WORLD CONGRESS ON NEURAL NETWORKS 1994 (WCNN '94) Annual Meeting of the International Neural Network Society Town and Country Hotel - San Diego, California, USA - June 4-9, 1994 CALL FOR PAPERS deadline December 10, 1993 WHY WCNN '94? INNS has incorporated many of your suggestions from earlier IJCNNs, WCNNs to create the best conference on neural networks to date. These include: * A more comprehensive learning experience. The new 2-day INNS University Sh ort Course format provides courses twice as long and in-depth as any other tutor ial program. * The latest advances in the field. New sessions in chaos, mathematics, neuroprocessing and virtual reality, prediction, and AI plus special session on some of the latest applications of neural networks. * A better opportunity to attend the talks you want to hear. The invited tal ks at WCNN '94 sessions will be staggered and will not run in competition with each other. You will not have to choose between invited talks. * More opportunities to present your work. WCNN '94 has opened up new categories for paper submission to encourage your participation. Read the Ca ll for Papers below. * The latest software and hardware applications. The new Neural Network Industrial Exposition will be a dedicated event demonstrating the latest products in neural networks and hosted by industry experts. * Many other improvements based on your responses to past meetings. ________________________________________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS: Papers must be received by December 10, 1993. The deadline will NOT be extended. Authors must submit registration payment with papers to be eligibl e for the early registration fee. Six (6) copies (1 original, (5) copies) are required for submission. Do not fold or staple originals. Six page limit, in English. $20 per page for papers exceeding (6) pages (do not number pages). Checks for overlength charges should be made out to INNS and Must be include d with submitted paper.
