IJCAI-89 Workshops:
Request for Proposals
The IJCAI-89 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop
Program of the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
(IJCAI-89),to be held in Detroit, Michigan from August 20, 1989 to August 20,
1989.
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 practitioners 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 proposing 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 of 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 organization,
4. a partial list of potential participants, and
5. a proposed schedule for getting the workshop organized and a proposed
workshop agenda.
Workshop proposals should be submitted as soon as possible, but no
later than 1 February 1989. 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 1989.
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.
IJCAI 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:
