- 2007
International Joint
Conference on Neural
Networks
(IJCNN)
- The
2007 International
Joint Conference on
Neural Networks
(IJCNN) will be held
at the Renaissance
Orlando Resort in
Orlando, Florida from
August 12 through
August 17. The
conference marks the
20 year anniversary
of this event. It is
sponsored by
International Neural
Network Society and
IEEE Computational
Intelligence
Society.
-
- The
pre-conference
tutorials will all be
held on August 12,
2007. There are more
than a dozen of them.
There will also be
about a dozen
post-conference
workshops held on
August 16th &
17th.

-
- For
those who are IEEE
Computational
Intelligence Society
(CIS) members, or
interested to learn
more about this broad
field, please contact
Dr. Donghui Wu,
.
We are exploring the
possibility of
creating a CIS
Chapter within
Orlando
Section.

-
- Discovery
Channel Series on
Safety
Engineering
- We
are a UK based
documentary
production company
and are producing a
13 x 1hr shows for
the Discovery Channel
US, tentatively
titled 'Crash Test
Inventors'.
-
- The
series is all about
taking existing and
new technologies and
using
them
- to
engineer solutions to
issues of safety in a
variety of situations
and events. During
the show we will take
a concept such as an
airbag, investigate
the possibilities,
design a
re-application for
another use and
perform a large scale
test of the
invention. This could
involve attaching
alarge airbag to a
helicopter to keep it
afloat in the event
of a crash into
water. The items will
range right down to
smaller scale tests
such as far as how to
make hard hats
stronger using
advanced materials
and cover both man
made and natural
hazards.
-
- The
idea is to
demonstrate
innovative solutions
to dangers that pose
a risk to people in
their everyday lives.
We won't be looking
for a final polished
product but to
demonstrate the
reapplication,
engineering,
construction of the
invention and an
interesting and
visual way to test
it. This could mean
anything from
dropping a helicopter
into a canyon to
smashing our hard hat
with
rocks.
-
- As
these shows hinge
upon clever
engineering we are
hoping that engineers
and scientists might
be willing to share
their ideas and
inspirations with us
as potential storey
ideas. We are
covering a huge
spectrum within the
remit so however big
or small scale or
'out there' the ideas
might seem, we would
be hugely grateful
for any submissions.
The tests will be
carried out at the
series base wherever
possible and expert
test facilities
across the
States.
-
- We
would ultimately be
looking for a
consultant to come on
for each storey to
provide expertise in
that particular field
and assist our hosts
with the construction
and testing. This
might therefore
provide the
opportunity for an
engineer to join our
team in building and
testing the invention
and offer expertise
in their particular
field.
