			NEURAL NETS IN ACTION

Dear Colleague,
We invite you to participate in the Neural Nets in Action session on the final
 day of the 4th Australian Conference on Neural Networks (ACNN-93) hosted by 
the University of Melbourne, Monday 1st February to Wednesday, 3rd February 
1993. This is the national meeting in natural and artificial neural networks 
attended by participants from academia and industry. This year, the meeting is 
being held in conjunction with the 2nd Australian Cognitive Science Conference
 (CogSci-93) and 13th Annual Meeting of the Australian Neuroscience Society. 
The Neural Nets in Action displays are open to all delegates to the above
 mentioned three conferences and the general public. We anticipate that these 
sessions will provide a focus for media attention in the reporting of our 
conference.

Aim. 	The Neural Nets in Action sessions are outside the academic program 
of the meeting and incorporate displays from vendors, industrial practitioners 
developers, academic researchers and students. The applications considered 
range from operator guidance in continuous steelmaking, voice activated 
information systems, banking applications to a game of backgammon. 

	We intend to demonstrate the practical use of Neural Networks as an 
emerging technology and communicate this message to potential users in 
industry, business community and the general public. It is also intended to 
create a forum where one can see practically what can and what cannot be done,
 where application "providers" can contact potential problems "solvers".

Venue. 	The meeting will be held in the School of Architecture, The University
 of Melbourne. Displays will be held in a number of attractive rooms. 

Form. 	1. Computer demonstration.
	2. Video.
	3. Poster (display).
	4. If you have other ideas please tell us and we will try tnd.edu> o 
	   accommodate them.

Cost: 	modest, charged according to the requirements for power, display
 facilities, naming rights, space.

Participants: 	Only a limited number of display spots is available, so be
quick in responding if you wish to participate. The list of tentative and 
confirmed displays up to date includes:
	University of Melbourne, Telecom, DSTO-Australia, BHP, Swinburne 
	University of Technology, Unitronix, Network Microsystems, 
	University of Queensland, National Australia Bank.
