June 1-6, 2008, Hong Kong, China

################################################################################
We will be holding a special session on the NN5 competition (www.neural-forecasting-competition.com) at the WCCI 2008 conference (http://www.wcci2008.org). All those planning to submit predictions on the reduced dataset (11 time series) or the complete dataset (111 time series) are invited to submit abstracts describing their methods to apply for presentation at the 2008 WCCI conference.
- Abstracts are limited to 500 words, and should describe the method and methodology used to predict the time series. The title should
indicate the method used and contain ‘NN5’ in the title, submissions as plain text via email are encouraged (submitt to

- Presentations are restricted to NN5 competition participants (those that will submit predictions on the NN5 datasets). Presentations of those
submitting abstracts but not submitting predictions by the deadline will be cancelled.
- Presentations at other NN5 conference sessions (e.g. ISF'08 and DMIN'08) do not preclude presentation at WCCI'08 - you can present at
multiple conference sessions.
- In order to present at the NN5 session those accepted must register to attend the main WCCI’08 conference. Those already registered
for WCCI'08 with one or two papers presented in other conference sessions require no extra registration for this session.
- The best prediction on the complete dataset will win a free registration (refund on site) awarded during the session
Important Dates:
05 April 2008: Abstracts due (or as soon as possible)
11 April 2008: Notification of acceptance
15 April 2008: WCCI early registration deadline
15 May 2008: Predictions & draft papers due
The WCCI competition program includes 10 other exciting competitions and hundreds of presentations!
We look forward to welcoming you in Hong Kong!
Kind regards,
