MICRONEURO 94 Torino (I), September 26-28, 1994 FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS The Fourth International Conference on Microelectronics for Neural Networks and Fuzzy Systems Deadline: Submission of paper and/or ideas - May 30, 1994 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=== This conference is the fourth in a series of international conferences dedicated to all aspects of hardware implementations of neural networks and fuzzy systems. MICRONEURO has emerged as the only international forum devoted specifically to all hardware implementation aspects, giving particular weight to those interdisciplinary issues which affect the design of neural and fuzzy hardware directly. TOPICS The conference program will focus upon all aspects of hardware implementations of neural networks and fuzzy systems and their applications in the real world. Topics will concentrate upon the following fields: - Analog and mixed-mode implementations - Digital implementations - Optical systems - Pulse-Stream computation - Weightless neural systems - Neural and Fuzzy hardware systems - Interfaces with external world - Applications of dedicated hardware - VLSI-friendly neural algorithms - New technologies for neural and fuzzy systems Selection criteria will be based also on technical relevance, novelty of the approach and on availability of performance measurements for the system/device. INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS All submitted material (written in English) will be refereed and should be typed on A4 paper, 1-1/2 spaced, 12 point font, 160 x 220 mm text size. All accepted material will apper in the proceedings. PAPERS should not exceed 10 pages including figures and text. Also reports on EARLY INNOVATIVE IDEAS will be considered for presentation. In this case the submission should be a short description of the novel idea, not exceeding 6 pages in length, and it must be clearly marked ``Innovative Idea''. The most interesting papers and ideas will be published in a special issue of IEEE MICRO. SUBMISSIONS Six copies of final manuscripts, written according to the above requirements, shall be submitted to the Program Chairman. Submissions arriving late or significantly departing from length guidelines, or papers published elsewhere will be returned without review. Electronic versions of the submission (possibly in LATEX format) are kindly welcome. DEADLINES Submission of paper and/or ideas May 30, 1994 Notification of acceptance July 15, 1994 THE WORKSHOP VENUE The venue of MICRONEURO '94 is Torino, the historic and beautiful center of Piemonte. The town is surrounded by the highest mountains in Europe and by beautiful hills and landscapes. The region is also famous for its excellent wines. MICRONEURO '94 will be held at the Politecnico di Torino. The venue is conveniently located close to the town centre, with many restaurants and cafes close by. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=== General Chair: H.P.
