19th Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence
UAI-2003
First Call for Papers
August 7-10, 2003
http://research.microsoft.com/uai2003
************************************************************************
Since 1985, the Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI) has been
the primary international forum for presenting new results on the use of principled
methods for reasoning under uncertainty within intelligent systems. The scope of UAI
is wide, including, but not limited to, representation, automated reasoning, learning,
decision making and knowledge acquisition under uncertainty. We encourage submissions
that report on advances in these core areas as well as submissions describing
interesting and novel systems that utilize techniques from these core areas.
The 19th Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence will be held August
7-10, 2003 at the Hyatt Hotel, Acapulco, Mexico. The main technical session will be on
August 8-10, and will be preceded with a tutorial program on August 7. The UAI-2003 is
collocated with and immediately precedes the International Joint Conference on
Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) which will be held August 9-15.
Paper Submission
****************
UAI-2003 requires electronic submission of papers and abstracts according to
instructions posted at the conference home page. If authors have special circumstances
that prevent electronic submission, arrangements can be made directly with the program
co-chairs listed below.
Authors are required to submit a title and a short abstract a week before the paper
submission deadline. Submitted papers must be prepared according to the UAI-2003
proceedings format and must be no more than eight (8) pages long, including figures
and bibliography. Papers that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without
review. The conference home page will contain format information and provides access
to style files and templates.
Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished work. At
the time the full paper is submitted to UAI-2003, and for the entire review period,
the paper should not be under review by any other conference or scientific journal.
Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated on the basis of originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Papers may be accepted
for presentation in plenary or poster sessions. All accepted papers will be included
in the Proceedings of the Nineteenth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial
Intelligence, published by Morgan Kaufmann Publishers.
The program committee will select papers for special distinction in two categories at
UAI-2003: a "Best Paper" award, and an "Outstanding Student Paper" award. The
conference home page will contain instructions for certifying student status with
regards to the latter award.
