First Call for Papers

INTERNATIONAL IEEE JOINT SYMPOSIA on INTELLIGENCE and SYSTEMS
May 25-27,1998
Washington DC Area

Sponsored by :
     IEEE Computer Society
In Cooperation with :
     IEEE CS TAI Conference; AAAI Society; AAAS NN Society; IAPR Society;
     ACM Society; BU-CIS Center, UCrete.

SCOPE OF SYMPOSIA: The joint Symposia on Intelligence and Systems offer
theoretical and practical media for the constructive interaction among
scientists and practitioners from different research fields (computers,
mathematics, physics, biology, medicine, chemistry, engineering, etc) having
goals the development of methodologies and tools for the solution of complex
problems in neuroscience and biology, automation and robotics, image, speech
and natural languages, and their integration. Tours at NIST, NIH & others
research places will be available.
