ISNN 2011 - 2011 International Symposium on Neural Networks

The 8th International Symposium on Neural Networks (ISNN 2011) will be held in Guilin,
China, as a sequel of ISNN 2004?2010. Guilin has a long history as the most beautiful
place in China. It is famous for its wonderful scenery, rivers and karst peaks covered
in lush greenery. ISNN 2011 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 lectures given by
world renowned scholars, regular sessions with broad coverage, and some special
sessions focusing on popular topics. All papers accepted by and presented at ISNN2011
will be published by Springer as multiple volumes of Lecture Notes in Computer Science
which will be indexed by EI and ISTP. Selected papers will be published in special
issues of several SCI journals.
