call for papers, previous message From: rpe@itri.bton.ac.uk (Roger Evans) Subject: AISB-95: CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS Date: Tue, 26 Jul 1994 13:35:26 GMT ------------------------------------------------- AISB-95: CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ------------------------------------------------- Call for Workshop Proposals: AISB-95 University of Sheffield, Sheffield, England April 3 -- 4, 1995 Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (SSAISB) The AISB Committee invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the Tenth Biennial Conference on AI and Cognitive Science (AISB-95). While the main conference will run for three days from Wednesday, April 5 to Friday, April 7, the workshops will be held on the two days preceding the main event: Monday, April 3 and Tuesday, April 4. The main conference has the theme "Hybrid Problems, Hybrid Solutions" (see the main conference call) and while proposals for workshops related to that theme would be particularly welcome, proposals are invited for workshops relating to any aspect of Artificial Intelligence or the Simulation of Behaviour. Proposals, from an individual or a pair of organisers, for workshops between 0.5 and 2 days long will be considered. Workshops will probably address topics which are at the forefront of research, but not yet sufficiently developed to warrant a full-scale conference. Submission: ---------- A workshop proposal should contain the following information: 1. Workshop Title 2. A detailed outline of the workshop. This should include the necessary background and the potential target audience for the workshop and a justified estimate of the number of possible attendees. Please also state the length and preferred date(s) of the workshop. Specify any equipment requirements, indicating whether the organisers would be expected to meet them. 3. A brief resume of the organiser(s). This should include: background in the research area, references to published work in the topic area and relevant experience, such as previous organisation or chairing of workshops. 4. Administrative information. This should include: name, mailing address, phone number, fax, and email address if available. In the case of multiple organisers, information for each organiser should be provided, but one organiser should be identified as the principal contact. 5. A draft Call for Participation. This should serve the dual purposes of informing and attracting potential participants. The organisers of accepted workshops are responsible for issuing a call for participation, reviewing requests to participate and scheduling the workshop activities within the constraints set by the Workshop Organiser. They are also responsible for submitting a collated set of papers for their workshop to the Workshop Organiser. Dates: ------ Intentions to organise a workshop should be made known to the Workshop Organiser as soon as possible. Proposals must be received by October 18th 1994. Decisions about topics and speakers will be made in early November. Collated sets of papers to be received by March 15th 1995. Proposals should be sent to: Dr. Robert Gaizauskas Department of Computer Science University of Sheffield 211 Portobello Street Regent Court Sheffield S1 4DP U.K. email: robertg@dcs.shef.ac.uk phone: +44 (0)742 825572 fax: +44 (0)742 780972 Electronic submission (plain ascii text) is highly preferred, but hard copy submission is also accepted, in which case 5 copies should be submitted. Proposals should not exceed 2 sides of A4 (i.e. 120 lines of text approx.). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Tutorial Proposals: AISB-95 University of Sheffield, Sheffield, England April 3 -- 4, 1995 Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (SSAISB) The AISB Committee invites proposals for Tutorials to be held in conjunction with the Tenth Biennial Conference on AI and Cognitive Science (AISB-95). While the main conference will run for three days from Wednesday, April 5 to Friday, April 7, the tutorials will be held on the two days preceding the main event: Monday, April 3 and Tuesday, April 4. Proposals for full and half day tutorials, from an individual or pair of presenters, will be considered. They may be offered both on standard topics and on new and more advanced aspects of Artificial Intelligence or Simulation of Behaviour. Anyone interested in presenting a tutorial should submit a proposal to the Workshop Organiser Dr Robert Gaizauskas (addresses below). Submission: ---------- A tutorial proposal should contain the following information: 1. Tutorial Title 2. A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in a brochure. 3. A detailed outline of the tutorial. This should include the necessary background and the potential target audience for the tutorial and a justified estimate of the number of possible attendees. Please also state the length and preferred date(s) of the tutorial. Specify any equipment requirements, indicating whether the organisers would be expected to meet them. 4. A brief resume of the presenter(s). This should include: background in the tutorial area, references to published work in the topic area and relevant experience. Published work should, ideally, include a published tutorial-level article on the subject. Relevant experience is teaching experience, including previous conference tutorials or short courses presented. 5. Administrative information. This should include: name, mailing address, phone number, fax, and email address if available. In the case of multiple presenters, information for each presenter should be provided, but one presenter should be identified as the principal contact. The presenter(s) of accepted tutorials must submit a set of tutorial notes (which may include relevant tutorial-level publications) to the Workshop Organisers by March 15th 1995. Dates: ------ Intentions to organise a tutorial should be made known to the the Workshop Organiser as soon as possible. Proposals must be received by October 18th 1994.
