CALL FOR PAPERS, CNS*2005:
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: February 1, 2005 midnight
NOTE: New submission procedure this year
Fourteenth Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting CNS*2005
July 17 - July 21, 2005
Madison, Wisconsin, USA
www.cnsorg.org
CNS*2005 will be held in Madison Wisconsin from Saturday, July 17 to
Wednesday, July 21, 2005. The main meeting will be July 17-19 followed by two
days of workshops on July 20 and 21.
Submissions can include experimental, model-based, as well as more abstract
theoretical approaches to understanding neurobiological computation. We
especially encourage research that mixes experimental and theoretical studies.
We also accept papers that describe new technical approaches to theoretical
and experimental issues in computational neuroscience or relevant software
packages.
INVITED SPEAKERS:
Michael Hasselmo (Boston University)
Lucia Jacobs (UC Berkeley)
Gyorgy Buszaki (Rutgers University)
Submissions to the meeting will take the form of a 3-page summary describing
the nature and scope of the work, and outlining the main results. Details
regarding formatting of submissions will be posted at www.cnsorg.org. These
summaries will be reviewed by the program committee and used determine
acceptance for presentation at the meeting as well as to construct the oral
program. Authors will also be asked to submit a standard abstract for
printing in the program book. All submissions will be acknowledged by email.
THE REVIEW PROCESS
Summaries will be judged and accepted for the meeting based on the clarity
with which the work is described and the biological relevance of the research.
For this reason authors should be careful to make the connection to biology
clear. CNS strongly believes in the open exchange of ideas and we reject only
a small fraction of submissions (~5%). Rejections are usually based on
absence of biological relevance (e.g. pure machine learning). We will notify
authors of meeting acceptance by April 1.
All acceptable summaries will be reviewed by two independent referees, and the
oral program of the meeting will constructed based on these reviews. Most
oral presentations will be 20 minutes in length, but several papers will be
selected for longer ‘featured oral’ presentations. In addition to perceived
quality as an oral presentation, the novelty of the research and the diversity
and coherence of the overall program will be considered. To ensure diversity,
those who have given talks in the recent past will not be selected and
multiple oral presentations from the same lab will be discouraged. All
accepted papers not selected for oral talks may be presented during evening
poster sessions. Authors will be notified of the presentation format of their
papers by the end of April.
PROCEEDINGS AND PUBLICATION
In the past, the proceedings of the meeting were published as a special
supplement to the journal Neurocomputing. The same review process was used to
determine the program acceptance in the journal. This year, the proceedings
of the meeting will take the form of electronic publication of all 3-page
summaries of work presented at the meeting. A separate review process will be
used for those electing for post-meeting journal publication.
Authors wishing to submit their work for peer-reviewed publication in
Neurocomputing will be required to submit complete 6-page papers by May 2nd.
Manuscripts will be reviewed according to the usual standards for journal
publication. Authors will notification of submission status (accept, reject,
revise) and receive reviewer comments by the end of June, several weeks before
the meeting. Authors will then have until September 15 to submit revised
manuscripts. Final notification of acceptance based on these revisions will
be sent by October 15. Detailed instructions to authors will be posted at
www.cnsorg.org.
