Standards Projects:  Computational Intelligence (CI)
Neural Networks (NN) * Fuzzy Systems (FZ) * Evolutionary Systems (EC)
Virtual Reality (VR)

Important:
To obtain electronic copies of the latest drafts of the IEEE Standards on 
CI, NN, FZ, EC, and/or VR, please contact Bob Labelle, 
IEEE Standards, 445 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08855 
Phone: (908) 526 3800; FAX (908) 562 1571; email: r.labelle@ieee.org.  
For questions or details, contact  mpadgett@eng.auburn.edu

Formal working groups are being organized in all of these areas, 
and draft standards are in various stages of development.
Interactive exchange of ideas and comments is encouraged.  
The new IEEE SPA System, managed by Bob Labelle, 
will provide easy access to the current material, 
and pointers to locations for other information.  
The focal areas will have mail servers:  majordomo@mail.ieee.org 
and they will be named and coordinated as follows:

Bob Labelle will be rapidly expanding these electronic sites so that 
WWW pages and ftp sites will be available.  
Anyone with a computer, telephone and modem will be able to access 
this information.  

YOUR INPUT IS IMPORTANT TO US!!!

Please fill out the enclosed survey form and return it quickly, 
so we can stay in contact with you.

Thank you for your interest and cooperation.
