The CNS*2004 committee calls for proposals for workshops, to be held on the 
final two days of CNS*2004, 21 and 22 July, at the Radisson Royal Plaza Lord 
hotel in Baltimore, MD. 
Information can be found at www.cnsorg.org

Workshops provide an informal forum within the CNS meeting for focused 
discussion of recent or speculative research, novel techniques, and open issues 
in computational neuroscience.  Topics exploring theoretical interfaces to 
recent experimental work are particularly encouraged.  Several formats are 
possible:  Discussion Workshops (formal or informal); Tutorials;  and Mini-
symposia, or a combination of these formats. Discussion workshops, whether 
formal (i.e., held in a conference room with projection and writing media) or 
informal (held elsewhere), should stress interactive and open discussions in 
preference to sequential presentations. Tutorials and mini-symposia provide a 
format for a focused exploration of particular issues or techniques within a 
more traditional presentation framework; ample time should be reserved for 
questions and general discussion. The organizers of a workshop should endeavor 
to bring together as broad a range of pertinent viewpoints as possible. 
The length of a workshop may range from one (half-day) session to the full two 
days. Single day workshops have been particularly successful in the past.
To propose a workshop, please submit the following information to the workshop 
coordinator at the address below 
1.	the name(s) of the organizer(s) 
2.	the title of the workshop 
3.	a description of the subject matter, indicating clearly the range of 
topics to be discussed 
4.	a 200 word abstract of the subject matter
5.	the format(s) of the workshop; if a discussion session, please specify 
whether you would like it to be held in a conference room or in a less formal 
setting 
6.	for tutorials and mini-symposia, a provisional list of speakers 
7.	the number of sessions for which the workshop is to run 
Please submit proposals as early as possible by email to 
workshops at cnsorg.org
or by post to
Adrienne Fairhall
Department of Physiology and Biophysics
University of Washington
Box 357290
Seattle WA 98195-7290

The descriptions of accepted workshops will appear on the CNS*2004 web site as 
they are received. Attendees are encouraged to check this list, and to contact 
the organizers of any workshops in which they are interested in participating.
