IJCAI-2016 Second Call for Tutorials 25th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) New York, USA, during July 9-15, 2016 http://ijcai-16.org/index.html
*** Submission deadline for Tutorial Proposals: November 20, 2015 *** IJCAI-16 invites proposals for the Tutorial Track. Tutorials will be held on July 9-11, 2016, immediately prior to the technical conference. Attendance of the tutorials will be included in the IJCAI-16 conference registration fee and will not incur any additional fees. Objectives: Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives: • Introduce novices to major topics of Artificial Intelligence. • Introduce expert non-specialists to an AI subarea. • Motivate and explain a topic of emerging importance for AI. • Survey a mature area of AI research and/or practice. • Provide instruction in established but specialized AI methodologies. • Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AI work. • Introduce AI audience to an external topic that can motivate or use AI research. • Mentor AI researchers (particularly, junior researchers) on a broad AI-relevant non-technical topic (examples could be AI jobs, or ethical issues in AI). We especially encourage tutorials with a hands-on component. Key dates: Proposal Submission Deadline: November 20th, 2015 Acceptance Notification: January 8th, 2016 Title, Abstract, and Speaker Biography Deadline: March 4th, 2016 Syllabus and Course Handouts Posted: June 10th, 2016 IJCAI-15 Tutorials: July 9--11, 2016 Submission Instructions: Tutorial proposals should be submitted at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/T2016 Proposals must be in PDF, and contain the following information: • A two-sentence description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the conference registration brochure. • A two-paragraph description of the tutorial, suitable for a web page overview. • A detailed outline of the tutorial. • A characterization of the potential target audience for the tutorial, including prerequisite knowledge. • A description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to a substantial part of the IJCAI audience, and which of the above objectives are best served by the tutorial. • A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include: • Name, postal address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail address • Background in the tutorial area, including a list of publications/presentations • Citation to an available example of work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level article or presentation materials on the subject) • Evidence of teaching experience (courses taught or references) • Evidence of scholarship in AI or Computer Science Tutorials are intended to cover reasonably well-established information in a balanced way. Tutorials should not be used to advocate a single avenue of research, nor should they promote a product.
