                      FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
 
              Special Issue of the NeuroVe$t Journal 

    Special Issue Theme: Hybrid Neural Networks for Financial Forecasting

             Submission Deadline: September 3, 1996

                Publication Date: January 1997

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finance & Technology Publishing is seeking papers reporting original research
for review and publication in the NeuroVe$t Journal special issue on 
HYBRID NEURAL NETWORKS FOR FINANCIAL FORECASTING scheduled for publication
in January 1997.

Aims and Scope: 
Current machine learning prediction systems are very limited in the type of
knowledge they can use for learning. This design limitation is particularly 
serious when applied to financial domains where sample data is very noisy and 
non-stationary. Although potentially better results are achievable using 
learning systems that integrate two or more types of knowledge representation 
and/or multiple inference underlying a learning process, to date little has been
published on such hybrid approaches to financial modeling. Potential subjects 
of interest to this special issue include systems in which neural networks are 
integrated with other prediction techniques (e.g. trading rules, stochastic 
analysis, nonlinear dynamics, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, etc.) to 
complement limited training data information into more accurate prediction 
systems.

Submission Procedure:
Prospective authors are invited to submit three hardcopies and a softcopy
of a complete manuscript by SEPTEMBER 3, 1996 to either the Guest Editor or 
to the Editor-in-Chief. Papers should be double-spaced, single-sided and the 
text should be 4000 to 5000 words in length, contain no more than 10 
references. Authors should provide a brief biographic sketch of themselves. 
Each copy submitted should include a page that contains the title of the 
paper, the full name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s), complete mailing 
address and telephone numbers of all authors, and a 150 to 300 word abstract.
Text citations must use the following format: last name(s) of author(s),
publication date and suffix (as necessary) in brackets. Example: [Watkins 
and McCoy 1993a]. References must be listed alphabetically by the last name 
of the first author. The preferred file format for a softcopy is Word for 
Windows. All formating details are available at the NeuroVeSt WWW location
