IJCAI-17 Call for Papers
26TH INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
MELBOURNE, VIC, AUSTRALIA, 19-25 AUGUST 2017
ijcai-17.org
The Program Committee of the Twenty-sixth International Joint Conference on
Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-17) invites the submission of technical papers
for the main technical track of the conference which will be held in Melbourne,
Australia, from August 19th to August 25th, 2017. Submissions are invited on
significant, original, and previously unpublished research on all aspects of
artificial intelligence. All papers will receive mindful and rigorous reviews.
For nearly a half-century, IJCAI has remained the premier conference bringing
together the international AI community in communicating the advances and
celebrating the achievements of artificial intelligence research and practice.
With the current explosive interest in AI and its applications, this 26th
edition of the conference is guaranteed to provide an exciting forum to present
and hear about cutting-edge research in AI.
SPECIAL TRACK ON AI & AUTONOMY
A special theme of IJCAI-17 is Autonomy. While autonomy has been a focus of interest in the research community for many years, recent developments in the adoption of artificial intelligence and other technologies across many different areas of endeavour have brought new challenges or have made real those that until now had been largely abstract and theoretical. The increasing number of major corporations developing autonomous cars, the use of autonomous vehicles in the sea and in the air, the proliferation of drones for different purposes including military ones, and the availability of personal assistants via the desktop or smartphone are just some examples of the ways in which these challenges are facing us in everyday life. In recognition of this trend, and in support of addressing some of these challenges, this Special Track seeks to foster discussion and debate around the issues brought forward by this new generation of technologies and applications. We seek papers that address
or consider the challenges across multiple different dimensions: Technical, Philosophical, Legal, and Social.
OTHER TRACKS
The scientific program of IJCAI 2017 will also contain Workshops, Tutorials,
Demonstrations, Robotic Exhibitions, a Doctoral consortium, and will host
different software, video, and robotics competitions.
CO-LOCATED CONFERENCES
Several other AI events will be held in Melbourne and other parts of Australia
close to these dates, offering attendees a variety of choices for an extended
itinerary. These events will include the International Conference on Principles
and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP), the International Conference on
Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT), International
Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP), the Australasian Joint Conference on
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Australasian Conference on Data Mining (AusDM),
International Conference on Knowledge Science, Engineering, and Management
(KSEM); all to be held in Melbourne. The International Conference on Machine
Learning (ICML) will also be held
in Sydney Australia shortly before IJCAI 2017.
CONFERENCE VENUES
The conference will be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre,
a space that has won numerous awards for its architecture and interior design.
Conveniently located on the banks of the Yarra River the convention centre is
within walking distance of the city centre and a wide range of restaurants and
hotels, with options suitable for all budgets. The workshops and tutorials will
be held at close by RMIT University, one of the largest universities in
Australia. There is a free tram that runs between RMIT and a block away from
the convention centre.
