Dear Colleagues

This is the ICANN 2008 2nd Call for papers and special session proposals.

The 18th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, ICANN
2008, will be held on September 3-6 at the Diplomat hotel, Prague, Czech
Republic.

ICANN - International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks is an
annual conference organized since 1998 by the ENNS - European Neural
Network Society in co-operation with the International Neural Network
