Well over 200 papers have been submitted in the four targeted areas of Artificial Intelligence, Fuzzy Systems, Neural Networks and Virtual Reality. It is a multi-disciplinary meeting that will bring together engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists and psychologists. The main conference, 1-3 December 1993, includes three keynote addresses by distinguished visitors from the USA and UK. 108 papers will be presented orally and 68 in poster format by Australian and New Zealand as well as overseas delegates. The papers have been selected after review by at least two Australian and one overseas referees. The topics include fundamental research and applications in the areas of image processing, robotics, control, biomedicine, virtual reality, wavelet transforms, genetic algorithms, speech processing and hybrid systems. Four pre-conference tutorials have been arranged for Tuesday 30 November 1993. Keynote Speakers ================ Professor George Lendaris is Professor of Systems Science at the Portland State University. He has served in a number of government technical advisory committees and has frequently acted as a consultant to industry. He was recently the General Chairman of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks held in Portland, July 1993. His interest lies in developing methodology for assisting teams of people to carry out systems design engineering, analysis of social and human systems, models for complex systems, structure and modelling, artificial intelligence and neural networks with application to conceptual graph knowledge systems. Professor Robert Stone is Visiting Professor of Virtual Reality at the University of Salford. He is also the Technical Manager of the UK's National Advanced Robotics Research Centre in Salford, with further responsibility for the Centre's Human Factors, Virtual Reality and Telepresence programmes. Professor Stone is a Registered Practitioner of the UK Ergonomics Society and a Chartered Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. He is a member of the Editorial Boards of journals including Virtual Reality Systems, Displays and Presence. He received the UK Ergonomics Society's 1993 Otto Edholm Award for his work on Virtual Reality. Professor Jacek Zurada is the Director of the S. T. Fife VLSI Circuit Design Laboratory at the University of Louisville, Kentucky USA. His specialisation is microelectronic analog and digital circuits for signal processing and neural networks. He is the author of a successful ANN textbook: Introduction to Artificial Neural Systems and co-author of Active RC Filters. Dr Zurada served as Chairman of the CAS Neural Systems and Applications Committee and is now Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and the Artificial Neural Networks Journal. He has received a number of awards and distinctions including IEEE Outstanding Electronic Engineer. Tutorial Sessions ================= Four different tutorials will be held on Tuesday 30 November. These will be repeated in the afternoon to allow delegates to attend two tutorial sessions. Please indicate your preference for a.m. or p.m. in your registration form. There is a limited number of tutorial places so please book early. T-1 Virtual Reality Presented by: Professor Robert Stone This tutorial will start by reviewing the history of VR with its successes and failures, hype and fact, then will concentrate on how the VR technologies - headsets, gloves, other forms of peripherals, graphics hardware and software - have evolved from the 1980's to meet the applications demanded by users over the next decade. Where will VR find its way into the technical practices of companies? Are there any commercial benefits to adopting VR as opposed to the more industry-accepted "desktop" or workstation implementations? What kinds of VR data exchange and interface standards are emerging and is it too early for standardisation? These and other issues will be discussed during the tutorial presentation. T-2 Learning Algorithms Presented by: Professor Jacek Zurada Learning is a fundamental property of networks acquiring computational intelligence. In ANN learning takes the form of approximation of relationships from data or the form of encoding desired equilibria. This tutorial reviews the basic concepts of supervised and unsupervised learning of most important ANN architectures. The tutorial stresses the visualization of learning in both pattern and weight space. It demonstrates links between various methods of network adaptation schemes. The material presented is addressed to persons interested in pursuing independent research/study/ANN modelling who are also seeking understanding of concepts underlying computational properties of ANN. T-3 Neural Networks and Expert Systems Presented by: Professor George Lendaris After defining the fundamental ideas and terminologies used in ANN and symbolic AI with respect to expert systems, this tutorial will discuss the ease or difficulty of implementing the following properties in ANNs: reasoning by forward chaining and backward chaining, issues of declarative/procedural knowledge and distributed representation, ability to provide explanations, information acquisition for expert systems, extraction of rules, noise and probabilistic considerations. Examples include If-Then rules implemented via Fuzzy Logic and how ANNs can assist in gathering data to formulate and refine such fuzzy rules. T-4 Wavelet Transforms and Applications Presented by: Professor Thong Nguyen This tutorial will introduce and explain wavelet transform theory including short-term Fourier Transforms, definitions and characteristics of popular wavelets, frame of discrete wavelets, graphical derivation of wavelet analysis, multiresolution signal analysis using wavelet transforms, Mallat's recursive algorithm, bi-orthogonal wavelet bases, Daubechies' wavelet design procedure and applications in multiresolution video coding, fractal analysis and other signal processing.
