    PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Wednesday, January 20, 2006


SCOPE and AIM:  

A realization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by Neural Networks (NN)
might sound somewhat of an old but will be an ever lasting research area.

This conference aims to provide a forum for discussion, debate and 
brainstorm among researchers interested in these two fields, in 
an interactive atmosphere. In the process, we expect collaboration among 
those with complementary ideas.

The conference will feature plenary talks by invited keynote speakers
(now under negotiation),invited sessions, and hopefully a panel discussion.

We solicit papers of the latest techniques and achievements
from experimental, computational, theoretical as well
as engineering aspect in all areas of Neural Networks and 
Artificial Intelligence.

We dare not to use a cliche --- "including but not limited to"

Here, let us show just a few examples

-  Brain-Inspired Information Technology;
-  Real Systems in Artificial Intelligence;
-  Learning and Memory;
-  Robotics ---  Sensory systems and Motor Controls; 
-  Robotics ---  Cognition, Emotion and Behavior;
-  Knowledge Extraction or Recovery in databases;
-  Artificial Life.

Or their fusion. Of course, the list is far from exhaustive nor exclusive, 
which are also cliche though.

The papers must be in English and should follow the guidelines
in the authors instructions which can be downloaded at

relevance and clarity of presentation (forgive me a cliche again)

Please notice that at least one of the authors of an accepted paper must
register for the conference and present the paper.

Submissions should be e-mailed to icnnai-2006@bstu.by
