ASAI - Simposio Argentino de Inteligencia Artificial (17º edición)

Call for papers

 
The XVII Argentine Symposium on Artificial Intelligence (ASAI 2016) will be held during the week 5th - 9th September 2016, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and will be hosted by the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero (UNTREF) at the Borges Cultural Centre. 
ASAI is an annual event intended to be the main forum of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community in Argentina, organized by the Argentinean Association of Artificial Intelligence (AAIA). The symposium aims at providing a forum for researchers and AI community members to discuss and exchange ideas and experiences on diverse topics of AI. Submissions are invited on both applications of AI and new tools and foundations.
ASAI 2016 will be part of the 45th JAIIO, the 45th Argentine Conference on Informatics, organized by SADIO. JAIIO is organized as a series of thematic symposia including topics such as software engineering, artificial intelligence, technology, agroinformatics, high performance computing, industrial informatics, free software, law, health, information society, and a students contest.

SUBMISSIONS

1. Papers: This is the standard ASAI paper submission. Original contributions will be selected via a rigorous double-blind peer-review process. All accepted papers must be presented at the Conference and will be published in the Proceedings.  Depending on agenda constraints, some submissions will be assigned to a poster session. The submission of manuscripts must follow the format available at formatos. The recommended length for a full paper is 6 pages and the limit is 8.
Best papers will be invited for publication in the Electronic Journal of SADIO (http://www.sadio.org.ar/ejs/.

2. Communications: This is a non-standard type of ASAI contribution aimed at raising discussion on recent work. In contrast to the Proceedings track, Communications need not consist of original work. They are talks on high quality articles authored by the presenter and published in the recent past. Communications will be selected by the Program Committee based on an abstract and a list of relevant papers. Communications  should not exceed three pages.  All accepted abstracts will be published in the Proceedings.

3. Research group updates: It is aimed at strengthening the links of the local AI community by discussing about the prospects of the discipline and potentially generating partnerships for future projects. Oral presentations will be given by leaders of AI Research Groups from Argentina and the region. The talks should give a short overview of current research projects, recent scientific production, novel topics and open interests, and should be presented with a view on building bridges between research groups. Proposals will be evaluated by the Program Committee based on a one-page abstract and a list of the group recent papers in AI.
 
Submissions 1 and 2 should be made through the SADIO's conference management system. To upload your contribution you first need to register and sign in. If you have any problems, check the detailed instructions about registration and submission. Submissions for research group updates (type 3) should be made by e-mail to asai@45jaiio.sadio.org.ar. All contributions should be submitted in PDF format without the authors' names and affiliations. For dissemination reasons, the use of English language is suggested, although Spanish will also be accepted. Information on the format of the camera-ready copy will be forwarded with the acceptance letter.

Each accepted  contribution  (type 1, 2 or 3) must be presented in the symposium, and the presenter must be registered in the conference before the deadline for camera ready submissions in order to include the work in the Symposium.
