        18th Int. Conf. on Engineering Applications of Neural Networks
              EANN 2017 (Athens, Greece, August 25-27, 2017)
                Paper submission deadline: 20th April, 2017

Call for Papers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
EANN promotes the use of ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS (ANN) and ARTIFICIAL 
INTELLIGENCE (AI) techniques, where significant benefits can be derived 
from their use. The conference is not only for reporting advances in 
techniques, but also for showing how ANN and AI can provide practical 
solutions in a wide range of applications.

Papers are presented orally. Submissions are welcome from all fields of 
Artificial Intelligence and engineering and some special sessions, 
dedicated to these different fields are organized. Both theoretical and 
practical work should be submitted, but the authors are encouraged to 
focus their paper on the presentation of an application featuring 
experimental results on real world data.


Proceedings
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer CCIS 
Series. Authors are invited to submit electronically original, 
English-language research contributions or experience reports not 
concurrently submitted elsewhere. The proceedings of the conference will 
be published in Springer CCIS Series. Papers should be no longer than 10 
pages formatted according to the well known LNCS Springer style. 
Submissions not conforming to the CCIS format, or being obviously out of 
the scope of the conference, will be rejected without review. 
Information about the Springer format can be found at 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Three to five keywords 
characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract.
