PAPER SUBMISSIONS
In a change from previous AiML's, there will be two types of paper:
(1) Full papers for publication and presentation at the conference.
(2) Abstracts for short presentation only.
Both types of paper should be submitted electronically using the
submission page at
http://www.easychair.org/AiML08/
The online submission system is now open. The submission deadline
is 31 March 2008.
(1) FULL PAPERS
These will be published by College Publications
http://www.collegepublications.co.uk
in a volume to be made available at the meeting. Authors are invited to
submit for review a full paper, not submitted elsewhere. It should be
at most 15 pages plus optionally a technical appendix of up to 5 pages,
together with a plain-text abstract of say 100-200 words.
To appear in the conference volume, papers must be prepared in LaTeX
using the style files to be provided at http://aiml08.loria.fr . At
least one author of each accepted paper must register for and attend the
conference to present the paper.
(2) ABSTRACTS
These should at most 5 pages. They may describe preliminary
results, work in progress etc., and will be subject to light review.
They may be made available at the conference, and authors should
indicate if they would like to make a short presentation of their
abstract of up to 15 minutes.
