The second call for papers is available here in two versions:

TOPICS in THEORY, METHODS and APPLICATIONS

We expect contributions related to the theoretical and methodological aspects of the self-organizing map including:
  • Data analysis and visualization with a special topic of modeling dynamic phenomena
  • Various mathematical approaches including information theory and mathematical statistics
  • Software and hardware implementations
  • Architectural solutions including hierarchical and growing networks, ensemble models and special metrics
  • Neuro-cognitive studies that compare modeling and empirical results at different levels
We also call for scientific and practice-oriented papers that describe the use of self-organizing maps with variants in different application areas including but not limited to:
  • Data mining
  • Pattern recognition
  • Signal processing
  • Knowledge management
