UAI 2016 - Call for Workshops ============================== We invite proposals for Workshops to be held in conjunction with the Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI) taking place in New York City, NY, USA, on June 25-29, 2016. The workshops will be held on June 29. These workshops present an excellent opportunity to address a specific topic of your choice, including but not limited to topics such as knowledge representation, machine learning, control, or optimization under uncertainty. We are looking for half-day or full-day workshop proposals.
Important dates ---------------------- * Workshop proposal deadline March 11, 2016. * Proposal acceptance notification March 24, 2016 * Workshop submissions due May 10, 2016 (suggested date) * Workshop author notification May 20, 2016 (suggested date) * Workshop day: June 29, 2016 Workshops offer a great format for active and interdisciplinary research on new topics. The ideal workshop covers a compelling subject of current or upcoming research, and includes an impressive set of speakers with diverse backgrounds to discuss the subject. Discussion via panels and identification of open problems and challenges are great components to include. Organization ---------------------- The format, style, and content of accepted workshops is under the control of the workshop organizers and largely autonomous from the main conference. The workshops can be up to seven hours long, split into morning and afternoon sessions. Workshop organizers are expected to manage the workshop content, specify the format, invite experts in the domain, be present to moderate the discussion and panels, and maintain a website for the workshop. Workshop registration will be handled centrally by the main conference. Submission Instructions ---------------------- Proposals should clearly specify the following: * Workshop title * Specific topics to be addressed * Motivation and Relevance * Goals and expected outcomes * Potential list of invited speakers * List of related publications * Characteristics of the workshop, including length (full / half day) and structure * Main workshop organizer and other organizers (with short bio) * Workshop URL Workshop proposals should not exceed five single spaced pages and should be submitted via email in PDF format to uai2016.worksh...@gmail.com by March 11, 2016 (earlier submissions are encouraged as well).
