******************* CALL FOR PAPERS ******************* ANZIIS-94 Second Australian and New Zealand Conference on Intelligent Information Systems Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Tutorials:29 November, Conference: 30 Nov - 2 December 1994 Major fields: Artificial Intelligence Fuzzy Systems Neural Networks Evolutionary Computation The Second Australian and New Zealand Conference on Intelligent Information Systems (ANZIIS-94) will be held in Brisbane, from 29 November to 2 December 1994. This follows the successful inaugural conference, ANZIIS-93, held in Perth in December 1993. The Conference will offer an international forum for discussion of new research on the key methods of intelligent information processing: conventional artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, and evolutionary algorithms. The conference will include invited keynote presentations and contributed papers in oral and poster presentations. All papers will be refereed and published in the proceedings. TUTORIALS AND PANEL SESSIONS The Organising Programme Committee cordially invites proposals for tutorials and special interest sessions relevant to the scope of the conference. Proposals should include details of the proponent including mailing, e-mail and fax addresses, and research record. ABOUT BRISBANE Brisbane is a cosmopolitan and pleasant subtropical city. It is the heart of the vibrant south-east Queensland region that streches over 200 Km from the Gold to the Sunshine Coasts. It is not only a focal point for national and international tourists but tens of thousands Australians every year decide to set up home here. We recommed conference participants to set aside a few extra days to explore the region, either on their own leisure or by taking part in the special pre and post conference activities to be announced. Application areas will include, but will not be limited to: Adaptive Systems Artificial Life Autonomous Vehicles Data Analysis Factory Automation Financial Markets Intelligent Databases Knowledge Engineering Machine Vision Pattern Recognition Machine Learning Neurobiological Systems Control Systems Optimisation Parallel and Distributed Computing Robotics Prediction Sensorimotor Systems Signal Processing Speech Processing Virtual Reality INFORMATION ANZIIS-94 Secretariat School of Computing Science Queensland University of Technology GPO Box 2434 Brisbane, Q 4001, Australia.

Papers should be laser printed on A4 size pages with 25 mm margins on all four sides using a Roman font not smaller than 10 points. The maximum allowed length of an article is 5 pages. The paper should be set in two column format, using the LaTex "article" style or following the style of the IEEE Transaction journals. The papers should contain an abstract and the complete mailing addresses of the authors. Papers will be reviewed internationally. Accepted articles will be published as submitted, as there is no opportunity for revision. Only those papers for which the presenting author has registered as a conference delegate will be printed in the proceedings. Extra copies of the Proceedings will be marketed through the IEEE book brokerage program.
