The third International Workshop on artificial Neural Networks, will take place in the Spanish "Costa del Sol" (Malaga) from 7 to 9 of June, 1995. This biennial meeting with focus on Biological Models and New Computing Paradigms, was first held in Granada (1991) and Sitges (1993) with a growing number of participants from more than 20 countries and with high quality papers published by Springer-Verlag (LNCS 540 and 686). SCOPE From the computational viewpoint, standard neural networks paradigms are nearly exhausted and some fresh air is needed. In this workshop, remaining with the powerful roots of neural computation (modularity, autonomy, distributed computation and self-programming via supervised or non-supervised learning), focus is placed on Biological Modeling, the search of Theory and Design Methodologies and the bridge between Connectionism and Symbolic Computation. IWANN's main objective is to offer an interdisciplinary forum for scientists and engineers from Neurology, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Electronics, Cognitive Science and applied domains, looking after brain storming and innovative formulations of Natural and Artificial Neural Computation. It is the deep feeling of the IWANN's organizers that this more-complex, biologically inspired, and theoretical and methodologically supported approach will also provide us with more powerful tools for applied domains. Contributions on the following or related topics are welcome. TOPICS 1. Neuroscience: (Principles, methodologies in brain research, modeling and simulation, central and peripheral neural coding, dendro-dentritic nets, local circuits, anatomical and physiological organizations, plasticity, learning and memory in natural neural nets, models of development and evolution, specific circuits in sensorial and motor pathways, networks in cerebral cortex). 2. Computational Models of Neurons and Neural Nets: Continuous (linear, high order, recurrent), logic, sequential, inferential (object oriented, production rules, frames), probabilistic, Bayesian, fuzzy and chaotic models, hybrid formulations, massive computation and learning enabling structures for all these formulations. 3. Organizational Principles: The living organization, deterministic networks dynamics, autopoiesis, self-organization, cooperative processes and emergent computation, synergetics, evolutive optimization and genetic algorithms. 4. Learning: Inspirations from the biological mechanisms of learning, supervised and unsupervised strategies, local self-programming, continous learning, evolutive algorithms, symbolic-subsymbolic formulations. 5. Cognitive Science and AI: Neural networks for knowledge acquisition, multisensorial integration, perception, knowledge- based neural nets, inductive, deductive and abductive reasoning, memory mechanisms, natural language. 6. Neurosimulators: Languages, environments, parallelization, modularity, extensibility and benchmarks. 7. Hardware Implementation: VLSI, parallel architectures, neurochips, preprocessing networks, neurodevices, FPGA's, benchmarks, optical and other technologies. 8. Neural Networks for Perception: Low level processing, segmentation, feature extraction, pattern recognition, adaptive filtering, noise reduction, texture, motion analysis, hybrid symbolic-neural architectures for artificial vision. 9. Neural Networks for communications systems: Modems and codecs, network management, digital communications. 10. Neural Networks for control and robotics: Systems identification, motion planning and control, adaptive and predictive control, navigation, real time applications. LOCATION Malaga - Costa del Sol, June 7-9, 1995. Malaga, capital of the Costa del Sol, is strategically located on the southern coast of Spain. It is a genuine crossroads of communication and culture. Malaga is well-know for its history (Cathedral, historic down-town, arabian citadel, roman amphitheatre, ...) and excelent beaches. Malaga, with many modern hotels, is very well communicated by car or plane; its international airport has direct flights to all major European capitals, to America and some destinations on the other continents. LANGUAGE English will the official language of IWANN'95. Simultaneous translation will not be provided. CALL FOR PAPERS The Programme Committee seeks original papers on the above mentioned Topics. Authors should pay special attention to explanation of theoretical and technical choices involved, point out possible limitations and describe the current state of their work. Authors must take into account the following: INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS Authors must submit four copies of full papers, not exceeding 8 pages in DIN-A4 format. The heading should be centered and include: . Title in capitals. . Name(s) of author(s). . Address(es) of author(s). . A 10 line abstract. Three blank lines should be left between each of the above items, and four between the heading and the body of the paper, 1.6 cm left, right, top and bottom margins, single-spaced and not exceeding the 8 page limit.
