ESANN'2004
12th European Symposium
on Artificial Neural Networks
Bruges (Belgium) - April 28-29-30, 2004
Announcement and call for papers
=====================================================
Technically co-sponsored by the International Neural Networks Society, the
European Neural Networks Society, the IEEE Neural Networks Society, the IEEE
Region 8 (to be confirmed), the IEEE Benelux Section.
The call for papers for the ESANN'2004 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).
ESANN'2004 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'2004 conference will focus on fundamental aspects of ANNs: theory,
models, learning algorithms, mathematical and statistical aspects, in the
context of function approximation, classification, data analysis, control,
time-series prediction, signal processing, vision, etc. Papers on links and
comparisons between ANNs and other domains of research (such as statistics,
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. The topic of the paper decides 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 their choice for oral or poster presentation only.
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'2004 conference:
1. Neural methods for non-standard data
B. Hammer, Univ. Osnabrck, B.J. Jain, Tech. Univ. Berlin (Germany)
2. Soft-computing techniques for time series forecasting
I. Rojas, Univ. Granada (Spain)
3. Neural networks for data mining
R. Andonie, Transylvania Univ. (Romania)
4. Theory and applications of neural maps
U. Seiffert, IPK Gatersleben, T. Villmann, Univ. Leipzig, A. Wismller,
Univ. Munich (Germany)
5. Industrial applications of neural networks
L.M. Reyneri, Politecnico. di Torino (Italy)
6. Hardware systems for Neural devices
P. Fleury, A. Bofill-i-Petit, Univ. Edinburgh (Scotland, UK)
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 organized 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).
Call for contributions
----------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit their contributions before 5
December 2003. The electronic submission procedure will be available soon
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, 2004. They will benefit from the advance registration fee.
