INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM on INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS AMSE-ISIS'97

September 11-13, 1997
Special Session on Neural Networks for Signal Processing
CALL FOR PAPERS
Signal processing problems, with their particular features and
challenges, have provided an important field of application for artificial neural networks (ANNs). The non-linear processing and classification capabilities of these networks, in fact, can be very useful in many DSP applications. However, to provide robust, efficient and reliable NN solutions to many real-world problems, new and original ideas should be found to overcome nowadays limitations.
This special session, organized within ISIS'97, wants to provide an
open forum for researchers in this field to present and discuss new and
promising results on the theory and application of artificial neural
networks for signal processing.
Papers are solicited for, but not limited to, the following topics:
Paradigms: artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, nonlinear signal processing, robust fitting, classification and learning, statistical properties of ANNs, complexity issues.
Application areas: speech processing, speech enhancement, space-time processing, adaptive filtering, channel equalization and predistortion, robotics, system identification and control, time series prediction, temporal pattern recognition.
Theories: generalization, design algorithms, optimization, learning, neural architectures for signal processing, dynamic recurrent neural networks, locally recurrent neural networks, IIR synapses neural networks, Time Delay Neural Networks, fast learning algorithms, on-line training algorithms, on-line clustering, and identification/rejection of outliers.
Implementations: parallel and distributed implementation, hardware design, other implementation technologies.
The International Symposium on Intelligent Systems will be held in Reggio Calabria (Italy) in the center of the Mediterranean sea, from September 11 to September 13, 1997. This 2+1/2 days interdisciplinary symposium aims to be an international forum for advanced studies in Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems and related intelligent technologies, with special concern for analysis and synthesis of systems which have to make decisions in an environment of uncertainty and imprecision.
This Conference follows up the series of International Symposia organized by AMSE in Istanbul (1988), Brighton (1989), Cetinje (1990), Warsaw (1991), Geneva (1992), London (1993), Lyon (1994), Brno (1995) and Leon (1996).

Symbolic vs. Subsymbolic System Intelligence.
CALL FOR PAPERS
This special session, organized within ISIS'97, wants to provide an open forum for researchers on the above subject.
The scenario is constituted by operational problems where general robust theories are available , but where some elements, such as free coefficients, consistent formalization of boundary conditions and so on, necessary for providing a complete solution are lacking.
Favourite test beds are non linear system identification and control systems. Formal theories in this field boast many results which actually constitute the building blocks of systems' symbolic intelligence. However, the emerging widespread use of near-empirical devices such as neural networks and fuzzy controllers denote the need for a companion subsymbolic intelligence for fully ruling complex dynamical systems.
Aim of the special session is to gather fresh and sharp ideas and methods - supported by theoretical considerations or numerical evidence - on topics like the following :
integrating formal knowledge with empirical praxis,
hybrid symbolic-connectionist devices,
deductive versus inductive inference in designing a control system,
learning accuracy in robust control systems,
subsymbolical boosting of control theory,
unifying semantics for hybrid systems.
