This conference, sponsored by the Israel Ministry of Science, aims
to bring together scientists and practitioners of neural computation
who are interested in scientific as well as technological
applications. It will focus on two main general topics:
A. The use of neural network techniques in various applications
in science and technology.
B. Modeling in computational neuroscience.
The conference will consist of a four day meeting that will include
tutorials, a series of invited and contributed talks, a poster session,
and a discussion panel. An informal atmosphere will be maintained,
encouraging questions and discussions. It will take place in a hotel
that serves also as a conference center in Kibbutz Maale Hachamisha,
located between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. It has the nice scenery,
and pleasant weather, of the Judean hills.
