CALL FOR PAPERS TENTATIVE 1994 IEEE/Nagoya University World Wisemen/women Workshop(WWW) ON FUZZY LOGIC AND NEURAL NETWORKS/GENETIC ALGORITHMS -Architecture and Applications for Knowledge Acquisition/Adaptation- August 9 and 10, 1994 Nagoya University Symposion Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, JAPAN Sponsored by Nagoya University Co-sponsored by IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Technically Co-sponsored by IEEE Neural Network Council IEEE Robotics and Automation Society International Fuzzy Systems Association Japan Society for Fuzzy Theory and Systems North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society Society of Instrument and Control Engineers Robotics Society of Japan There are growing interests in combination technologies of fuzzy logic and neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm for acquisition of experts' knowledge, modeling of nonlinear systems, realizing adaptive systems. The goal of the 1994 IEEE/Nagoya University WWW on Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks/Genetic Algorithm is to give its attendees opportunities to exchange information and ideas on various aspects of the Combination Technologies and to stimulate and inspire pioneering works in this area. To keep the quality of these workshop high, only a limited number of people are accepted as participants of the workshops. The papers presented at the workshop will be edited and published from the Oxford University Press. TOPICS: Combination of Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks, Combination of Fuzzy Logic and Genetic Algorithm, Learning and Adaptation, Knowledge Acquisition, Modeling, Human Machine Interface IMPORTANT DATES: Submission of Abstracts of Papers : April 31, 1994 Acceptance Notification : May 31, 1994 Final Manuscript : July 1, 1994 A partial or full assistance of travel expenses for speakers of excellent papers will be provided by the WWW. The candidates should apply as soon as possible, preferably by Jan. 30, '94 All correspondence and submission of papers should be sent to Takeshi Furuhashi, General Chair Dept. of Information Electronics, Nagoya University Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya 464-01, JAPAN TEL: +81-52-781-5111 ext.2792 FAX: +81-52-781-9263 E mail: furu@uchikawa.nuem.nagoya-u.ac.jp IEEE/Nagoya University WWW: IEEE/Nagoya University WWW(World Wisemen/women Workshop) is a series of workshops sponsored by Nagoya University and co-sponsored by IEEE Industrial Electronics Society. City of Naoya, located two hours away from Tokyo, has many electro-mechanical industries in its surroundings such as Mitsubishi, TOYOTA, and their allied companies. Nagoya is a mecca of robotics industries, machine industries and aerospace industries in Japan. The series of workshops will give its attendees opportunities to exchange information on advanced sciences and technologies and to visit industries and research institutes in this area. *This workshop will be held just after the 3rd International Conference on Fuzzy Logic, Neural Nets and Soft Computing(IIZUKA'94) from Aug. 1 to 7, '94.
