                EURASIP WORKSHOP ON NEURAL NETWORKS

                        Sesimbra, Portugal
                       February 15-17, 1990


                  ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

The workshop will be held at the Hotel do Mar in Sesimbra, Portugal.
It will take place in 1990, from February 15 morning to 17 noon, and
will be sponsored by EURASIP, the European Association for Signal
Processing. It will be open to participants from all countries.

Contributions from all fields related to the neural network area are
welcome. A (non-exclusive) list of topics is given below. Care is being
taken to ensure that the workshop will have a high level of quality.
Proposed contributions will be evaluated by an international board of
experts, and a proceedings volume will be published. The number of
participants will be limited to 50. Full contributions will
take the form of oral presentations, and will correspond to
papers in the proceedings. Some short contributions will also be accepted,
for presentation of ongoing work, projects (ESPRIT, BRAIN, DARPA,...),
etc. They will be presented in poster format, and will not originate
any written publication. A small number of non-contributing
participants may also be accepted. The official language of the
workshop will be English.

TOPICS:

- signal processing (speech, image,...)
- pattern recognition
- training procedures (new algorithms, speedups,...)
- generalization
- implementation
- specific applications where NN have been proved better than other
  approaches
- industrial projects and realizations


                      SUBMISSION PROCEDURES

Submissions, both for long and for short contributions, will consist of
(strictly) 2-page summaries, plus a cover page indicating title,
