The specialties
Article Abstract:
IEEE experts discuss specific trends in the computer and electronics industries, including the combination of neural networks with fuzzy-logic systems, the increased use and declining cost of color in desktop publishing and improved measurement of electromagnetic compatibility. IEEE Council on Neural Networks Pres Robert J. Marks II says two promising computing areas are the coupling of neural networks with fuzzy systems to enable empirical learning of rules and genetic algorithms for highly parallel searching. IEEE Professional Communication Society administrative committee member David L. McKown says the decline of prices and improved quality of color printers, color scanners and film recorders has made color desktop publishing cost-effective for self-publishers, though few self-publishers are trained in the use and effects of color. IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society Pres H.R. Hofmann asserts that the technology for measurement of electromagnetic compatibility has significantly improved.

The specialities
Article Abstract:
Electromagnetic compatibility is becoming a major issue. Education is seen as a vital need by the EMC Society, and has become its most intractable problem. Positive results come from the field of AI. Bellcore Labs has developed a chip that is a first step toward a very large-scale integrated circuit that can learn from examples of what an expert would do. The chip is an analog implementation of a neural network with an adaptive model synapse, based on models of computation in the human brain. The new chip's analog scalar computation is about ten-thousand times the speed of digital computer simulations of neural networks.
