The Consortium is designed for students currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program, though we are also open to exceptions (e.g., students currently in a Master’s program and interested in doctoral studies). Students at any stage in their doctoral studies are encouraged to apply, since contributions describing both mature and preliminary work are welcome. The Consortium will provide doctoral students in AI with the opportunity to present their research directions and being involved into state-of-the-art research, through discussion sessions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics of Interest ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applicants are expected to be conducting research in the field of Artificial Intelligence; topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * AI and digital entertainment * AI applications * AI architectures * AI in Learning Environments * Big Data * Cognitive modeling * Cognitive Robotics * Constraint Satisfaction * Experimentation of Combinatorial Algorithms * Human Computer Interaction * Information Agents * Information Retrieval and Extraction * Knowledge Acquisition * Knowledge Engineering * Knowledge Representation * Learning in adaptive systems * Machine Consciousness * Machine learning * Mathematical Foundations * Metacognition in Artificial Agents * Multiagent Systems, Distributed AI * Natural Language Processing * Ontologies * Philosophical Foundations * Planning and Scheduling * Reasoning * Robotics * Search * Semantic Web * Smart Cities * Soft and Evolutionary Computing * Temporal Reasoning * Uncertainty * Vision * Web and Data Mining ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Instructions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We invite the submission of research papers, where a special attention should be dedicated towards the contextualization of the contribution within the research area it belongs to, as well as to how the contribution fits within the Ph.D. program. We accept original, unpublished works not submitted elsewhere, as well as papers already published. All submissions must be written in English and must be formatted according to the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), please refer to http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0.
