Timely neural networks applications in engineering—selected papers from the 12th EANN International Conference

摘要

This special issue of the Neurocomputing Journal hosts contributions from the 12th Engineering Applications of Neural Networks International Conference (EANN 2011) which is organized annually by the INNS (International Neural Network Society) and more specifically by the EANN Special Interest Group. It contains a selection of extended versions of papers from the above event and it aims in providing an insight of the wide range of diverse Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) applications in the new era of the 21st century. Potential applications include the following:Motor control in neuro-rehabilitation and neuro-prosthetics, robotic application scenarios in uncontrolled environments where multi-modal perception is required, performance improvements in the 3D Mountain car and Server job scheduling tasks, Liquid State Machines, analysis of 3G radio network performance, Venn Prediction classification, vision-based learning vehicle control systems capable of navigating autonomously, statistical data mining of streaming motion data for activity and fall recognition in assistive environments.
