All volumes begin with a comprehensive table of contents and end with a comprehensive author index. All articles are preceded by abstracts and author information (association and e-mail addresses) and end with a list of references. Plenary talks and all sessions are included. Plenary talks revolve around information geometrical methods for neural networks, self-organizing maps of massive document collections, and searching the Web. Panels have such titles as "Does connectionism permit reading of rules from a network?" and "Neural networks for intelligent control and perspectives." Numerous sessions revolve around such subjects as fuzzy neural systems, network optimizations, pattern recognitions, and neurocognition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
