UAI 2008
24th Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence
July 9th - July 12th, 2008
Helsinki, Finland

========================================================================
The 24th Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI
2008) will take place on July 9-12, 2008, in Helsinki, Finland. UAI 2008
is co-located with COLT 2008, which takes place at the same time. Both
UAI and COLT 2008 are preceded by ICML 2008 in the same location, with
a joint UAI/ICML/COLT workshop/tutorial day on July 9th.
We encourage submissions that report on theoretical or methodological
advances in modeling, inference, learning and decision making
under uncertainty. Submissions reporting on novel and insightful
applications of these techniques within intelligent systems are also
strongly encouraged. Examples of such application areas include, but
are not limited to, computational biology, computer vision, speech
processing, computational linguistics, information retrieval, medical
systems, multi-agent systems and sensor networks.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Wednesday, February 27, 2008, midnight GMT: Abstract submission
Friday, February 29, 2008, midnight GMT: Full paper submission
Monday, March 3, 2008, midnight GMT: Student paper certification
Monday, April 21, 2008, midnight GMT: Author notification
Sunday, May 11, 2008, midnight GMT: Camera ready copy of accepted papers
PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS:
UAI 2008 requires electronic submission of papers and abstracts
according to instructions that will be posted on the conference home
page. If authors have special circumstances that prevent electronic
submission, arrangements can be made directly with the program
co-chairs listed below. Authors are required to submit a title and a
short abstract two days before the paper submission deadline. Submitted
papers must be prepared according to the UAI 2008 proceedings format
and must be no more than eight (8) pages long, including figures and
bibliography. Papers that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected
without review. The conference home page will contain format information
and provide access to style files and templates.
A submitted paper should not be under review by any other conference or
scientific journal at the time it is submitted to UAI 2008 nor at any
time during the reviewing period of UAI 2008.
PRESENTATION, PROCEEDINGS, and AWARDS:
Accepted papers will be presented at the conference in either plenary
or poster sessions. At least one of the paper's authors should be
present at the conference to present the work. All accepted papers
will be included in the Proceedings of the Twenty Fourth Conference on
Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence. The program committee will
select papers for special distinction in two categories at UAI 2008: a
"Best Paper" award, and an "Outstanding Student Paper" award. The
conference home page will contain instructions for certifying student
status with regards to the latter award.
