About NEUREL
By following 20 years tradition of NEUREL symposia, the NEUREL 2012 will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, in September 20-22, 2012. Belgrade is the capital of Serbia, and educational, scientific, historical, cultural, commercial, and industrial center of Serbia. Located at the place where the Sava River joins the blue Danube on its way to the Black sea, Belgrade is well-known as the famous entertainment center of the South-East Europe.
NEUREL events have been organized as biennial events to allow scientists, experts and engineers working in diverse areas to report their recent research in the fields of neural networks (NNs) and fuzzy systems, and to contribute to their applications, mainly, but not only, in Electrical Engineering. Much attention has also been paid to biomedical aspects of NNs.
Main topics of NEUREL 2012 (but not strongly limited to) are:
| 1. Theory and models |
2. Realizations |
3. Applications |

The first NEUREL Seminar started in December 1990, as a result of enthusiastic work of several professors, particularly of our late professor Rajko Tomović (1919-2001), who recognized the power of neural networks in solving different complex problems without the need for special purpose algorithms. Just after this event, the Civil War in former Yugoslavia stopped many intellectual, cultural and scientific activities. Surprisingly, despite the disintegration of former Yugoslavia, NEUREL events survived: the second NEUREL was held in winter 1992/93 under an enormous inflation in Yugoslavia, as a series of lectures offered from Saturday-to-Saturday, and organized by our late professor Mirko Milić (1932-1993). The third NEUREL was held in September 1995, following the main intentions of the first Seminar. Next NEURELs (in 1997, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006,
2008 and 2010) were organized by the IEEE Yugoslavia Section (now Serbia and Montenegro Section) and its CAS-SP and CI Chapter, and technically co-sponsored by several IEEE Societies (SP-S, CAS-S CI-S), as well as by the IEEE Region 8.
10th NEUREL 2010 was organized by IEEE Serbia and Montenegro (S&M) CAS-SP Chapter, IEEE S&M CI Chapter, IEEE S&M Com Chapter, and IEEE S&M Section, in cooperation with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Innovation Center Faculty of Electrical Engineering, CAS-SP Section and AI Section of the ETRAN Society, Telecommunications Society and Research Institute IRITEL, partially supported by Serbian Ministry of Education and Science, and
technically co-sponsored by several IEEE entities: CAS-S, CI-S, IM-S, SP-S, and IEEE Region 8.
