[Event at CIG] Call for Papers: ASAI 2022

[Gerardo I. Simari]

ASAI - Argentine Symposium on Artificial Intelligence

The Argentine Symposium on Artificial Intelligence (ASAI) is an annual
event that has become one of the most important forums on AI of the
argentine informatics community. It is organized by the Argentine
Association of Artificial Intelligence (AAIA) and offers researchers and
practitioners in AI a space for discussion of ideas and exchange of
knowledge and experience in the wide range of topics in the field of AI.

In the context of ASAI, participation is encouraged by researchers,
educators, industry professionals and companies to contribute with articles
in the traditional format of research papers, studies of new applications
and case studies, presentation of new tools, reports on transfer
activities, or reports on practical experiences related to the topics of
the symposium. Such works can be submitted as the type described below that
is most relevant to its content. As it has been done in previous editions,
ASAI will share one day with AGRANDA, the Argentine Symposium on Big Data.

-- Submission categories and formats

Papers should be submitted in pdf format. Though English is the suggested
language, articles in Spanish will also be accepted. All papers should
follow the Springer proceedings format y must include 3-5 keywords.
Articles will be selected via a double-blind review process, so authors and
affiliations should not be reported in the document. For more details on
format and templates, please see:
https://51jaiio.sadio.org.ar/simposios/formatos

There are 6 submission categories:

* Full paper: Must include original contributions (that have not been
published previously, nor be under review elsewhere). These papers should
have a maximum length of 14 pages. Accepted papers must be presented orally
or as a poster, and will be included in the JAIIO Proceedings.



* Short paper. Works that present novel ideas that may also include
preliminary results. These papers should have a maximum length of 4 pages.
Accepted papers must be presented orally or as a poster, and will be
included in the JAIIO Proceedings.

* Data Paper. Present collections of data generated for research purposes
that are relevant to the symposium, centering specifically on describing
the dataset and its accessibility. Papers should provide details such as i)
the context in which it was gathered, ii) decisions taken for its
processing, iii) file formats, iv) data updates, and v) licensing for use
and access. Datasets should preferably be shared via platforms such as
Mendeley Data, IEEE Data Port, Zenodo, or public repositories such as Git.
These papers should have a length of 8-14 pages. Accepted papers must be
presented orally or as a poster, and will be included in the JAIIO
Proceedings.

* Demos. This kind of paper must present the results of research projects
or the development of applications or processes that are particularly novel
in the context of companies or independent professionals, focusing on the
exchange of experience acquired through practice. Papers should provide
details such as i) summary describing objectives and problems that it
solves, ii) technology used, iii) users for which it is designed, and iv) a
URL of a demo version, if available to be executed online, or alternatively
a URL of a video that shows its main features. These papers should have a
length of 2 pages. Accepted papers must be presented orally or as a poster,
and will be included in the JAIIO Proceedings.



* Oral communication. Via this type of contribution, authors may inform the
community of recent publications in high-impact international journals or
conferences. These papers should have a length of 1 page, must be in
English, and should include title, name and affiliation of all authors,
abstract and name of the journal or event in which the work was published.
Accepted papers must be presented orally or as a poster, and the abstract
will be included in the JAIIO Proceedings.

* Projects, applications, or research lines that are ongoing or starting.
This type of contribution will provide a place for discussion of different
aspects of the discipline, fostering new connections between researchers
for future collaborations. Presentations will be via a short talk, and a
forum will be available for discussion afterwards. These contributions will
consist of 200 words plus additional material as considered necessary, such
as references, figures, tables, and examples. Abstracts of accepted
contributions will appear in the JAIIO Proceedings.



-- Submission

Full papers, short papers, data papers, demos, and oral communications
should be submitted via the SADIO conference management system:
https://sgc.sadio.org.ar/sgc/index.php.

Projects, applications, or research lines should be submitted via email to
asai at 51jaiio.sadio.org.ar.



At least one of the authors of accepted works (of any category) should be
registered at the conference by the author registration deadline. Papers
that do not satisfy this requirement will be removed from the proceedings.
In case of emergency, authors may provide a representative to present the
paper in the name of the authors.
