[Anni-Yasmin Turhan]

[Apologies, if this reaches you more than once.]


Dear all,

KI 2015 is the 38th edition of the German Conference on Artificial 
Intelligence which traditionally brings together academic and industrial 
researchers from all areas of AI. The technical program of
KI 2015 will comprise paper and poster presentations, a variety of
workshops, a doctoral consortium and a summer school. For more 
information, please see: www.tu-dresden.de/inf/ki2015.

We invite proposals for workshops to be held at the beginning of the
conference week (21./22. of September). Topics include all subareas of
artificial intelligence as well as their foundations and applications.


    How to Propose a Workshop

Proposals should be PDF documents of up to two pages and sent by email
to the KI 2015 Workshop Chair. They should be formulated in English
language and must be send to

       Anni-Yasmin.Turhan at tu-dresden.de

by 30th of January 2015. Each workshop proposal should provide the
following information:

   - Description of workshop topic and goal. This description should
   discuss the relevance of the suggested topic and its interest to the
   general AI community and the KI 2015 audience.

   - Names and affiliation (including email and web address) of the
   workshop organizer(s).  Please indicate the primary contact person
   for KI 2015.

   - Describe the organizers' background regarding the workshop topic.

   - How many participants do you expect? How do you plan to attract
   enough participants for the workshop?

   - A brief description of the workshop format regarding the mix of
   events such as paper presentation, invited talks, panels,
   demonstrations, and general discussion.

   - Do you expect the workshop to be a full-day workshop or a half-day
   workshop?


Workshop organizers will be responsible for:

   - producing a call for papers. The call is due February 20th,
   2015. This call will be posted on (/ linked from) the KI 2015
   website. Organizers are responsible for additional publicity such as
   distributing the call to relevant newsgroups and mailing lists, and
   especially to potential audiences from outside the KI conference
   community.

   - maintaining a workshop web site with updated information about the
   workshop.

   - producing of the workshop notes. The workshop organizers
   coordinate the collection, production and distribution of the
   working notes for the workshops. KI 2015 strongly encourages to have
   the workshop notes included in the collection of papers on the
   KI-2015 proceedings USB stick that will be distributed to all
   KI-participants. In case, the workshop organizers wish to include
   their working notes, the final versions of the workshop papers need
   to be collected no later than 30th of August 2015.

The KI 2015 conference organizers will provide logistic support and
meeting places for the workshops as well as determine the dates and
times of the workshops.
