********************************************************************** 
         SBRN'2006 - IX BRAZILIAN SYMPOSIUM ON NEURAL NETWORKS 
              Ribeirao Preto, October 23-26, 2006

**********************************************************************

The biannual Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks (SBRN) - of 
which this is the 9th event - is a forum dedicated to Neural Networks (NNs) 
and other models of computational intelligence. The emphasis of the 
Symposium will be on original theories and novel applications of these 
computational models. The Symposium welcomes paper submissions from 
researchers, practitioners, and students worldwide.

SBRN'2006 is sponsored by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and co-
sponsored by SIG/INNS/Brazil Special Interest Group of the International 
Neural Networks Society in Brazil. It will take place October 23-26, and 
will be held in Ribeirao Preto. Ribeirao preto is a dynamic and sunny city, 
about 300 km from the city of São Paulo. Sao Paulo is the main gateway to 
Brazil with regular flights to all major cities in Brazil as well as Europe, 
United states, Asia, among others.

SBRN'2006 will be held together with the X Ibero-American Artificial 
Intelligence Conference (IBERAMIA) and XVIII Brazilian Symposium on 
Artificial Intelligence (SBIA). All Symposia will feature keynote speeches 
and tutorials by world-leading researchers. SBIA has its main focus on 
symbolic AI. Crossfertilization of these fields will be strongly encouraged. 
The deadline for submissions is March 26, 2006. More details on paper 
submission and conference registration will be coming soon.

Sponsored by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC)

Co-Sponsored by SIG/INNS/Brazil Special Interest Group of the International 
Neural Networks Society in Brazil

Organized by the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil

Submissions:

We welcome papers describing original works on (but it is not limited to):

1. Applications: finances, data mining, neurocontrol, time series analysis, 
bioinformatics; 
2. Architectures: cellular NNs, hardware and software implementations, new 
models, weightless models; 
3. Cognitive Sciences: adaptive behavior, natural language, mental 
processes; 
4. Computational Intelligence: evolutionary systems, fuzzy systems, hybrid 
systems; 
5. Learning: algorithms, evolutionary and fuzzy techniques, reinforcement 
learning; 
6. Neurobiological Systems: bio-inspired systems, biologically plausible 
networks, vision; 
7. Neuro-control: robotics, dynamic systems, adaptive control; 
8. Neuro-symbolic processing: hybrid approaches, logical inference, rule 
extraction, structured knowledge; 
9. Pattern Recognition: signal processing, artificial/computational vision; 
10. Theory: radial basis functions, Bayesian systems, function 
approximation, computability, learnability, computational complexity.

Submission Guidelines:

Paper registration and submissions to SBRN 2006 will be handled using the 
JEMS system, which will be open for registration and submission from 
February 14th, 2006, 00:00 BRST. The address is:

https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=280

Submission is a three-step process. In a first step authors are required to 
register as new authors with JEMS (note that only 1 registration is needed 
if you submit more than 1 paper). After registration as author the login 
data will be sent to the specified email address. This data can be used to 
access the system.
In a second step authors have to register their paper (click the submit 
paper button in JEMS). There are two different tracks to submit a paper. In 
the first one (SBRN 2006), the paper is only submitted to SBRN. In the 
second one (SBRN or WCI), a paper which is not accepted to SBRN is 
automatically submitted to the Workshop on Computational Intelligence (WCI). 
Once the chosen track is selected, the authors are asked in this step to 
specify the name of the authors, the paper title, its topics and the paper 
category (regular, student): these categories are exactly the same, except 
for the fact that the first author is a student or not. The system will then 
assign a tracking ID to each submission which is sent to the contact author. 
The deadline for paper registration is March 26th., 23:55 BRST.
The third step consists on uploading the paper. This step can be done 
jointly with the registering step. For those authors who prefer to upload 
their papers after registering, the tracking ID must be used. The deadline 
for paper uploading is March 26th, 23:55 BRST.
We will *only* accept files either in pdf or in ps format. Please do not try 
to upload doc or rtf files, they will be rejected by the system. Note also 
that contrary to earlier years we only accept electronic submissions through 
JEMS. Please do not send papers directly to the PC-chairs. Submissions sent 
by regular courrier or by email will *not* be considered.

Style guide

Papers must be written in English and should be no longer than 6 pages 
(style of the IEEE Computer Society - 
http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm), including all tables, 
figures, and references. Formatting instructions, LaTeX macros and MSWord 
templates are available at 
<ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings>.

Submissions violating the formatting guidelines will be *excluded* from the 
reviewing process.
