                         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.
