Each tutorial will be three hours long. The tutorials should be designed as such and not as expanded talks. They should lead the student at the college Senior level through a pedagogically understandable development of the subject matter. Experts in neural networks and related fields are encouraged to submit proposed topics for tutorials. INDUSTRY FORUM INCLUDE: Guido J. Deboeck Robert Heckt-Nielsen Toshirou Fujiwara Tsuneharu Nitta A major industry forum will be held in the afternoon on Tuesday, October 26, 1993. Speakers will include representatives from industry, government, and academia. The aim of the forum is to permit attendees to understand more fully possible industrial applications of neural networks, discuss problems that have arisen in industrial applications, and to delineate new areas of research and development of neural network applications. EXHIBIT INFORMATION: Exhibitors are encouraged to present the latest innovations in neural networks, including electronic and optical neuro computers, fuzzy neural networks, neural network VLSI chips and development systems, neural network design and simulation tools, software systems, and application demonstration systems. A large group of vendors and participants from academia, industry and government are expected. We believe that the IJCNN'93-NAGOYA will be the neural network largest conference and trade-show in Japan, in which to exhibit your products. Potential exhibitors should plan to sign up before April 30, 1993 for exhibit booths since exhibit space is limited. Vendors may contact the IJCNN'93-NAGOYA Secretariat.

NAGOYA: The City of Nagoya, with a population of over two million, is the principal city of central Japan and lies at the heart of one of the three leading areas of the country. The area in and around the city contains a large number of high-tech industries with names known worldwide, such as Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda, Sony and Brother. The city's central location gives it excellent road and rail links to the rest of the country; there exist direct air services to 18 other cities in Japan and 26 cities abroad. Nagoya enjoys a temperate climate and agriculture flourishes on the fertile plain surrounding the city. The area has a long history; Nagoya is the birth place of two of Japan's greatest heroes: the Lords Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who did much to bring the 'Warring States' period to an end. Tokugawa Ieyasu who completed the task and established the Edo period was also born in the area. Nagoya is flourished under the benevolent rule of this lord and his descendants Climate and Clothing The climate in Nagoya in the late October is usually agreeable and stable, with an average temperature of 16-23 C(60-74 F). Heavy clothing is not necessary, however, a light sweater is recommended. Business suit as well as casual clothing is appropriate.

To be eligible to purchase a JAPAN RAIL PASS, you must purchase an Exchange Order from an authorized sales office or agent before you come to Japan. Please contact JTB offices or your travel agent for details. Note: The rail pass is a flash pass good on most of the trains and ferries in Japan. It provides very significant saving on transportation costs within Japan if you plan to travel more than just from Tokyo to Nagoya and return. Booking of Japan Railway tickets cannot be made before issuing Japan Rail Pass in Japan. Access to Nagoya Direct flights to Nagoya are available from the following cities: Seoul, Taipei, Pusan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Cheju, Jakarta, Denpasar, Kuala Lumpur, Honolulu, Portland, Los Angeles, Guam, Saipan, Toronto, Vancouver, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Moscow, Frankfurt, Paris, London, Brisbane, Cairns, Sydney and Auckland. Participants flying from the U.S.A. are urged to fly to Los Angeles, CA, or Portland, OR, and transfer to direct flights to Nagoya on Delta Airlines, or fly to Seoul, Korea, for a connecting flight to Nagoya. For participants from other countries, flights to Narita (the New Tokyo International Airport) or Osaka International Airport are recommended. Domestic flights are available from Narita to Nagoya, but not from Osaka. The bullet train, "Shinkansen", is a fast and convenient way to get to Nagoya from either Osaka or Tokyo. Transportation from Nagoya International Airport Bus service to the Nagoya JR train station is available every 15 minutes. The bus stop (signed as No. 1) is to your left as you exit the terminal. The trip takes about 1 hour. Transportation from Narita International Airport To the Tokyo JR train station (to connect with Shinkansen), 2 ways to get from Narita to the JR train station are recommended: 1. An express train from the airport to the Tokyo JR train station. This is an all reserved seat train. Buy tickets before boarding train. Follow the signs in the airport to JR Narita station. The trip takes 1 hour. 2. A non-stop service is available, leaving Narita airport every 15 minutes. The trip will take between one and one and a half hours or more, depending on traffic conditions. The limousine have reserved seating, so it is necessary to purchase a ticket before boarding. If you plan to stay in Tokyo overnight before proceeding to Nagoya, other limousine to major Tokyo hotels are available. Transportation from Osaka International Airport Non-stop-bus service to the Shin-Osaka JR train station is available every 15 min. Foreign Exchange and Travellaer's Checks Purchase of traveller's checks in Japanese yen or U.S. dollars before departure is recommended. The conference secretariat and most of stores will accept only Japanese yen in cash only. Major credit cards are accepted in a number of shops and hotels. Foreign currency exchange and cashing of traveller's checks are available at the New Tokyo International Airport, the Osaka International Airport and major hotels. Major banks that handle foreign currencies are located in the downtown area. Banks are open from 9:00 to 15:00 on the weekday, closed on Saturday and Sunday. Electricity 100 volts, 60 Hz.
