                       FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS 

    The First International Workshop on Machine Learning, Forecasting,
	              and Optimization (MALFO96)
                           July 9-12, 1996
      Escuela Politecnica Superior, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid,
			Leganes, Madrid (Spain)

            http://grial.uc3m.es/~dborrajo/malfo96.html

The current interest of many research groups in the application of machine
learning techniques has attracted the attention of people working in areas
other than Artificial Intelligence, such as Economics, Mathematics, Operations
Research, Biology, Psychology, Statistics, or Databases. Although there is a
clear interaction among these areas, there have been very few international
meetings to gather scientists who work separately in these areas. The
interdisciplinary focus of the workshop aims at analyzing the common issues of
complex data analysis, optimization, and forecasting tasks. The main
objective of the workshop will be to discuss the interrelation of the
common problems and approaches. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to, the following:

- application of techniques from one field to another field
- integration of several data analysis techniques
- new techniques for learning, forecasting, or optimization
- comparative studies of strategies, methods, and paradigms in
  machine learning, statistics, and mathematics
- fielded applications

MALFO96 will be held in the city of Leganes, south of Madrid, Spain. It is
easily accessible from Barajas airport, downtown Madrid, and Leganes railway
station. The workshop is organized by the Computer Science Department at
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, and sponsored by Universidad
Carlos III de Madrid.
