I am sorry if you receive this announcement several times. (I am posting it to multiple mailing lists.) Happy 2000! Cheers, Sven Koenig College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cc.gatech.edu/fac/Sven.Koenig/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Abstracts Student Abstract and Poster Program of the Seventeenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-2000) July 30-August 3, 2000, Austin, Texas (USA) AAAI-2000 invites submissions to the student abstract and poster program. The goal of this program is to provide a forum in which students can present and discuss their work during its early stages, meet some of their peers who have related interests, and introduce themselves to more senior members of the field. The program is open to all graduate students. Nonstudent advisors or collaborators should be acknowledged appropriately, as coauthors or otherwise. However, students are requested to honor the spirit of the program by submitting only work for which they are primary investigators. Summary of Dates ---------------- Authors must submit six (6) printed copies of a two-page abstract describing their research, to arrive at the AAAI office no later than January 19, 2000. We also request that authors submit the URL of a location where reviewers can access complementary material about the student's research. The URL is critical to reviewers because of the brevity of the hard-copy submission. Notification of acceptance or rejection of submitted abstracts will be mailed to the author by March 15, 2000. Camera-ready copy of accepted abstracts will be due by April 4, 2000. The Student Abstract and Poster Program is part of the Seventeenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-2000), which will be held from July 30 to August 3, 2000 in Austin, Texas (USA). Summary of Format ----------------- Submissions must be printed on 8 1/2 x 11 inch or A4 paper using 12 point type (10 characters per inch for typewriters). Each page must have a maximum of 38 lines and an average of 75 characters per line (corresponding to the LaTeX article-style, 12 point). All abstracts must be no more than two pages, not including the bibliography. The first two pages must include the following: title; the primary author's full name, affiliation, postal address, phone number, URL (if available), and e-mail address; all coauthors' full names and affiliations; text; and any figures, tables, or diagrams. Up to one additional page may be used exclusively for the bibliography if necessary. Papers exceeding the specified length and formatting requirements are subject to rejection without review. Submissions to AAAI-2000 or Other Conferences --------------------------------------------- Students are free to submit abstracts for work reported in a regular paper submitted to the AAAI-2000 or another conference, but not for work that has already been published. Abstracts will be accepted or rejected for the student session regardless of the outcomes of related paper submissions. Publication ----------- Accepted abstracts will be allocated one (1) page in the conference proceedings. Students will be required to transfer copyright of the abstract to AAAI. Poster Session -------------- Accepted abstracts will be allocated presentation time and space in the student poster display area at the conference. Student authors of accepted abstracts must agree to prepare a poster representing the work described in their abstracts and to be available to discuss their work with visitors during their allocated time in the student poster display area.
