DEADLINE EXTENDED!
WIRN 2018
The Italian Workshop on Neural Networks (WIRN) is the annual conference of the Italian Society of Neural
Networks (SIREN). The conference is organized, since 1989, in co-operation with the International Institute
for Advanced Scientific Studies (IIASS) of Vietri S/M (Italy), and is a traditional event devoted to the
discussion of novelties and innovations related to field of Artificial Neural Networks. In recent years, it also
became a multidisciplinary forum on psychological and cognitive theories for modelling human behaviours.
The 28th Edition of the Italian Workshop on Neural Networks (WIRN 2018) will be held at the IIASS of
Vietri sul Mare, near Salerno, Italy.
