                      REVISED CALL FOR PAPERS                   
                   WORLD CONGRESS ON NEURAL NETWORKS     
    1995 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONL NEURAL NETWORKS SOCIETY    
          
                         JULY 17-21, 1995                
                   RENAISSANCE HOTEL/WASHINGTON, DC  

SPECIAL FEATURES: March 1 Due Date, Reduced registration fee, both 
CD-ROM
and paper proceedings.  

Four-page papers are due by 1 March 1995.  Note the change in deadline
date.  Authors must submit registration payment with papers to be
eligible for the early registration fee.  A $35 publication fee must
accompany each submission that the conference committee will refund if
it rejects the paper.  The $35 publication fee helps defray the
Proceedings cost and allows the conference committee to offer a lower
registration fee.  The 1995 registration-plus- publication fee of $205
is comparable to the 1994 registration fee.  This service has been
provided to make the meeting more affordable for attendees who do not
plan to have published articles in the proceedings.  Please make checks
payable to INNS and include with submitted paper.
  

For review purposes, please submit six (6) copies (1 original, 5
copies) plus 3 1/2" disk (see instructions below), four page limit, in
English.  $20 per page for papers exceeding (4) pages (do not number
pages).  Checks for over length charges should be made out to INNS and
must be included with submitted paper.  Papers must be on 8 1/2" x 11"
white paper with 1" margins on all sides, one column format, single
spaced, in Times or similar type style of 10 points or larger, one side
of paper only.  FAX's not acceptable.  Centered at top of first page
should be complete title, author name(s), affiliation(s), and mailing
address(es), followed by blank space abstract (up to 15 lines), and
text.  The following information MUST be included in an accompanying
cover letter in order for the paper to be reviewed:  Full title of
paper, corresponding author and presenting author name, address,
telephone and fax numbers.  Technical Session (see session topics) 1st
and  2nd choices, oral or poster presentation preferred, audio-visual
requirements (for oral presentations only).  Papers submitted which do
not meet these requirements or for which insufficient funds are
submitted will be returned.
  

For the first time, the proceedings of the 1995 World Congress on
Neural Networks will be distributed on CD-ROM.  The CD-ROM Proceedings
are included in your registration fee.  Accepted papers will appear in
BOTH CD-ROM and paper Proceedings format.  Format a 3 1/2" disk for
CD-ROM:  Once paper is proofed, completed and printed for review,
reformat the paper in Landscape format, page size 8" x 5" for CD.  You
may include a separate file with 1 paragraph biographical information
with your name, company, address and telephone number.  Presenters
