The Third International Conference on Neural Networks and Artificial Intelligence (ICNNAI'2003)
November 12-14, Minsk, Belarus

Organized by:
Ministry of Education (Belarus)
Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics
Belarus SIG of INNS

In cooperation with:
International Neural Network Society
Brest State Technical University (Belarus)
United Institute of Informatics Problems of National Academy of Sciences of Belarus

The City of Minsk
Minsk is the capital of the Republic of Belarus. It is located in a picturesque place on the river Svisloch, which was in ancient
times one of the busiest trade-routes connecting the Baltic and the Black seas. Minsk is the city where one can find the best pieces
of Belarusian cultural heritage: museums and exhibitions, theaters, world famous Belarusian ballet, folklore dancing ensembles and
choirs. Numerous scientific centres and leading institutions of higher education, situated in Minsk, are well-known abroad for their
fundamental and applied researches. Minsk is a cross-road of the most popular European tours. It is connected by motorways, railways
and airlines with all the European capitals and also with the main cities of the world.
