (Katholiek
Universiteit Leuven).
Scope and topics
----------------
Since its first happening in 1993, the European Symposium on Artificial
Neural Networks has become the reference for researchers on fundamentals
and theoretical aspects of artificial neural networks. Each year, around
100 specialists attend ESANN, in order to present their latest results
and comprehensive surveys, and to discuss the future developments in
this field.
The ESANN'2003 conference will focus on fundamental aspects of ANNs:
theory, models, learning algorithms, mathematical and statistical
aspects, in the context of function approximation, classification,
control, time-series prediction, signal processing, vision, etc. Papers
on links and comparisons between ANNs and other domains of research
(such as statistics, data analysis, signal processing, biology,
psychology, evolutive learning, bio-inspired systems, etc.) are
encouraged.
Papers will be presented orally (no parallel sessions) and in poster
sessions; all posters will be complemented by a short oral presentation
during a plenary session. It is important to mention that it is the
topics of the paper which will decide if it better fits into an oral or
a poster session, not its quality. The selection of posters will be
identical to oral presentations, and both will be printed in the same
way in the proceedings. Nevertheless, authors have the choice to
indicate on the author submission form that they only accept to present
their paper orally.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics covered during the
ESANN conferences:
- Models and architectures
- Learning algorithms
- Theory
- Mathematics
- Statistical data analysis
- Classification
- Approximation of functions
- Time series forecasting
- Nonlinear dimension reduction
- Multi-layer Perceptrons
- RBF networks
- Self-organizing maps
- Vector quantization
- Support Vector Machines
- Recurrent networks
- Fuzzy neural nets
- Hybrid networks
- Bayesian neural nets
- Cellular neural networks
- Signal processing
- Independent component analysis
- Natural and artificial vision
- Adaptive control
- Identification of non-linear dynamical systems
- Biologically plausible networks
- Bio-inspired systems
- Cognitive psychology
- Evolutiv learning
- Adaptive behaviour
Special sessions
----------------
Special sessions will be organized by renowned scientists in their
respective fields. Papers submitted to these sessions are reviewed
according to the same rules as any other submission. Authors who submit
papers to one of these sessions are invited to mention it on the author
submission form; nevertheless, submissions to the special sessions must
follow the same format, instructions and deadlines as any other
submission, and must be sent to the same address.
Here is the list of special sessions that will be organized during the
ESANN'2003 conference:
1. Links between neural networks and webs (M. Gori).
2. Mathematical aspects of neural networks (B. Hammer, T. Villmann)
3. Statistical learning and kernel-based algorithms (M. Pontil, J.
Suykens)
4. Digital image processing with neural networks (A. Wismller, U.
Seiffert)
5. Industrial and agronomical applications of neural networks (L.M.
Reyneri)
6. Neural networks for human/computer interaction (C.W. Omlin)
Location
--------
The conference will be held in Bruges (also called "Venice of the
North"), one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Europe. Bruges can
be reached by train from Brussels in less than one hour (frequent
trains). The town of Bruges is world-wide known, and famous for its
architectural style, its canals, and its pleasant atmosphere.
The conference will be organised in a hotel located near the centre
(walking distance) of the town. There is no obligation for the
participants to stay in this hotel. Hotels of all level of comfort and
price are available in Bruges; there is a possibility to book a room in
the hotel of the conference at a preferential rate through the
conference secretariat. A list of other smaller hotels is also
available.
The conference will be held at the Novotel hotel, Katelijnestraat 65B,
8000 Brugge, Belgium.
Proceedings and journal special issue
-------------------------------------
The proceedings will include all communications presented to the
conference (tutorials, oral and posters), and will be available on-site.
Extended versions of selected papers will be published in the
Neurocomputing journal (Elsevier, V. David Sanchez A. ed.).
Call for contributions
----------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit their contributions before 6
December 2002. The electronic submission procedure is detailed on the
ESANN Web pages http://www.dice.ucl.ac.be/esann/.
Authors must indicate their choice for oral or poster presentation at
the submission. They must also sign a written agreement that they will
register to the conference and present the paper in case of acceptation
of their submission. Authors of accepted papers will have to register
before February 28, 2003. They will benefit from the advance
registration fee.
