Bristol, United Kingdom - Hybrid event
6 - 9 September 2022
=============================================================
The International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN)
is the annual
flagship conference of the European Neural Network Society (ENNS).
In 2022 the
Department of Computer Science and Creative Technologies of the
University of
the West of England, in Bristol, United Kingdom will organise
ICANN 2022.
This will be held at Frenchay Campus from 6 to 9 September 2022.
The conference is currently planned as a hybrid event with
some presence and
some online participation if possible. We will continuously
monitor the situation
in the next few months according to the overall health
developments.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
ICANN 2022 is a conference featuring tracks in Brain-inspired
Computing and
Machine Learning in Artificial Neural Networks, with strong

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, Ethics of AI.
Brain-inspired Computing: Cognitive models, Computational
Neuroscience,
Self-organisation, Bioinspired Learning, Neural Control and
Planning, Hybrid
Neural-Symbolic Architectures, Neural Dynamics, Cognitive
Neuroscience, Brain
Informatics, Perception and Action.
Neural Applications for: Bioinformatics, Biomedicine,
Intelligent Robotics,

Sensor Fusion,
Pattern Recognition, Data Mining, Neural Agents, Brain-Computer
Interaction,
Neural Hardware, Evolutionary Neural Networks.
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATIONS
All scientific communications presented at ICANN 2022 will be
reviewed and
scientifically evaluated by a panel of experts. The conference
will feature two
categories of communications:
- oral communications (15'+5')
- poster communications.
Call for Special Sessions and Workshops
ICANN 2022 organizers cordially invite internationally recognised
experts to
organise Special sessions and Workshops within the general scope
of the
conference. Proposals should be sent to ICANN2022@uwe.ac.uk
CALL FOR PAPERS
Authors willing to present original contributions in either the
oral or poster
category may submit:
- A full paper of maximum 12 pages (including references) to be
published in
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
with individual
DOI.
- An extended abstract of maximum 4 pages to be published in
Springer-Verlag
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, without indexing.
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 selection
will be based on the coherence of the programme and is totally
independent of
the category of submission.
Submission of communications will be on the conference website:
https://e-nns.org/icann2022/
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for special session and workshop proposals: 28 Feb 2022
Opening of contribution submissions: 21 Feb 2022
Deadline for full paper and extended abstract submission: 13 Apr
2022
Notification of acceptance: 20 Jun 2022
Camera-ready paper upload: 30 June 2022
Deadline for author registration and early registration at early
rate: 30 June 2022
BEST PAPER AWARDS
ENNS will sponsor a maximum of four best paper awards. All awards
will be
presented during the final ceremony.
TRAVEL GRANTS
The European Neural Network Society sponsors a number of Student
Travel Grants
covering part of the costs for attending ICANN. Details will be
provided on the
conference website.
