Third International Symposium on Neural Networks

May 29-31, 2006, Chengdu, Sichuan, China

    The Third International Symposium on Neural Networks (ISNN 2006) will be held in Chengdu, as a sequel of ISNN 2005 in Chongqing
and ISNN 2004 in Dalian, China. Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan (Szechwan) Province in southwestern China, a modern metropolitan
with 2310-year history and rich cultural heritage, featuring relaxing lifestyle, spicy Szechwan cuisine, and numerous historic and
scenery sites nearby including three UNESCO World Heritages (two cultural heritages: Dujiangyan--Qingcheng Mountain, Emei
Mountain--Leshan Giant Buddha, one natural heritage: Jiuzhaigou--Huanglong).
ISNN 2006 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 diverse fields. The symposium will feature plenary speeches given by worldwide
renowned scholars, regular sessions with broad coverage, and some special sessions focusing on popular topics.
    Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers (6 pages normally and 10 pages maximum) by the submission deadline.
Potential organizers are also invited to enlist five or more papers with cohesive topics to form special sessions. The submission of
a paper implies that the paper is original and has not been submitted under review or copyright protected elsewhere and will be
presented by an author if accepted. 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. All papers accepted and presented at ISNN2006 will be published by
Springer as multiple volumes of Lecture Notes in Computer Science which are indexed by SCI-Expanded.
    ISNN2006 has teamed up with the International Journal of Neural Systems (IJNS), one of the distinguished journals on neural
networks, for publishing a Special Issue on Advances in Neural Networks. All submitted papers will have opportunities for
consideration for this Special Issue. The selection will be carried out during the review process as well as at the conference
presentation stage. The Editor-in-Chief of IJNS and the guest editors of the Special Issues will make decisions on submitted papers
based referees'
comments and recommendations, as well as quality and presentation of the papers, and select around twenty five papers. Authors of
selected outstanding papers will be asked to substantially extend and revise their papers with additional original materials for
further rounds of peer review under the practice of IJNS. These papers must be extended and updated in a significant and substantive
way so that the amount of overlap between symposium paper and journal submission is no more than 50%. Prospective authors should
submit their manuscripts directly to the guest editors before the deadline with a copy to the Editor-in-Chief. Submitted papers must
not be under consideration by any other journal for publication. The final decision will be made based on peer review reports by the
guest editors of the special issue and the Editor-in-Chief jointly.
