From: IN%"csa33@keele.ac.uk" 19-SEP-1993 04:58:50.64 To: IN%"news-announce-conferences@cs.utexas.edu" CC: Subj: Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour Workshop Series: Call for Workshop/Tutorial Proposals -------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals: AISB Workshop Series -------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Workshop Proposals: AISB Workshop Series University of Leeds, England April 11th - 13th 1994 Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (SSAISB) The AISB Committee invites proposals for Workshops for the first AISB Biennial Workshop Series to be held at the University of Leeds, England, April 11th - 13th 1994. The AISB workshop series is to be held in even years during the Easter vacation. In odd years workshops are held immediately before the biennial conference, but there has so far not been a similar opportunity to hold workshops in even years. The intention in setting up a regular workshop series is to encourage the organisation of workshops by providing an administrative framework so that individual workshop organisers do not have to worry about many of the administrative tasks involved in running a workshop, leaving them free to concentrate on the scientific programme. Equally, the fact that many workshops are being held concurrently in the same place should encourage participation in the workshops since it will provide an opportunity for attendees at one workshop to meet with those from other workshops during breaks and in the evenings. Proposals, from an individual or a pair of organisers, for workshops between 0.5 and 3 days long will be considered. Workshops will probably address topics which are at the forefront of research, but not yet sufficiently developed to warrant a full-scale conference. They may also address any aspect of Artificial Intelligence or the Simulation of Behaviour. In addition to research workshops, one event which has been successful in previous years is a Postgraduate workshop on how to do a PhD in AI/Cognitive Science;: in fact, these have really had a hybrid workshop/tutorial nature. We would welcome a proposal to organise such a workshop at the 1994 AISB Workshop Series in Leeds. [If you would like more information about what is involved in running the postgraduate workshop (without any commitment at this stage) please contact one of the AISB Workshop Series organisers, who will be happy to provide more information or discuss possibilities.] Submission: ---------- A workshop proposal should contain the following information: 1. Workshop Title 2. A detailed outline of the workshop. This should include the necessary background and the potential target audience for the workshop and a justified estimate of the number of possible attendees. Please also state the length and preferred date(s) of the workshop. 3. A brief resume of the organiser(s). This should include: background in the research area, references to published work in the topic area and relevant experience, such as previous organisation or chairing of workshops. 4. Administrative information. This should include: name, mailing address, phone number, fax, and email address if available. In the case of multiple organisers, information for each organiser should be provided, but one organiser should be identified as the principal contact. The organisers of accepted workshops are responsible for producing a call for participation, reviewing requests to participate and scheduling the workshop activities within the constraints set by the Workshop Series organisers. They are also responsible for submitting a collated set of papers for their workshop to the Series organisers. Dates: ------ Intentions to organise a workshop should be made known to either of the Workshop Series organisers as soon as possible. Proposals must be received by January 31st 1994. Decisions about topics and speakers will be made in February 1994. Collated sets of papers to be received by March 25th 1994. Proposals should be sent to: or Dr. Hyacinth S.

Proposals for full and half day tutorials, from an individual or pair of presenters, will be considered. They may be offered both on standard topics and on new and more advanced aspects of Artificial Intelligence or Simulation of Behaviour. Anyone interested in presenting a tutorial should submit a proposal to either of the workshop series organisers, Dr Ann Blandford or Dr Hyacinth Nwana (addresses below). Submission: ---------- A tutorial proposal should contain the following information: 1. Tutorial Title 2. A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in a brochure. 3. A detailed outline of the tutorial. This should include the necessary background and the potential target audience for the tutorial and a justified estimate of the number of possible attendees. Please also state the length and preferred date(s) of the tutorial. 3. A brief resume of the presenter(s). This should include: background in the tutorial area, references to published work in the topic area and relevant experience. Published work should, ideally, include a published tutorial-level article on the subject. Relevant experience is teaching experience, including previous conference tutorials or short courses presented. 4. Administrative information. This should include: name, mailing address, phone number, fax, and email address if available. In the case of multiple presenters, information for each presenter should be provided, but one presenter should be identified as the principal contact. The presenter(s) of accepted tutorials must submit a set of tutorial notes (which may include relevant tutorial-level publications) to the Workshop Series organisers by March 25th 1994. Dates: ------ Intentions to organise a tutorial may be made known to either of the Workshop Series organisers as soon as possible. Proposals must be received by January 31st 1994.
