The Third International Symposium on Neural Networks (ISNN 2006) will be held in Chengdu, as a sequel of ISNN 2005 in Chongqing and ISNN 2004 in Dalian, China. Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan (Szechwan) Province in southwestern China, a modern metropolitan with 2310-year history and rich cultural heritage, featuring relaxing lifestyle, spicy Szechwan cuisine, and numerous historic and scenery sites nearby including three UNESCO World Heritages (two cultural heritages: Dujiangyan-Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain-Leshan Giant Buddha, one natural heritage: Jiuzhaigou-Huanglong).
ISNN 2006 aims to provide a high-level international forum for scientists, engineers, and educators to present the state of the art of neural network research and applications in diverse fields. The symposium will feature plenary speeches given by worldwide renowned scholars, regular sessions with broad coverage, and some special sessions focusing on popular topics. Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers (6 pages normally and 10 pages maximum) by the submission deadline using the Online Paper Submission System. Potential organizers are also invited to enlist five or more papers with cohesive topics to form special sessions. The submission of a paper implies that the paper is original and has not been submitted under review or copyright protected elsewhere and will be presented by an author if accepted. All submitted papers will be refereed by experts in the field based on the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and clarity.

The authors of accepted papers will have an opportunity to revise their papers and take consideration of the referees' comments and suggestions. All papers accepted and presented at ISNN2006 will be published by Springer as multiple volumes of Lecture Notes in Computer Science which are indexed by SCI-Expanded.
