Call for Papers
deadline January 31, 2005
Internet based paper submission opens October 15, 2004


IJCNN05 is organized by the International Neural Network Society and the
IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, and is supported by funding from
the Florida Institute of Technology and the University of Texas-Arlington.  

This annual meeting has a rich history dating back to 1987 and is the
largest international neural network conference in the world.  The
conference invites submissions addressing theoretical and practical topics
in neural networks including: 
*	Perception and motor function:  vision and image processing,
auditory and speech processing, pattern recognition,...
*	Cognitive function:  learning and memory; conditioning, reward and
behavior, mental disorders, attention and consciousness, language, emotion
and motivation,...
*	Computational neuroscience:  models of neurons, systems
neurobiology, spiking neurons,...
*	Informatics: neuro- and bio- informatics; brain models,...
*	Hardware:  neuromorphic hardware; embedded NN, reconfigurable
systems,...
*	Neurodynamics:  recurrent nets, chaotic systems, ...
*	Adaptation and decision making:  reinforcement learning, approximate
dynamic programming, advanced learning methods and optimization,
self-organizing systems, probabilistic and information-theoretic methods,
support vector machines, intelligent agents, fuzzy neural systems and
evolutionary computation, ...
*	Applications:  signal processing, control, diagnostics, robotics,
telecom, biomedical, financial, security, ...
The complete list of topics is available at http://faculty.uwb.edu/ijcnn05
<http://faculty.uwb.edu/ijcnn05> . Selected conference papers will be
included in "Advances in Neural Network Research: IJCNN'05", a Special Issue
of the journal Neural  Networks, tentatively planned for Summer 2005.
	The IJCNN 2005 Program will also include a variety of special
sessions, and a series of post-conference workshops devoted to recent and
important developments in neural networks is planned for August 4 (evening)
and August 5 (full day), 2005.  Plenary lectures will feature Pierre Baldi
(University of California, Irvine),  Mitsuo Kawato (ATR Computational
Neuroscience Labs, Japan), Frank Lewis (University of Texas-Arlington),
Michael Petrides (McGill University, Canada) and Carver Mead (California
Institute of Technology).
