KI 2014 is the 37th edition of the German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, which traditionally brings together academic and industrial researchers from all areas of AI, providing a premier forum for exchanging news and research results on theory and applications of intelligent system technology. The technical program of KI 2014 will comprise paper and poster presentations and a variety of workshops and tutorials. KI 2014 will take place in Stuttgart, Germany, September 22-26, 2014 and will be co-located with Informatik 2014 (Annual Conference of the German Informatics Society) and MATES 2014 (The 12th German Conference on Multi-Agent System Technologies). The conference invites also workshops and tutorials from all areas of AI, its fundamentals, its algorithms, its history and its applications. This is the call for workshop and tutorial proposals at KI 2014.


===== Workshops =====

Together with the main conference, we plan to organize a small number of high-quality workshops. We especially encourage workshop proposals organized by AI Special Groups (GI-Fachgruppen), workshops that bring together researchers from different disciplines, and workshops that highlight emerging topics of AI research. Workshops will be at the beginning of the conference. We are interested in submissions of full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) workshops. They should preferably be given in English.

A workshop proposal should cover the following aspects: (1) Introduction to and motivation of the workshop topic, (2) name of organizers (and possibly of the organizing special group), contact address, (3) program committee, (4) list of possible attendees, expected number of attendees, (5) workshop format (half/full day) (6) webpage of the workshop with submission format details (after acceptance). Please send workshop poposals to the KI 2014 workshop and tutorial chair, Frieder Stolzenburg <fstolzenburg at hs-harz.de>.
