Submission deadline: 1 March 2000

AIMS AND SCOPE

This workshop is the second in the series initiated by the highly succesful
ICA'99 workshop in Aussois, France. It is devoted to recent
advances in Independent Component Analysis and Blind Signal Separation.
An important goal of the workshop is to bring together
researchers from artificial neural networks, signal processing, and
other related fields to provide interdisciplinary exchange.

Papers describing original work on ICA and BSS are invited.
Relevant topics include, for example:
- Theory and estimation methods
- Extensions of basic models
- Convolutive and noisy mixtures
- Nonlinear methods
- Hardware implementations
- Audio and telecommunications applications
- Biomedical applications
- Image processing applications
- Data mining applications
- Sensory coding models
