About NEUREL
By following 22 years tradition of NEUREL symposia, the NEUREL 2014 will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, in November, 25-27, 2014. Belgrade is the capital of Serbia, and educational, scientific, historical, cultural, commercial, and industrial center of Serbia. Located at the place where the Sava River joins the blue Danube on its way to the Black sea, Belgrade is well-known as the famous entertainment center of the South-East Europe.
The NEUREL Symposia started in 1990, as biannual scientific meetings and they cover all aspects of artificial neural networks (NNs) and fuzzy systems, from their theoretical foundations to applications.
Main topics of NEUREL 2014 (but not strongly limited to) are:
| 1. Algorithms and models |
2. Realizations |
3. Applications |
| 1.1 Learning methods |
2.1 Feedforward networks |
3.1 Signal and image processing |
| 1.2 Cognitive modeling |
2.2 Recurrent neural networks |
3.2 Robotics and control systems |
| 1.3 Genetic algorithms |
2.3 Self-organizing networks |
3.3 Measurement and intelligent devices |
| 1.4 Deep and machine learning |
2.4 Cellular neural networks |
3.4 Data, text, multimedia mining |
| 1.5 Computational neuroscience |
2.5 Sensor networks |
3.5 Communications and multimedia |
| 1.6 Bayesian models |
2.6 Hybrid architectures |
3.6 Feature extraction and retrieval |
| 1.7 Fuzzy systems |
2.7 Fuzzy neural networks |
3.7 Pattern recognition and classification |
| 1.8 Bio-inspired systems |
2.8 Optoelectronic neural networks |
3.8 Bioinformatics |
| 1.9. Complex systems and chaos |
2.9 Implementations in mobile devices |
3.9 Time series forecasting |
| 1.10 Fractals and multifractals |
2.10 Brain-machine interfaces |
3.10 Power systems control |
The symposium also welcomes contributions in statistical learning algorithms, text-web analysis, biological and machine vision, and man-machine interfaces. Topics in speech, image and signal processing, classification, and process control, which are not strictly related to NNs, are of interest too.
The first NEUREL Seminar started in December 1990, as a result of enthusiastic work of several professors, particularly of our late professor Rajko Tomović (1919-2001), who recognized the power of neural networks in solving different complex problems without the need for special purpose algorithms. Just after this event, the Civil War in former Yugoslavia stopped many intellectual, cultural and scientific activities. Surprisingly, despite the disintegration of former Yugoslavia, NEUREL events survived: the second NEUREL was held in winter 1992/93 under an enormous inflation in Yugoslavia, as a series of lectures offered from Saturday-to-Saturday, and organized by our late professor Mirko Milić (1932-1993). The third NEUREL was held in September 1995, following the main intentions of the first Seminar. Next NEURELs (in 1997, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006,
2008, 2010 and 2012) were organized by the IEEE Yugoslavia Section (now Serbia and Montenegro Section) and its CAS-SP and CI Chapter, and technically co-sponsored by several IEEE Societies (SP-S, CAS-S CI-S), as well as by the IEEE Region 8.
12th NEUREL 2014 is organized by the IEEE Serbia and Montenegro (S&M) CAS-SP Chapter, and IEEE S&M Section, in cooperation with the School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, and Telecommunications Society, partially supported by Serbian Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, and CAS-SP Section and AI Section of the ETRAN Society.
