ACNN'95 is the annual national meeting of the Australian neural network community. It is a multi-disciplinary meeting and seeks contributions from Neuroscientists, Engineers, Computer Scientists, Mathematicians, Physicists and Psychologists. ACNN'95 will feature a number of invited speakers. The program will include presentations and poster sessions. Proceedings will be printed and distributed to the attendees. The posters will be displayed for a significant period of time, and time will be allocated for authors to be present at their poster in the conference program. Software demonstrations will be possible for authors. SparcStations, DEC Stations and PCs will be available in an adjacent laboratory for these demonstrations. Invited Keynote Speaker ACNN'95 will feature a number of keynote speakers, including Dr Larry Jackel, AT&T Bell Laboratories and Dr Edmund Rolls, Oxford University. Pre-Conference Workshops Pre-Conference Workshops covering basic introductions to neural computing, neuroscience, applications and implementations will be held. A separate flyer describing the workshops will be issued at a later date. Workshop on Industrial Application of Neural Computing The Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering will be organising a workshop on industrial application of neural computing. A separate information sheet will be issued. Submission Categories The major categories for paper submissions include, but are not restricted to: 1. Neuroscience: Integrative function of neural networks in vision, Audition, Motor, Somatosensory and Autonomic functions; Synaptic function; Cellular information processing; 2. Theory: Learning; Generalisation; Complexity; Scaling; Stability; Dynamics; 3. Implementation: Hardware implementation of neural nets; Analog and digital VLSI implementation; Optical implementation; 4. Architectures and Learning Algorithms: New architectures and learning algorithms; Hierarchy; Modularity; Learning pattern sequences; Information integration; 5. Cognitive Science and AI: Computational models of perception and pattern recognition; Memory; Concept formation; Problem solving and reasoning; Visual and auditory attention; Language acquisition and production; Neural network implementation of expert systems; 6. Applications: Application of neural nets to signal processing and analysis; Pattern recognition: Speech, Machine vision; Motor control; Robotics; Forecast; Medical. Initial Submission of Papers As this is a multi-disciplinary meeting, papers are required to be comprehensible to an informed researcher outside the particular stream of the author in addition to the normal requirements of technical merit. Papers should be submitted as close as possible to final form and must not exceed four single A4 pages (2-column format). The first page should include the title and abstract, and should leave space for, but not include the authors' names and affiliations. A cover page should be supplied giving the title of the paper, the name and affiliation of each author, together with the postal address, the e-mail address, and the phone and fax numbers of a designated contact author. The type font should be no smaller than 10 point except in footnotes. A serif font such as Times or New Century Schoolbook is preferred. Four copies of the paper and the front cover sheet should be sent to: Agatha Shotam ACNN'95 Secretariat University of Sydney Department of Electrical Engineering NSW 2006 Australia Each manuscript should clearly indicate submission category (from the six listed) and author preference for oral or poster presentations. This initial submission must be on hard copy to reach us by Friday, 2 September 1994. Submission Deadlines Friday, 2 September 1994 Deadline for receipt of paper submissions Friday, 28 October 1994 Notification of acceptance Friday, 2 December 1994 Final papers in camera-ready form for printing Venue Peter Nicol Russell Building, University of Sydney, Australia.
