           Special Issue of IEEE Computer

          Tentative Publication Date: March 1996

           Neural Computing: Theory & Practice


Articial neural networks (ANN) have become a technical folk
legend of late. The market is flooded with software/hardware
products. While the development of ANN theory and software
design are in progress, there are some other new research areas
which grew up based on the realization that effectiveness of
ANN based models and systems can be improved by integrating
its merits with those of other emerging theories/ technologies
such as Fuzzy Logic and Genetic algorithms.  The purpose
of this theme issue is to increase the awareness of computing
community about the applicability and cost-effectiveness of
neural computing, and to demonstrate the current state-of-the-
art in the theory and practice of neural modeling in solving real
life problems from various application domains as well as to
generate new ideas. Specific areas of interest include (but are
not limited to):


   o  Applications and Case Studies in Neural Modeling.

   o  New Hardware and Software.

   o  Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, Control Applications.

   o  Vision, Speech, Neurobiology Applications.

   o  OOP in Modeling and Simulating ANN.

   o  Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Based Systems.

   o  NN Approaches to Performance Modeling and Analysis.

   o  Soft Computing.

   o  Experience Reports - Success and Failure Stories.


Papers should emphasize results that can be potentially applied
in "real world" applications; they should include evaluations
through either experimentation, simulation, analysis and/or 
experience. Papers must be written in IEEE Computer style to be
meant for a general audience not necessarily with expertise in
neural computing. Please submit ten copies of your manuscript
to either of the guest editors by May 30, 1995:

Instructions for submitting papers: Manuscripts must not
have been previously published or currently submitted for pub-
lication elsewhere.  Each manuscript should be no more than
6000 words long - including all text, references (limited to 12),
and illustrations (counting each figure or table as 250 words).
Each copy of the manuscript should include a title page 
containing title, authors' names and affliations, postal and email
addresses, telephone numbers and Fax numbers, a 150 - word
abstract and a list of keywords identifying the central issues of
the manuscript's contents. [Note: If you are willing to referee
papers for this special issue, please send a note with research
interest to Professor Pal or Professor Srimani.]
