                        *****  CALL FOR PAPERS *****

                          1998 IEEE WORLD CONGRESS
                       ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

                        *****  CALL FOR PAPERS *****

        IJCNN'98                FUZZ-IEEE'98              ICEC'98
    International Joint         International      International Conference
        Conference               Conference            on Evolutionary
    on Neural Networks        on Fuzzy Systems           Computation 

   The three most important meetings in computational intelligence
will be held at the same time and at the same place once again.
       This time the computational intelligence world is coming to ...

                              Anchorage, Alaska
                               May 4-9, 1998

Anchorage, while one of Alaska's youngest cities has rapidly developed
into the hub of Alaska's commerce and industry. As Alaska's largest
city, over 70 percent of the state's populations live within 300
miles.  The most unusual tourist attraction in Anchorage is the
135-acre Earthquake Park, an untampered testimonial to the devastating
1964 shake.  Anchorage is bordered by the 5,000 to 8,000 Chugach
Mountains on the east and the Cook Inlet on the west and north.
Farther west are the towering peaks and active volcanos of the Alaska
range.  On the horizon, some 200 miles to the north, is the
magnificent Mt. McKinley - North America's highest peak.  WCCI'98
attendees are guaranteed to be amazed not only by the technical
program but also by the great natural attractions of Anchorage.
