What is the goal of sensory coding?  What algorithms help the brain to
achieve that goal?  What is the information content of spiking in
neurons?  Where is the trade-off between redundancy and decorrelation?
How do internal representations reflect the statistics of sensory
input?  How is input from different modalities combined?

These are the kind of issues to be discussed.  The main thrust of the
workshop is in furthering our understanding of what is happening in
the brain, but with an eye also to possible applications of such
algorithms.

Workshop on the Parallel Implementations of Neural Networks.

Email: D.Tsaptsinos@lpac.ac.uk.
Objectives

The popularity of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is
increasing rapidly, as demonstrated by the escalating use in
more and more diverse application areas.

As ANN implementation moves towards more complex application
areas, larger networks using larger sets of traing data are
required, which results in slow training. Clearly there is a
demand for faster training.

The objective of the workshop is to highlight the speakers'
experiences in going `parallel' in order to achieve a speed-up
in learning and to show the benefits and problems in doing so.

First Australian Workshop on Distributed Artificial Intelligence.

Email: ai95dai@turing.une.edu.au.

Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) is the study of the  design  and  
implementation of agents that can make decisions on their own or in interaction 
with other agents. Agents act autonomously and  rationally  in time-constrained,
open, multi-agent environments. The aim of this workshop is to bring together  
researchers interested  in  the  micro and macro aspects  of this emerging 
technology.  The workshop will address the issues of: agent specification via 
agent theories, modelling of agents, decisions in multi-agent environments, 
development of coordination strategies, negotiation mechanisms, conflict 
detection and resolution strategies, communication protocols, and mechanisms 
whereby agents can maintain autonomy while still contributing to overall system 
effectiveness. The workshop will explore agent architectures, methodologies for 
realising agents, agent decision-making theories, inter-agent communication and 
natural language discourse, software tools for  programming  and experimenting  
with  agents.
