Call for Papers

=================================================

Artificial Neural Networks and Adaptive Systems

a session at the Sixteenth European Meeting on Cybernetics and Systems Research

=================================================

supported by EUNITE

April 2-5, 2002 University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria

chairs: Stefanos Kollias, Greece Georg Dorffner, Austria

For this session, papers on any theoretical or practical aspect of artificial neural networks are invited. Special focus, however, will be put on the issue of adaptivity both in practical engineering applications and in applications of neural networks to the modeling of human behavior. By adaptivity we mean the capability of a neural network to adjust itself to changing environments. We make a careful distinction between "learning" to devise weight matrices for a neural network before it is applied (and usually left unchanged) on one hand, and true adaptivity of a given neural network to constantly changing conditions on the other hand - i.e. incremental learning in unstationary environments.

Deadline for submissions (electronic or hardcopy):

!!! November 2, 2001 !!!
