 28th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks
 http://icann2019.org
 Munich, Germany
 17 - 19 September 2019
 Special event: BIGCHEM (http://bigchem.eu) final meeting
 ============================================================
 The International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN) is the annual
 flagship conference of the European Neural Network Society (ENNS).
 In 2019 the Helmholtz Zentrum Muenchen - German Research Center for
 Environmental Health GmbH (HMGU) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM)
 together with the "Big Data in Chemistry" Marie Skodowska-Curie
 Innovative Training Network European Industrial Doctorate project (BIGCHEM)
 organize the 28th ICANN Conference from the 17th to the 19th of September 2019
 in Munich, Germany.
 CONFERENCE TOPICS
 ICANN 2019 is a dual-track conference featuring tracks in Brain Inspired
 Computing and Machine Learning and Artificial Neural Networks, with strong
 cross-disciplinary interactions and applications. All research fields dealing
 with Neural Networks will be present at the conference. A non-exhaustive list of
 topics includes:
 Machine Learning:  Deep Learning, Neural Network Theory, Neural Network Models,
 Graphical Models, Bayesian Networks, Kernel Methods, Generative Models,
 Information Theoretic Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Relational Learning,
 Dynamical Models Recurrent Networks.
 Brain Inspired Computing: Cognitive models, Computational Neuroscience,
 Self-organisation, Reinforcement Learning, Neural Control and Planning, Hybrid
 Neural-Symbolic Architectures, Neural Dynamics.
 Neural Applications for: Bioinformatics, Biomedicine, Intelligent Robotics,
 Neurorobotics, Language Processing, Image Processing, Sensor Fusion, Pattern
 Recognition, Data Mining, Neural Agents, Brain-Computer Interaction, Neural
 Hardware, Evolutionary Neural Networks.
 Special session (BIGCHEM): Big Data analysis in chemistry, chemoinformatics, use
 of deep learning to predict molecular properties, drug-discovery, modelling and
 prediction of chemical reaction data, synthetic route prediction, structure
 generation, molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemistry.
 Special sessions: Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, Informed and Explainable
 Methods for Machine Learning, Deep Learning in Image Reconstruction, Machine
 Learning with Graphs: Algorithms and Applications.
 Workshops: 1st International Workshop on Reservoir Computing (RC 2019)
 CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATIONS
 All scientific communications presented at ICANN 2019 will be reviewed and
 scientifically evaluated by a panel of experts. The conference will feature
 three categories of communications:
 - oral communications (15'+5')
 - poster communications
 - demonstrations
 Call for Papers:
 Authors willing to present original contributions in either oral or poster
 category may submit:
 - a proceedings paper manuscript of about 10 - 12 pages to be published in
 Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series with individual
 DOI
 - extended abstracts of a maximum length of 4 pages to be published in
 Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
 The number of oral slots is limited.  In case the number of requested oral
 presentations is larger than the available slots the ICANN scientific committee
 will select which papers will be reassigned to a poster session.  This
 selections will be based on the coherence of the programme and is totally
 independent of the category of submission.
 Submission of communications will be online. More details will be made available
 soon on the conference website: http://icann2019.org

 BEST PAPER AWARDS
 ENNS will sponsor a maximum of four best paper awards, two in the Brain Inspired
 Computing track (one poster and one oral communication) and, analogously,  two
 in the Machine Learning Research track. All awardees will be presented during
 the final ceremony.
 TRAVEL GRANTS
