CALL FOR PAPERS
SIXTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON NEURAL NETWORKS (ISNN 2009)

May 26-29, 2009, Wuhan, China

************************************************

Second CALL FOR PAPERS-->> Deadline: 1 December 2008!!

************************************************

The Sixth International Symposium on Neural Networks (ISNN 2009) will be held in Wuhan, following the successes of previous events. Composed of three parts (Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang), Wuhan is the capital of Hubei Province in central China with a long history and rich heritages. During the warrior-states period (481-221 BC), Wuhan is a part in Chu Kingdom It began to prosper as a commercial town about two-thousand years ago, when it was called Yingwuzhou (Parrot beach). During the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD), the region became one of the most prosperous commercial centers along the Yangtze River. By the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-164 AD), Hankou was one of the four most famous cities in China. Today, Wuhan is an educational and industrial center and a hub of water and rail transportation in China.

 

ISNN 2009 aims to provide a high-level international forum for scientists, engineers, and educators to present the state of the art of neural network research and applications in related fields. The symposium will feature plenary speeches given by world renowned scholars, regular sessions with broad coverage, and special sessions focusing on popular topics.

 

All submitted papers will be refereed by experts in the field based on the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and clarity. The authors of accepted papers will have an opportunity to revise their papers and take consideration of the referees' comments and suggestions. Papers presented at ISNN2009 will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and will be indexed by EI Compendex. Some selected top papers will be included in special issues of several SCI-indexed journals. Up to now, six journals have approved to publish special issues for ISNN2009:

    Neurocomputing,

    Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Artificial Intelligence,

    International Journal of Modelling, Identification and Control,

    International Journal of Systems, Control and Communications,

    International Journal of Advanced Mechatronic Systems,

    International Journal of Software Science and Computational Intelligence ,

 

Authors are also invited to submit papers for five special sessions listed in our website, which will be peer-reviewed with the same criteria used for the contributed papers.
