CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS: IJCAI-97
The IJCAI-97 Program Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial
Program for IJCAI-97, which is to be held in Nagoya, Japan,
August 23-29, 1997.
Tutorials will be held in the period of August 24-25,
immediately prior to the start of the main conference.
Tutorials will be offered both on standard topics and on new and more
advanced topics.
A list of suggested topics that can be covered by tutorials is given
below, but this list is only a guide.
Other topics, will be considered:
- Analogical and Inductive Inference
- Logics for AI and Inference Techniques
- Reasoning about Knowledge
- Temporal and Spatial Reasoning
- Probabilistic Reasoning and Uncertainty
- Planning and Scheduling
- Case-based Reasoning
- Machine Learning
- Neural Networks - Principles and Applications
- Computer Vision
- Natural Language Processing
- Mobile Robot Navigation
- Motion Planning in Robotics
- Programming and Reasoning with Constraints
- Architectures for AI Systems
- Distributed AI
- Knowledge Acquisition - Theory and Practice
- Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
- Intelligent Environments to Support Human Learning
- Intelligent Interfaces
- Innovative Applications of AI Techniques
- AI in Engineering Design
- AI in Education
Requirements for Submission
Anyone interested in presenting a tutorial should submit a proposal to
the IJCAI-97 Tutorial Chair, Prof. Bernhard Nebel.
A tutorial proposal should contain the following information:
- A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in
the conference registration brochure
- A detailed outline of the tutorial
- The necessary background and the potential target audience for
the tutorial
- A description of why the tutorial topic is of interest to a
substantial part of the IJCAI audience
- A brief resumé of the presenter(s), which should include
name, postal address, phone and fax numbers, email address if
available, background in the tutorial area, any available example
of work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level article
on the subject), evidence of teaching experience (including
references that address the proposer's presentation ability), and
evidence of scholarship in AI/Computer Science (equivalent to a
published IJCAI conference paper or tutorial syllabus).
Those submitting a proposal should keep in mind that tutorials are
intended to provide an overview of the field; they should present
reasonably well established information in a balanced way. Tutorials
should not be used to advocate a single avenue of research, nor should
they promote a product.
Timetable
Proposals must be received by October 21, 1996.
Decisions about topics and speakers will be made by November 20,
1996.
Accepted tutorial presenters must provide title and abstract for their
tutorial, and a brief biography and photograph for publicity, by
December 13, 1996.
They will then be sent a set of guidelines for the preparation of course
materials, which will be due May 1, 1997.
Please note that IJCAI will normally only duplicate up to 200
pages per participant.
IJCAI reserves the right to cancel any tutorial if deadlines are missed,
or if the number of registered attendees at the tutorial is too low to
support the costs associated with running the tutorial.
Proposals should be sent to:

Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg
