   An ISNN2006 special issue was published at the International Journal of Neural Systems (volume 17, issue 6) in December 2007.   

    The ISNN2006 proceedings (LNCS vols. 3971, 3972, 3973) are now available online.

Sightseeing Tour Information

    Young volunteers in green T-shirt as shown below will be available at the Chengdu Shuangliu Airport (May 28, 11am-11 pm) and at the ISNN2006 venue (throughout the symposium) to help participants.

Oral sessions:
    Each oral session room is equipped with an LCD projector, a notebook computer (Windows 2000/XP with Adobe Reader, Ghostview, and PowerPoint). Authors only need to bring soft copy (e.g., PowerPoint or pdf file) in flash memory (USB disk) or CD ROM.

    Bulletin boards with posting area of 120cm (height) x 90cm (width) for each poster. A0-size posters are recommended. For the authors using LaTeX, a sample poster template can be downloaded here.

    The responses to our Call for Papers are overwhelming. By submission deadline, we have received about 2500 submissions from authors in 43 countries/regions across six continents.


    ISNN2006 has teamed up with the International Journal of Neural Systems (IJNS), one of the distinguished journals on neural networks, for publishing a Special Issue on Advances in Neural Networks. All submitted papers will have opportunities for consideration for this Special Issue. The selection will be carried out during the review process as well as at the conference presentation stage. The Editor-in-Chief of IJNS and the guest editors of the Special Issues will make decisions on submitted papers based referees' comments and recommendations, as well as quality and presentation of the papers, and select around twenty five papers. Authors of selected outstanding papers will be asked to substantially extend and revise their papers with additional original materials for further rounds of peer review under the practice of IJNS. These papers must be extended and updated in a significant and substantive way so that the amount of overlap between conference paper and journal submission is no more than 50%. Contributions from outside of this conference, in the scopes of this special issue, are also encouraged. Prospective authors should submit their manuscripts directly to the guest editors before the deadline with a copy to the Editor-in-Chief. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication. The final decision will be made based on peer review reports by the guest editors and the Editor-in-Chief jointly.
