Special Issue of Neurocomputing on Neural Information Processing

[ pdf ]

International Conference on Neural Information Processing (ICONIP) is an established annual conference sponsored by Asia Pacific Neural Network Assembly (APNNA) dedicated to emerging and challenging topics on neural information processing.  The thirteenth of this series (ICONIP2006) will be held in Hong Kong during October 3-6, 2006.  ICONIP2006 will bring together researchers, scientists, educators, engineers, practitioners, and industrialists from the international communities in the field of neural networks.  The ICONIP2006 will address topics on neural network theory & models, computational neuroscience & cognitive science, hybrid systems & hardware, and neural network applications.  Our aim is to showcase the latest theories, methodologies, and techniques used in neural information processing research in a diverse field of relevant and interesting topics.  The conference will feature plenary speeches by renowned experts, regular sessions with broad coverage of recent developments, and some special sessions tailored to more popular yet specialized topics.  Highly selected oral and poster presentations of refereed papers will feature the latest research results.

Important Dates

Review Criteria for ICONIP2006 Papers

All paper submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers based on significance in contribution, novelty in methodology, technical quality in content, clarity in exposition, and relevance to conference topics.  Accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of ICONIP2006 to be published by Springer in multiple volumes of Lecture Notes in Computer Science.  For further information, please visit ICONIP2006 website: http://www.iconip2006.org.

Paper Resubmission for the Journal  

ICONIP2006 has teamed up with Neurocomputing, one of the distinguished journals on neural networks, for publishing a Special Issue on Neural Information Processing with about thirty papers.   All submitted papers regarding any aspects of neural networks will have opportunities for consideration for this special issue.  The papers must be original and must not be under consideration by any other journal for publication.  The selection will be carried out during the conference presentation stage as well as the review process.  Authors of presented papers at the conference with papers published in the ICONIP2006 proceedings are invited to submit extended papers with at least 30% additional materials.  The submitted papers will be further reviewed based on the practice of Neurocomputing.  The guest editors of the special issues will make decisions on submitted papers based on referees' comments and recommendations, as well as quality and presentation of the papers.  The authors’ instruction can be found at the journal site at http://ees.elsevier.com/neucom/.
