ASAI 2014: Call for Papers

43JAIIO - 43rd Argentine Conference on Informatics
1st – 2nd September, 2014
Universidad de Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
www.43jaiio.org.ar

ASAI, the Argentine Symposium on Artificial Intelligence, is an annual event intended to be the main forum of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community in Argentina. The symposium aims at providing a forum for researchers and AI community members to discuss and exchange ideas and experiences on diverse topics of AI. ASAI stimulates presentations on both applications of AI and new tools and foundations.

The XV Argentine Symposium on Artificial Intelligence (ASAI 2014) will be part of the 43rd Argentine Conference on Informatics (JAIIO 2014). JAIIO is organized as a series of thematic symposia including topics such as software engineering, artificial intelligence, technology, agroinformatics, high performance computing, industrial informatics, free software, law, health, information society, and a students contest. ASAI is organized by the Argentine Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAIA), a division of the Argentine Society for Informatics (SADIO). The symposium will consist of invited talks, regular paper sessions presenting mature work in theoretical research and applications, communications about previously published papers, a poster session and discussion panels. ASAI 2014 will be co-located with the  Second IJCAI School, which is in turn sponsored by the International Joint Conferences of AI and will consist of plenary talks from leading experts in different AI topics with strong experience on practical, groundbreaking applications, followed by one or two courses covering the corresponding theoretical foundations.

SUBMISSIONS

1. Proceedings papers: This is the standard ASAI paper submission. Original contributions will be selected via a rigorous double-blind peer-review process. All accepted papers must be presented at the Conference and will be published in the Proceedings.  Depending on agenda constraints, some submissions will be assigned to a poster session. The submission of manuscripts must follow the format available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The recommended length for a full paper is 6 pages and the limit is 8.

2. Communications: This is a new, non-standard type of ASAI contribution aimed at raising discussion on recent work. In contrast to the Proceedings track, Communications need not consist of original work. They are talks on high quality articles authored by the presenter and published in the recent past. Communications will be selected by the Program Committee based on a one-page abstract and a list of relevant papers. This type of contribution will not be published in the Proceedings.

3. Research group updates: This is also a new type of track in ASAI. It is aimed at strengthening the links of the local AI community by discussing about the prospects of the discipline and potentially generating partnerships for future projects. Oral presentations will be given by leaders of AI Research Groups from Argentina and the region. The talks should give a short overview of current research projects, recent scientific production, novel topics and open interests, and should be presented with a view on building bridges between research groups. Proposals will be evaluated by the Program Committee based on a one-page abstract and a list of the group recent papers in AI.

Submissions 1 and 2 should be made through the SADIO's conference management system. To upload your contribution you first need to register and sign in. If you have any problems, check the detailed instructions about registration and submission. Submissions for research group updates (type 3) should be made by e-mail to asai@43jaiio.org.ar. All contributions should be submitted in PDF format without the author names nor affiliations. For diffusion reasons, the use of English language is suggested, although Spanish will also be accepted. Information on the format of the camera-ready copy will be forwarded with the acceptance letter. Each accepted contribution must be presented in the symposium, and the presenter must be registered in the conference.
