The two first successful editions each gathered about 100 scientists, coming from Western and Eastern Europe, but also from USA, Japan, Australia, New Zealand,... The field of Artificial Neural Networks includes a lot of different disciplines, from mathematics and statistics to robotics and electronics. For this reason, actual studies concern various aspects of the field, sometimes to the detriment of strong, well established foundations for these researches; it is obvious that a better knowledge of the basic aspects of neurocomputing, and more effective comparisons with other computing methods are strongly necessary for a profitable long-term use of neural networks in applications. The purpose of the ESANN conferences is to present the latest results in the fundamental aspects of artificial neural networks. Invited and survey talks will also present a comprehensive view of particular topics of the conference. The program committee of ESANN'95 welcomes papers covering new results or being of tutorial nature, and dealing with theoretical, biological or mathematical aspects of artificial neural networks, or with the relations between neural networks and other fields. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics which will be covered during ESANN'95 : + theory + models and architectures + mathematics + learning algorithms + biologically plausible artificial networks + formal models of biological phenomena + neurobiological systems + approximation of functions + adaptive behavior + signal processing + statistics + self-organization + evolutive learning Invited talks will be given by H.P. Mallot (Max-Planck-Institut fur Biologische Kybernetik, Tbingen, Germany), and by P. Comon (Thomson-Sintra Sophia Antipolis, France). Other invited talks are to be announced. The conference will be held in the center of Brussels, the capital of Belgium. Close to most great European cities, Brussels is exceptionally well served by closely-knit motorway and railway systems, and an international airport. Besides an artistic and cultural center of attraction, Brussels is also renowned for its countless typical cafs, for its famous and typical Belgian food, and for its considerable night life. Call for contributions ______________________ Prospective authors are invited to submit six originals of their contribution before November 29, 1994. Working language of the conference (including proceedings) is English. Papers should not exceed six A4 pages (including figures and references). Printing area will be 12.2 x 19.3 cm (centered on the A4 page); left, right, top and bottom margins will thus respectively be 4.4, 4.4, 5.2 and 5.2 cm. 10-point Times font will be used for the main text; headings will be in bold characters (but not underlined), and will be separated from the main text by two blank lines before and one after. Manuscripts prepared in this format will be reproduced in the same size in the book. Originals of the figures will be pasted into the manuscript and centered between the margins. The lettering of the figures should be in 10-point Times font size. Figures should be numbered. The legends also should be centered between the margins and be written in 9-point Times font size as follows: Fig. 3. Text follows ... The pages of the manuscript will not be numbered (numbering decided by the editor). AUTHORS ARE STRONGLY INVITED TO ASK FOR THE FULL INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS (see coordinates below). A separate page (not included in the manuscript) will indicate: + the title of the manuscript + author(s) name(s) + the complete address (including phone & fax numbers and E-mail) of the corresponding author + a list of five keywords or topics On the same page, the authors will copy and sign the following paragraph: "in case of acceptation of the paper for presentation at ESANN 95: - at least one of the authors will register to the conference and will present the paper - the author(s) give their rights up over the paper to the organizers of ESANN 95, for the proceedings and any publication that could directly be generated by the conference - if the paper does not match the format requirements for the proceedings, the author(s) will send a revised version within two weeks of the notification of acceptation." Contributions must be sent to the conference secretariat. Examples of camera-ready contributions can be obtained by writing to the same address.
