Invited Sessions: 
Invited Sessions provide a forum for focused discussions on new topics and innovative applications of 
established approaches. A proposal for an invited session with the session title, the organizers, and a brief 
statement of purpose must be submitted to the Invited Session Chair by the deadline. Once approved the 
Invited Session Organizer will be responsible to solicit and/or invited speakers for the Session. 

Best Paper Competition: 
All submitted papers are invited to participate in the Best Paper and Best Student Paper Competitions. 
The best paper finalists will be invited to publish their papers in the International Journal of Information 
Acquisition or Neural Information Processing ? Letters and Reviews. 

Excursion Program: 
In the afternoon of July 11, all the registered attendees will visit cultural and/or natural tourist 
attraction(s) in Jeju Island. Other tourist packages in Jeju Island will also be available. 

Collocated Workshop: 
The 9th China-India-Japan-Korea Joint Workshop on Neurobiology and Neuroinformatics (NBNI 2007)
