FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS 

IBERAMIA 2008 is the 11th edition of the Ibero-American Conference on Artificial Intelligence, a leading symposium where the Ibero-American AI community comes together to share research results and experiences with researchers in Artificial Intelligence from all over the world. IBERAMIA 2008 will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, October 14-17, 2008, organized by the Lisbon University Institute (ADETTI/ISCTE). The conference is sponsored by the main Ibero-American Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science societies: SBC (Brazil), SMIA (Mexico), APPIA (Portugal), and AEPIA (Spain).

IBERAMIA welcomes submissions on mainstream AI topics, as well as novel cross cutting work in related areas. Topics may include but are not limited to the following:

* Cognitive modeling and human interaction
* Commonsense reasoning
* Constraint satisfaction
* Evolutionary computation and Artificial Life
* Game playing and interactive entertainment
* Information integration and extraction
* Knowledge acquisition and ontologies
* Knowledge representation and reasoning
* Machine learning and data mining
* Model-based systems
* Multiagent Systems
* Natural language processing
* Planning and scheduling
* Probabilistic reasoning
* Robotics, vision, and pattern Recognition
* Search
* Semantic web
* Distributed AI
* AI in Education
* Uncertainty and Fuzzy Systems
* Genetic Algorithms and Neural Networks

Papers must be written in English, and will be reviewed on the basis of their relevance, significance of the contribution, originality, technical soundness, quality and clarity. As in previous years, accepted papers will be published in the series "Advances in Artificial Intelligence" of Springer-Verlag LNAI.


PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS

Submitted papers must not exceed 10 pages, including all tables, figures, and references and are required to be formatted in the Springer LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submissions over ten pages will be rejected without review. Papers must be submitted through the ConfMaster submission system that will be made available through the conference Web site (see http://adetti.iscte.pt/events/IBERAMIA2008).

All submissions will go through a peer review process, with three independent PC members reviewing each submission. Reviewing will be anonymous, so author names and affiliations must be omitted from the submission, using instead the unique tracking number assigned by the conference system at the time of submission. In addition, self-references in the text, like "in [Garcia 2004], we prove that" should be avoided, using instead references such as "in [Garcia 2004] it is proved that".


IMPORTANT DATES

Deadline for paper submission: 19th May 2008
Notification of acceptance: 30th June 2008
Deadline for camera-ready papers: 7th July 2008
Conference: 14-17th October 2008

VISIT LISBON!

LISBON is beautiful, historic, modern, sunny and it never stops! An enchanting city with delightful cuisine and unforgettable sites, the city holds many pleasant surprises to visitors who wish to enjoy their stay. The capital of Portugal since its conquest from the Moors in 1147, Lisbon is a legendary city with over 20 centuries of History. The Alfama is one of the oldest quarters in Lisbon. It survived the earthquake of 1755 and still retains much of its original layout. The old quarters of Castelo and Mouraria grace the western and northern slopes of the hill that is crowned by St. George's Castle. Radiant skies brighten the monumental city, with its typical tile-covered  building façades and narrow medieval streets, where one can hear the fado being played and sung at night.
