 (http://www.wcci2002.org)
 
 The annual IEEE/INNS International Joint Conference on Neural Networks
 (IJCNN), is one of the premier international conferences in the field.
 It covers all topics in neural networks, including but not limited to:
 - supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning,
  
 - hardware implementation,
 - time series analysis,
 - neurooptimization,
  
 - neurocontrol,
 - hybrid architectures,
 - bioinformatics,
 - neurobiology and neural modeling,
  
 - embedded neural systems,
 - intelligent agents,
 - image processing,
 - rule extraction,
  
 - statistics,
 - chaos,
 - learning theory,
 - and a huge variety of applications.
 
 The emphasis of the Congress will be on original theories and novel
 applications of neural networks. The Congress welcomes paper submissions
 from researchers, practitioners, and students worldwide. 
 
 IJCNN 2002 will be held in conjunction with the Congress on Evolutionary
 Computation (CEC) and the IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems
 (FUZZ-IEEE) as part of the World Congress on Computational Intelligence
 (WCCI). Crossfertilization of the three fields will be strongly
 encouraged.  The Congress will feature keynote speeches and tutorials by
 world-leading researchers. It also will include a number of special
 sessions and workshops on the latest hot topics. Your registration
 admits you to all events and includes the World Congress proceedings and
 banquet. 
 
 The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2001.
