GENERAL CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EURO-PAR'96
Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon, France
August 27-29, 1996
Euro-Par is THE European conference on parallel processing. It is the
merging of CONPAR-VAPP and PARLE, which were already two major events
in the field. The goal of Euro-Par'96 is to gather people interested in
any aspects of parallel computing and architectures.
Euro-Par'96 is split into workshops which focus on specific domains.
Each workshop is chaired by a major leading researcher in the field.
You are thereby ensured to have the best opportunity to meet colleagues
and to discuss on-going science. Furthermore, there are invited talks
to hear about hot topics, and, since many workshops run concurrently,
you can meet a large spectrum of people and broaden your expertise.
Workshops duration will be between 1/2 day up to 2 days depending on
the number of selected papers.
All the accepted papers will be published in the collection Lecture
Notes in Computer Science by Springer-Verlag. The proceedings of
Euro-Par'96 will contain full papers (12 pages), short papers (8
pages), and poster papers (4 pages).

Euro-Par is THE annual European conference in Parallel Processing. It merges
the former PARLE and CONPAR-VAPP conferences, two major events of the field.
The 1996 version will consist of a large panel of highly focused workshops on
all aspects of parallel processing, from theory to practice, from academy to
industry. They are expected to present the latest advances in their respective
domains. They will be introduced by several high level tutorials of general
interest. More than 20 workshops have been launched in parallel, ranging from
1/2 to 2 days. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by
Springer-Verlag in the LNCS Series.
Workshop #16:
Neural Networks
The research on neural networks covers a wide range of disciplines, from
biology to parallel hardware implementations, but is not yet mature: it
includesmany new interesting methods and algorithms for recognition,
classification, control and other various tasks, but also many rediscoveries
of methods know in other domains of science, and also inventions with little
practical or application value. While not restricted to these specific areas
workshop will emphasize on the relations between artificial neural networks
and other domains such as multidimensional statistics, signal and information
processing, ..., and on the real applications of neural networks actually
implanted and in use in industries or services.
Topics of interest include:
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) Links between ANNs and statistics
Links between ANNs and signal processing Information processing through ANNs
Industrial applications of ANNs Parallel Algorithms & Implementations for NNs
Further information is available at URL http://www.ens-lyon.fr/LIP/europar96.
It includes the list of all workshops. Please send all information requests
and comments to europar96 at lip.ens-lyon.fr. Register today on the Euro-Par'96
mailing list by sending us a mail! See below for additional information.

Additional information for Workshop #16
Neural Networks
Submissions are expected to be no longer than 15 pages. The cover page must
clearly indicate the name, address, affiliation, phone and fax numbers and
electronic address of the author(s), plus a 100-word abstract. The workshop
number (16) and the workshop title related to each submitted paper must also
be clearly indicated on the cover page. The official languages of the
conference are English and French. Submitted papers must not be simultaneously
under review for any other conference, and authors must point out any
substantial overlap with their previously published work.
Electronic submissions are most strongly encouraged. They are mandatory
for all people having access to standard electronic facilities.
They should consist of two e-mails:
.. The first one containing an ASCII cover page, giving the author's full name,
address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, a 100-word abstract and
keywords.
.. The second one with the printable file, most preferably in attachment.
Accepted formats are uuencoded compressed EPSF PostScript files (most
preferably generated by dvips). We are sorry not to be able to accommodate
other file formats. If at all possible, please attempt to print the document
on more than one brand/model of laser printers. If your program requests it,
assume that the document will be printed on a 300 DPI standard PostScript Unix
Sun laser printer. We will do our best to get all files printed. If a file
cannot be printed in spite of all our efforts, we will have to reject the
electronic submission. In case of doubt, send us a (possibly preliminary)
paper version of the submission before the February 4, 1996 paper deadline
(one copy is enough in this case). We will consider that the electronic
version of the submission, if printable, is the final one.
The files should be mailed to europar96 at lip.ens-lyon.fr and received at this
address before February 18, 1996, 12:00 GMT. Please note that this is a firm
deadline.
Paper submissions are only allowed for people without easy access to standard
electronic facilities. Authors should send 6 copies of their submission to the
official address below, postmarked before February 4, 1996. Please note that
this is a firm deadline.
Proceedings. All accepted papers will be published by SPRINGER-VERLAG in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series. Proceedings will be available at the
conference. Papers will be published in 3 lengths: full papers (12 pages),
short papers (8 pages), poster papers (4 pages).
Register on the mailing list: Today!
Deadline for paper submissions: February 4, 1996
Deadline for electronic submissions: February 18, 1996
