Call for Workshop Proposals
===========================
KI 2012, Saarbrücken, 24-27 September, http://www.dfki.de/ki2012/
KI 2012, the 35th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, invites
original research papers, as well as workshop and tutorial proposals from all
areas of AI, its fundamentals, its algorithms, and its applications.
Together with the main conference, we aim at organizing a small number of
high-quality workshops suitable for a large percentage of conference
participants, including graduate students as well as experienced researchers
and practitioners.
General Information
---------------------------
Workshops will be free of charge for conference participants and will be held
at the first day of the conference. Both full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3
hours) workshops are of interest. They should preferably be given in English.
The KI 2012 conference organizers will provide logistic support and meeting
places for the workshops as well as determine the dates and times of the
workshops.
Working and teaching material will be printed by the conference organization.
Volumes are limited to a total of 200 pages.
How to Propose a Workshop
---------------------------
Proposals should be prepared in PDF, or plain ASCII (two pages) and sent by
email to the KI 2012 Workshop Chair. Each workshop proposal should provide the
following information:
* Description of workshop topic and goal. This description should discuss
the relevance of the suggested topic and its interest to the general AI
community and the KI 2012 audience.
* Names and full addresses (including email and web address) of the
workshop organizer(s). This can be a single person or a group of persons.
Please indicate the primary contact person for the workshop to KI 2012. Strong
proposals include organizers who bring differing perspectives to the workshop
topic and who are actively connected to the communities of potential
participants.
* Names and affiliation of the members of the proposed Program Committee.
* For which areas of AI do you expect to draw participants for your
workshop and how many participants do you expect? How do you plan to invite
participants for the workshop?
* A brief description of the workshop format regarding the mix of events
such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, demonstrations, and general
discussions.
* Do you expect the workshop to be a full-day workshop or a half-day
workshop?
* A list of important dates (submission deadline etc) for the workshop.
Workshop organizers will be responsible for:
* Producing a call for participation. This call will be posted on the KI
2012 website.
* Organizers are responsible for additional publicity such as distributing
the call to relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to
potential audiences from outside the KI conference community.
* Submissions of the workshop papers will be handled by the workshop
organizers. Please make sure that you have a proper review process.
* Organizers are encouraged to maintain their own web site with updated
information about the workshop. This site will be linked from the KI 2012
conference site.
* Coordinating the production of the workshop notes. The workshop
organizers coordinate the paper collection, production, and distribution of the
working notes for the workshops.
