** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ** 1993 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NEURAL NETWORKS SECOND IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FUZZY SYSTEMS March 28 - April 1, 1993 San Francisco Hilton San Francisco, California The IEEE Neural Networks Council cordially invites you to attend the Second International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE'93) and the 1993 IEEE International Conference on Neural Networks (ICNN'93), to be held concurrently at the San Francisco Hilton Hotel, San Francisco, California from March 28 to April 1, 1993. These IEEE-sponsored events have grown to become the largest conferences in their fields. In 1993, their importance will be enhanced by their combined meeting in an environment that assures that conference participants will have full access to all functions and events of either of these multidisciplinary meetings. In addition to an exciting program of plenary lectures, tutorial presentations, and technical sessions and panels, we anticipate an extraordinary trade show and exhibits program affording a unique opportunity to become acquainted with the latest developments in products based on neural-networks and fuzzy-systems techniques.
