************Conference Framework************

 

The 16th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, ICANN 2006,
will be held from September 10 to September 14, 2006, at the Holiday Inn
Hotel, Athens Greece. ICANN is an annual conference organized by the
European Neural Network Society in cooperation with the International Neural
Network Society, Japanese Neural Network Society, and the IEEE Computational
Intelligence Society, and is a premier European event in all topics related
to neural networks.

 

ICANN 2006 (www.icann2006.org) welcomes contributions on the theory,
algorithms, applications and implementations in the following broad areas: 

 

•           Computational neuroscience; 

•           Connectionist cognitive science;                             

•           Data analysis and pattern recognition; 

•           Graphical networks models, Bayesian networks; 

•           Hardware implementations and embedded systems; 

•           Neural and hybrid architectures and learning algorithms; 

•           Neural control, reinforcement learning and robotics
applications; 

•           Neuroinformatics; 

•           Neural dynamics and complex systems; 

•           Real world applications; 

•           Robotics, control, planning; 

•           Signal and time series processing; 

•           Self-organization;

and experts willing to organize various session tracks are called for. Most
active experts will be included in the scientific committee of the
conference. 

Proceedings of ICANN will be published in Springer's "Lecture Notes in
Computer Science". Paper length is restricted to a maximum of 10 pages,
including figures.
