21st Italian Workshop on Neural Networks

WIRN 2011 The Italian Workshop on Neural Networks (WIRN) is the annual conference of the Italian Society of Neural Networks (SIREN). The conference is organized continuously, 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 the Artificial Neural Networks. The 21st Edition of the Italian Workshop on Neural Networks (WIRN 2011) will be held, as usual, at the beautiful town of Vietri sul Mare, near Salerno, Italy.
