ECAI 2016 - call for tutorial proposals

[Suzan Verberne]

(apologies for cross-posting)CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

The ECAI 2016 (www.ecai2016.org) Organizing Committee invites proposals for
tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. Under the general
theme of “AI for human values”, ECAI 2016 will be held in the city of The
Hague, in sight the Peace Palace, seat of the International Court of
Justice. This location is highly appropriate to the conference theme. The
tutorials will be scheduled on August 29-30.

As in former editions, tutorial participation is free for all conference
participants in order to encourage high participation rates in the
tutorials.
Format and application

In addition to “standard” half-day tutorials, ECAI 2016 will also feature
“spotlight” tutorials, organized in a single 90-minute slot each. Spotlight
tutorials are meant to address emerging areas, techniques, methodologies
and perspectives in AI. Standard tutorials are meant to cover rather
established areas of AI such as Machine Learning, Knowledge Representation,
Natural Language Processing and others, as well as, in particular, topics
in the overlap of such areas.

Applications must be made via EasyChair at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecai2016-tutorials (to be opened
soon)

They should include a 2-page abstract, indicating title, topic and
motivation for the tutorial, intended audience, preferred format (standard
or spotlight), relevance to the ECAI community, list of previous venues and
audience numbers for related tutorials, specific equipment requirements,
and a short bio of the presenter(s), including name, affiliation, email
address and website. Notice that we might ask you to switch to the other
format for organizational reasons.
Important Dates

   -

   Tutorial  proposal submission: 18 January 2016
   -

   Tutorial  proposal notification: 15 February 2016

Areas

The tutorial should concern artificial intelligence and its applications.
We welcome tutorials about both well established areas, as well as up and
coming topics.
Policy on multiple submissions

We encourage proposals of brand new tutorials, as well as tutorials that
have already been successfully offered before, or that are also being
proposed to other venues (e.g., other major AI conferences). In that case,
the application should include a complete list of such venues.
Benefits

For each full tutorial 1 free conference registration to ECAI 2016 will be
available. Giving a tutorial is an excellent way to gain visibility, to
build your professional network, and is seen as an important service to the
community.
Cancellation

Please understand that we may have to cancel a tutorial if not enough
participants register or if deadlines are not met. At least 10 participants
need to be registered by the early registration deadline to guarantee that
the tutorial goes ahead.
Inquiries

Direct all your inquires to the tutorial chairs Sophia Ananiadou and Leon
van der Torre via  tutorial-chairs at ecai2016.org
