The VIII Brazilian
Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, SBRN 2004,
will be held from September 29th to October 1st in São Luis, Maranhão,
Brazil. São Luís
(http://www.turismo.ma.gov.br/en/index.html) is an island located on the
Northeast of Brazil, where one can find the Historical Trajectory of Portuguese/French
colonization nearby very unique natural lakes left by rain on fine and
sunny dunes.
This event celebrates
the 10th anniversary of the SBRN, an event dedicated to present research
on Neural Networks (NNs) and related approaches. The SBRN 2004 is sponsored
by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and co-sponsored by SIG/INNS/Brazil
Special Interest Group of the International Neural Networks Society in
Brazil
SBRN'2004 will be
held with the XVII Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence - SBIA
(http://www.sbc.org.br/sbia) and the IEEE Workshop on Machine Learning
for Signal Processing 2004 MLSP 2004 (http://isp.imm.dtu.dk/mlsp2004/cfp.pdf).
The events will feature keynote speeches and tutorials by world-leading
researchers. Additionally, simultaneously to the SBRN 2004, the I Brazilian
Workshop on Evolutionary Computation - BEC (http://www.sbrn.elo.com.br/Workshops.html)
will be held.
The SBRN 2004 will
have two volumes of the proceedings. The first one will publish the papers
written in Portuguese and Spanish. The second volume will be published
by the IEEE Computer Society Press, and it will include the papers written
in English. The authors of the best ranked papers will be invited to submit
an extended version of each paper for
publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Neural
Systems.
Hope to meet you
there!
