##################################################

 

Come and join us for the 30th anniversary of IJCNN, the premier
international conference in the area of neural network theory, analysis, and
applications. Co-sponsored by the International Neural Network Society
(INNS) and the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (IEEE-CIS), over the
last three decades this conference and its predecessors have hosted [past,
present, and future] leaders of neural network research. IJCNN 2017 will
feature invited plenary talks by world-renowned speakers in the areas of
neural network theory and applications, computational neuroscience,
robotics, and distributed intelligence.

 

The 2017 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2017) will
be held at the William A. Egan Civic and Convention Center in Anchorage,
Alaska, USA, May 14-19, 2017. "... Only in Anchorage can you meet a moose,
walk on a glacier and explore a vast, natural park all in a single day.
Between mountains and an inlet, surrounded by national parks and filled with
Alaska wildlife, Anchorage combines the best of Alaska in a city that has
the comforts of home and the hospitality of the Last Frontier. ..."
