Connectionists: IJCNN 2015, call for papers, special session, workshop and tutorials

[Giacomo Boracchi]

IJCNN 2015 - International Joint Conference on Neural Networks
July 12-17, 2015, Killarney Convention Center, Killarney, Ireland
http://www.ijcnn.org

IJCNN is the premier international conference in the area of neural network
theory, analysis, and applications. Co-sponsored by the International
Neural Network Society and the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society,
over the last three decades this conference and its predecessors has hosted
[past, present, and future] leaders of neural network research. In an era
when neural networks are widely used and reported in many areas,
scientists, engineers, educators, and students from all over the world can
get the best overall view of neural networks, from neuroscience to advanced
control systems to cognition, at the IJCNN.


We're working hard on the conference program and events. Keep working on
your paper submissions, and submit your proposals for Special Sessions,
Tutorials or Workshops on the IJCNN 2015 website. Email your Competition
proposal to Chair Abir Hussain as noted above. Email any of these Chairs if
you wish to discuss your ideas for proposals.

* Call for Papers *
See our Call for Papers for a much more detailed lists of the topics.
http://www.ijcnn.org/call-for-papers


*Call for Special Sessions*
http://www.ijcnn.org/call-for-special-sessions
The IJCNN 2015 Program Committee solicits proposals for special sessions
within the technical scopes of the Congress. Special sessions, to be
organized by internationally recognized experts, aim to bring together
researchers focused in special, novel and challenging topics.
Fast-developing themes such as Deep Learning, Big Data, or applications to
challenging fields like chemistry, biology, computer games, robotics, etc.
are examples. Papers submitted for special sessions are to be peer-reviewed
with the same criteria used for the contributed papers. Researchers
interested in organizing special sessions are invited to submit a formal
proposal using the on-line form of the Special Sessions webpage.
For further details please contact the Special Session Co-chairs:
- Mike Gashler. University of Arkansas. USA, and
- Jose Garcia-Rodriguez. University of Alicante. Spain
Deadline: November 10th, 2014.


*Call for Competition Proposals*
http://www.ijcnn.org/call-for-competition
Competitions compare cutting edge neural network technologies, and test
them along with alternative, more traditional methods for solving difficult
practical problems. As examples, past competitions have included time
series prediction, microarray classification, neural connectomics, computer
games, pedestrian trajectories avoidance, computer vision and pattern
recognition. Competition organisers are kindly invited to submit their
proposals to Abir Hussain, Competitions Chair, Liverpool John MooresU, UK
by November 15th, 2014. The notifications of acceptance of the competition
proposals will be provided by November 30, 2014. Please note that each
accepted competition will be posted in a separate web page of the IJCNN
2015 website.

A winning certificate and free registration will be provided to the winner
of each competition who attends IJCNN 2015.

*Please note that your proposals for Special Sessions and Competitions are
due in one month!!! *

*Call for Tutorials*
http://www.ijcnn.org/call-for-tutorials
IJCNN 2015 will feature pre-conference tutorials addressing fundamental and
advanced topics in computational intelligence. Further questions should be
addressed to : Martin McGinnity, Tutorials Chair, Nottingham Trent
University, UK.

*Call for Workshops*
http://www.ijcnn.org/call-for-workshops
- Post-conference workshops offer a unique opportunity for in-depth
discussions of specific topics in neural networks and computational
intelligence. A form for submitting proposals is provided on the web-page
http://www.ijcnn.org/call-for-workshops Any questions regarding this
proposal may be asked of the Workshop Chair: Pierre-Yves Oudeyer, Workshop
Chair, INRIA, France.


More details about the charming Killarney siting for the conference can be
found on our website www.ijcnn.org.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Ireland!!
