ASAI, the Argentine Symposium on Artificial Intelligence, is an annual
event intended to be the main forum of the Artificial Intelligence
(AI) community in Argentina. The symposium aims at providing a forum
for researchers and AI community members to discuss and exchange ideas
and experiences on diverse topics of AI. Previous ASAI editions
stimulated presentations on both applications of AI and new tools and
foundations currently under development.

The XII Argentine Symposium on Artificial Intelligence (ASAI 2011)
will be held during  29th – 30th August 2011, in Córdoba, Argentina,
at the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional - Facultad Regional Córdoba.

ASAI 2011 will be part of the 40th JAIIO, the 40th Argentine
Conference on Informatics, organized by SADIO. JAIIO is organized as a
series of thematic symposia including topics such as software
engineering, artificial intelligence, technology, agroinformatics,
high performance computing, industrial informatics, free software,
law, health, information society, and a students contest. For more

PAPER SUBMISSION
==================
ASAI 2011 seeks original contributions in a wide spectrum of
Artificial Intelligence, ranging from state-of-the-art academic
research to industrial and business applications having a significant
impact. The symposium will consist of invited talks and regular paper
sessions presenting mature work (full papers) in theoretical research
and applications. A poster session will be devoted to the presentation
of new ideas and less mature work in general (extended abstracts).

Submissions are due before May 2nd. Submissions can be made through
the EasyChair system, the submission site will be made available soon.
Delayed submissions will most likely be rejected. All papers received
before the deadline will be peer-reviewed by referees of the area.

The submission of manuscripts must follow the format available at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
The page limit for a full paper is 12 pages. Extended abstracts
describing novel research
visions, work-in-progress or less mature results are also welcome,
with a limit of 4 pages. All contributions should be submitted in
Ghostview-readable Postscript or PDF formats. For diffusion reasons,
papers in English are strongly recommended (Spanish is also
acceptable).

Information on the format of the camera-ready copy will be forwarded
with the acceptance letter.  Each accepted paper must be presented in
the symposium, and the presenter must be registered in the conference.
