The Inaugural Conference of the European Society for Philosophy and
Psychology will take place in Louvain (Leuven) Belgium, from Friday 17 to
Sunday 19 July, 1992.

The goal of the Society is 'to promote interaction between philosophers
and psychologists on issues of common concern'.

The programme for this inaugural meeting will comprise invited lectures -
by Dan Sperber and Larry Weiskrantz - and invited symposia.  Topics for
symposia include: Intentionality, Reasoning, Connectionist Models,
Consciousness, Theory of Mind, and Philosophical Issues from Linguistics.

There will also be a business meeting to inaugurate the Society formally.

The conference will be held in the Institute of Philosophy, University of
Louvain.  The first session will commence at 3.00 pm on Friday 17 July,
and the conference will end at lunchtime on Sunday 19 July.

Accommodation at various prices in hotels and student residences will be
available.

                         Vail, Colorado


                      Request for Proposals

Following the regular NIPS program, workshops on  current  topics
in  Neural  Information Processing will be held on December 4 and
5, 1992, in Vail, Colorado.  Proposals by  qualified  individuals
interested  in  chairing  one  of  these workshops are solicited.
Past topics have included:  Computational  Neuroscience;  Sensory
Biophysics;  Recurrent  Nets;  Self-Organization; Speech; Vision;
Rules and Connectionist Models; Neural Network Dynamics; Computa-
tional  Complexity  Issues;  Benchmarking Neural Network Applica-
tions; Architectural Issues;  Fast  Training  Techniques;  Active
Learning  and  Control;  Optimization; Bayesian Analysis; Genetic
Algorithms; VLSI  and  Optical  Implementations;  Integration  of
Neural  Networks  with  Conventional  Software.   The goal of the
workshops is to provide an  informal  forum  for  researchers  to
freely  discuss  important  issues of current interest.  Sessions
will meet in the morning and in the afternoon of both days,  with
free  time  in between for ongoing individual exchange or outdoor
activities.  Specific open and/or controversial  issues  are  en-
couraged and preferred as workshop topics.  Individuals proposing
to chair a workshop will have responsibilities including: arrange
brief  informal  presentations  by  experts working on the topic,
moderate or lead the discussion,  and  report  its  high  points,
findings and conclusions to the group during evening plenary ses-
sions, and in a short (2 page) written summary.  Submission  Pro-
cedure:   Interested parties should submit a short proposal for a
workshop of interest postmarked by May 22, 1992.   (Express  mail
is  *not*  necessary. Submissions by electronic mail will also be
acceptable.) Proposals should include a title, a  short  descrip-
tion  of  what the workshop is to address and accomplish, and the
proposed length of the workshop (one day or two days).  It should
state  why  the  topic  is  of  interest or controversial, why it
should be discussed and what the targeted group  of  participants
is.   In  addition, please send a brief resume of the prospective
