November 10 - 13, 1996
Marriott Pavilion Hotel
St. Louis, Missouri
ANNIE '96 will be held on November 10 - 13, 1996, at
Marriott's Pavilion Hotel in downtown St. Louis, Missouri,
USA. This will be the sixth international gathering of
researchers interested in engineering applications of neural
networks, fuzzy logic, and evolutionary programming. The
previous conferences drew approximately 150 papers each
from twenty countries and their proceedings were
published by ASME press as hardbound books in five
volumes titled Intelligent Engineering Systems Through
Artificial Neural Networks Fuzzy Logic and Evolutionary
Programming, edited by Dagli, C.H., et al.
The conference will cover the theory of artificial neural
networks, fuzzy logic, and evolutionary programming, and
their applications in the engineering domain. The objective
of the conference is to bring together researchers in the
field of neural networks, fuzzy logic, and evolutionary
programming, and exchange ideas on their applications to
engineering problems. Presentations dealing with
applications of these emerging technologies are
encouraged in the areas of: manufacturing engineering,
biology and medicine, pattern recognition, image
processing, process monitoring, control, recent theoretical
developments in artificial neural network architectures,
fuzzy logic, evolutionary programming, fractals, chaos, and
wavelets that can impact engineering applications.

All papers will be reviewed by two referees for technical
merit and content by senior researchers in the field to
assure a high-quality conference and proceedings based on
full paper submissions. Authors are requested to submit a
letter of intent, an information sheet that includes the full
name of the author(s), title, address, phone number, FAX
number, E-mail and/or URL address, and an abstract (up to
200 words) by March 1, 1996. Full papers are due by May
17, 1996. Authors will be notified of the status of their
submittal by July 5, 1996; and camera-ready manuscripts
will be due by August 9, 1996. Approximately six to eight
pages will be allocated for each accepted paper in the
proceedings. Authors should forward their letter of intent,
information sheet, abstract and full paper to:

EXHIBITORS
ANNIE '96 is inviting companies and research institutions
interested in Artificial Neural Network, Fuzzy Logic, and
Evolutionary Programming Applications in Engineering, to
take part in the ANNIE Exhibition to be held on November
10-13, 1996. Book companies publishing in this area are
also welcome. For further information, please contact
Conference Chair.
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
Papers submitted to the conference will be reviewed by
two referees and all accepted papers will be published as
a hardbound book published by ASME Press and edited by
Drs. Dagli, Akay, Chen, Fernandez, and Ghosh. A copy of
the book will be given to each participant at the
conference. After the conference, the book will be
available from the publisher.
INDUSTRIAL PANEL
ANNIE 96 is planning to make available data sets for process
monitoring and control provided by industry for comparing
the performance of various control models proposed by
authors. The details of the process will not be disclosed to
the researchers. The best model will be selected by the
representative of the industry, who knows the real life
process. Each researcher will present their results on
Wednesday, November 13, 1996, during the industrial panel.
If you are interested in participating in this activity as a
researcher, you can download the data from ANNIE 96 home
page and indicate your
willingness to participate by August 9, 1996 to the
Conference Chair. If you would like to provide data as an
industry, please contact the Conference Chair by March 1,
1996.
