Thanks to the sponsorship of IEEE Signal Processing Society and to 
the cooperation of IEEE Signal Processing Society Tokyo Chapter, 
the sixth of a series of IEEE workshops on Neural Networks for 
Signal Processing will be held at Keihanna Plaza, Seika, 
Kyoto, Japan.  Papers are solicited for, but not limited to, 
the following areas: 

Paradigms:
artificial neural networks, Markov models, fuzzy logic, 
inference net, evolutionary computation, nonlinear signal 
processing, and wavelet

Application areas:
speech processing, image processing, OCR, robotics, adaptive 
filtering, communications, sensors, system identification, 
issues related to RWC, and other general signal processing 
and pattern recognition

Theories:
generalization, design algorithms, optimization, parameter 
estimation, and network architectures

Implementations:
parallel and distributed implementation, hardware design,  
and other general implementation technologies

Prospective authors are invited to submit 5 copies of extended 
summaries of no more than 6 pages.  The top of the first page of the 
summary should include a title, authors' names, affiliations, 
address, telephone and fax numbers and email address, if any.  
Camera-ready full papers of accepted proposals will be published in 
a hard-bound volume by IEEE and distributed at the workshop.  For 
further information, please contact Ms. Masae SHIOJI, (Tel.) +81 
(774) 95 1052, (Fax.) +81 (774) 95 1008, (e-mail) shioji@hip.atr.co.jp,
