AAAI-88 Workshops:
Request for Proposals
The AAAI-88 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop Program of
the Seventh National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-88), to be
held at Saint Paul, Minn. from August 21, 1988 to August 26, 1988. Gathering
in an informal setting, workshop participants will have the opportunity to
meet and discuss issues with a selected focus---providing for active exchange
among researchers and practioners on topics of mutual interest. Members from
all segments of the AI community are encouraged to submit workshop proposals
for review.
To encourage interaction and a broad exchange of ideas, the workshops will be
kept small---preferably under 35 participants. Attendance should be limited
to active participants only. The format of workshop presentations will be
determined by the organizers of the workshop, but ample time must be allotted
for general discussion. Workshops can range in length from two hours to two
days, but most workshops will last a half day or a full day.
Proposals for workshops should be between 1 and 2 pages in length, and
should contain:
1/ a brief description the workshop identifying specific issues that will be
focused on.
2/ a discussion of why the workshop would be of interest at this time,
3/ the names and addresses of the organizing committee, preferably 3 or 4
people not all at the same site,
4/ a list of several potential participants, and
5/ a proposed schedule.
Workshop proposals should be submitted as soon as possible, but no later
than 1 February 1988. Proposals will be reviewed as they are received and
resources allocated as workshops are approved. Organizers will be notified
of the committee's decision no later than 15 February 1988.
Workshop organizers will be responsible for:
1/ producing a Call for Participation in the workshop, which will be mailed
to AAAI members by AAAI,
2/ reviewing requests to participate in the workshop, and determining the
workshop participants,
3/ scheduling the activities of the workshop, and
4/ preparing a review of the workshop, which will be printed in the AI
Magazine.
AAAI will provide logistical support, will provide a meeting place for
the workshop, and, in conjunction with the organizers, will determine the
date and time of the workshop.
Please submit your workshop proposals, and enquiries concerning workshops, to:
