The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of 
Behaviour (AISB) <http://aisb.org.uk/> is the largest Artificial 
Intelligence Society in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1964, the society 
has an international membership drawn from both academia and industry and 
is a member of the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial 
Intelligence <http://www.eccai.org/>. Since September 2012, the AISB has 
been hosting a series of one or two day workshops across the country. The 
5th workshop will take place at the University of Birmingham between 18th 
- 19th August 2014, with the theme "Figurative language: its patterns and 
meanings in domain-specific discourse 
<http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~gargetad/figurative-language-workshop-birmingham-2014.html>". 
A number of publications have already arisen from these events, the most 
recent of which was a Symposium Issue of of the *Journal of Consciousness 
Studies*.

information on what you will need to do on this page: http://www.aisb
