The 10th International Work-Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (IWANN2009) (Biological Inspired Systems. Computational and Ambient Intelligence) will take place in Salamanca (Spain) in June 10-12th, 2009.

This biennial meeting seeks to provide a discussion forum for scientists, engineers, educators and students about the latest discoveries and realizations in the foundations, theory, models and applications of systems inspired on nature (neural networks, fuzzy logic and evolutionary systems) as well as in emerging areas related to the above items. As in previous editions, IWANN also aims to create a friendly environment that could lead to the establishment or to strengthen scientific collaborations and exchanges among attendees.  

During the present edition, the following satellite workshops will be organized:

IWANN was previously held in Granada (1991 and 2001), Sitges, Barcelona (1993), Torremolinos, Málaga (1995), Lanzarote, Canary Islands (1997), Alicante (1999), Menorca (2003), Vilanova i la Geltrú (2005), and San Sebastián (2007) with a growing number of participants from more than 20 countries and with high quality papers published by Springer-Verlag (LNCS 540, 686, 930, 1240, 1606-1607, 2084-2085, 3512 and 4507).

The proceedings will include all the presented communications to the conference (invited talks, tutorials, and oral and poster presentations). As in previous editions of IWANN, we are arranging the publication of the proceedings with Springer-Verlag on Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series, and the books will be available on-site. It is also foreseen the publication of an extended version of selected papers in a special issue of the Neurocomputing journal (Elsevier).

IWANN is included in the ranking of the best conferences established by the Computer Science Conference Ranking based on the "Estimated Impact of Conference (EIC)", concretely in position 55 among 620 considered (in the Artificial Intelligence field). Also IWANN papers are indexed by CiteSeer.IST, and by the organization Computing Research and Education Association (CORE).

Call for papers on pdf version.
