- Call for Workshop Proposals
- AAAI-93
-
- The AAAI-93 Program Committee invites proposals for the
- Workshop Program of the American Association for Artificial
- Intelligence's National Conference on Artificial Intelligence
- (AAAI-93). Workshops will be held July 11-16, 1993. Workshop
- participants will have the opportunity to meet and discuss
- issues with a selected focus - providing an informal setting for
- active exchange among researchers, developers and users on
- topics of interest. Members of all segments of the AI community
- are encouraged to submit proposals.
-
- To encourage interaction and exchange of ideas, the workshops
- will be kept small with 25-50 participants. Attendance is limited
- to active participants only. The format of the workshop
- presentations will be determined by the organizers. Organizers
- are encouraged to leave ample time for general discussion.
- Workshops will typically be one full day in length, although
- half-day and two-day proposals will be considered.
-
-
- Proposal Content
-
- Proposals for workshops should be about 2 pages in length, and
- should contain:
- - A description of the workshop. Identify the specific issues on
- which the workshop will focus.
- - A brief discussion of why the workshop is of particular interest
- at this time.
- - The names and addresses of the organizing committee; 3 to 4
- people knowledgeable in the field. Strong proposals include
- organizers who bring differing perspectives to the workshop
- topic.
- - An indication as to whether the workshop should be
- considered for a half-day, one or two-day meeting.
-
- We especially welcome proposals which bridge the gap between
- practitioners and theorists, and which encourage the
- submission of experimental results, the formation of testable
- hypotheses, the analysis or comparison of existing systems, or
- the careful elucidation of the results of exploratory research.
-
-
- Submissions
-
- Workshop proposals should be submitted as soon as possible
- but no later than October 9, 1992. Organizers will be notified of
- the committee's decision by November 2, 1992. Workshop
- organizers will be responsible for:
- - Producing a "call for participation". The Call is due November
- 20, 1992. This call will be mailed to AAAI members by AAAI.
- - Selecting participants. Workshop attendance is by invitation of
- the organizers. Selection of attendees will be made by the
- organizers on the basis of submissions due March 12, 1993.
- Workshop organizers will need to provide AAAI with a list of
- the participants by April 2,1993.
- - Coordinating the production of the workshop notes. AAAI
- provides a small budget to cover publication, mailing and
- administration support. AAAI can reproduce and mail copies of
- the working notes if materials are received by April 30, 1993.
- Working notes may contain a collection of statements by
- participants or other relevant material, but are limited to a total
- of 200 pages.
-
-
- Scheduling the Workshop Activities
-
- Workshop organizers who want to publish the papers from their
- workshop (or significant portions of it) will have the
- opportunity to do so through the AAAI Press. The Press (which
- retains the right of first refusal to publish) will furnish details of
- its program to interested organizers and authors.
-
- AAAI will provide logistic support, and meeting places for the
- workshops, and will determine the dates and times of the
- workshops. Workshop participants who do not register for the
- main conference will be charged a workshop fee. AAAI reserves
- the right to drop any workshop if the organizers miss the above
- deadlines . Workshops are not to be used as a vehicle for
- marketing products.
