Paper submission deadline is January 29, 2003. Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the journal Neural Networks, in addition to publication of all papers in the conference proceedings.
The IJCNN meeting is organized annually by the International Neural Network Society (INNS) and the IEEE Neural Networks Society. Conference attendees who are INNS or IEEE Neural Networks Society members, or who join one of these societies now will receive a reduced IJCNN conference registration fee, and those who are INNS members will receive the IJCNN special issue for free as part of their annual membership subscription to Neural Networks.
