ICONIP'96 EXTENSION OF PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE
1996 International Conference
on
Neural Information Processing
The Annual Conference of the Asian Pacific Neural Network Assembly
ICONIP'96, September 24 - 27, 1996
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, Wan Chai, Hong Kong
In cooperation with
IEEE / NNC --IEEE Neural Networks Council
INNS - International Neural Network Society
ENNS - European Neural Network Society
JNNS - Japanese Neural Network Society
CNNC - China Neural Networks Council
In consideration of many requests from Europe, USA as well as Asia
Pacific region for a possible extension of paper submission deadline
for ICONIP'96, the ICONIP'96 Organizing Committee has decided to
extend the paper submission deadline.
----- The Extended Paper Submission Deadline : March 10, 1996 ----
The goal of ICONIP'96 is to provide a forum for researchers and
engineers from academia and industry to meet and to exchange ideas on
the latest developments in neural information processing. The
conference also further serves to stimulate local and regional
interests in neural information processing and its potential
applications to industries indigenous to this region. The conference
consists of two tracks. One is SCIENTIFIC TRACK for the latest results
on Theories, Technologies, Methods, Architectures and Algorithms in
neural information processing. The other is APPLICATION TRACK for
various neural network applications in any engineering/technical field
and any business/service sector. There will be a one-day tutorial on
the neural networks for capital markets which reflects Hong Kong's
local interests on financial services. In addition, there will be
several invited lectures in the main conference.
Hong Kong is one of the most dynamic cities in the world with
world-class facilities, easy accessibility, exciting entertainment,
and high levels of service and professionalism. Come to Hong Kong!
Visit this Eastern Pearl in this historical period before Hong Kong's
return to China in 1997.
