*************************************************
INTRODUCTION
The science of neural computation focusses on mathematical aspects to
solve
complex practical problems, and it also seeks to help neurology, brain
theory and cognitive psychology in the understanding of the functioning
of
the nervous system by means of computational models of neurons, neural
nets
and subcellular processes. NC'2000 aims to become a major point of
contact
for research scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the
world in
the field of Neural Computation. Participants will share the latest
research, developments and ideas in the wide arena of disciplines
encompassed under the heading of NC'2000 as a follow-up of the most
successful NC'98 conference in Vienna, Austria.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
NC'2000 will include invited plenary talks, contributed sessions,
invited
sessions, workhops and tutorials.
*************************************************
INVITED SESSIONS
The organization of invited sessions is encouraged. Prospective
organizers
are requested to send a session proposal (consisting of 4-5 invited
papers,
the recommended session-chair and co-chair, as well as a short statement
describing the title and the purpose of the session to the Symposium
Chairman or the Symposium Organizer. Invited sessions should preferably
start with a tutorial paper. The registration fee of the session
organizer
will be waived, if at least 4 authors of invited papers register to the
conference.
*************************************************
POSTER PRESENTATIONS
Poster presentations are encouraged for people who wish to receive peer
feedback and practical examples of applied research are particularly
welcome. Poster sessions will allow the presentation and discussion of
respective papers, which will also be included in the conference
proceedings.
*************************************************

THE FASCINATING CITY OF BERLIN
The old and new capital of Germany is a mecca for scientists and
cultural
enthusiasts, for day workers and night owls. Charming with its several
opera
houses, concert halls, cabarets, and beer gardens, Berlin is full of
spontaneous cultural events or happenings. As an urban building site for
the
future, it is at the same time a living contradiction and a casual place
with relaxation areas and large parks right in the city center. The fine
nature, pine tree forests, and 1001 lakes around the city supply
Berlin
with its very specific sparkling air in spring time. No other city in
Germany has during the last 100 years played such a prominent role in
history and in the imagination of the people social and industrial
revolution, world war I and later manifestation of the first German
republic, the 'Golden Twenties', nazis dictatorship and world war II,
splitting by the Berlin Wall, 'economic miracle' in the west and
socialistic
showpiece city in the east, '68 student and alternative lifestyle
movement
in the west and peace movement in the east, and finally, the fall of the
Wall. Berlin tempts with its many research facilities, and it is
Germany's
largest industrial city with headquarters or dependences of most major
companies. At present, approximately 3.5 million inhabitants live in the
reunified city, among which more than 120.000 students, who study in
three
universities and twelve colleges or schools of arts.
Berlin ist eine Reise wert.
Welcome!
