A tutorial entitled "Successful Neural Network Parallel Computing,"
will be given by Professor Yoshiyasu Takefuji
(Case Western Reserve University) in the International Joint Conference
on Neural Networks of '91 Singapore on November 18, 1991.
Topics covered in the tutorial include
neuron models (sigmoid neuron, McCulloch-Pitts neuron,
hysteresis McCulloch-Pitts neuron, maximum neuron),
molecular biology problems (predicting the secondary structure of
RNA molecules),
games (N-queen problems, knight's tour problems, tiling problems,
Hip games),
communication problems (crossbar switch scheduling),
sorting/string searching,
graph coloring (four-coloring and k-colorability),
other graph problems (maximum independent set problems,
max cut, maximum clique),
balanced incomplete block design problems,
reliability problems (spare allocation problems),
VLSI CAD problems (graph planarization, channel routing,
module orientation problems),
and maximum neural networks.
The reprints of the covered topics are also included in the tutorial hand-out.
