[AISWorld] [CFP] AI*IA 2018 - Call for Tutorials Proposals

[AIxIA 2018]

17th International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial
Intelligence (AI*IA 2018)
Trento, November 20-23, 2018

First Call for Tutorials Proposals

----------------------------------------------------------------
Topics of Interest
----------------------------------------------------------------

AI*IA is the premier venue for presenting innovative systems and research
results related to Artificial Intelligence, attracting a large number of
high quality submissions every year and participants from both industry and
academia. AI*IA brings together researchers from different areas, such as
artificial intelligence, databases, natural language processing,
information systems, human computer interaction, information retrieval, web
science, etc., who investigate, develop and use novel methods and
technologies concerning the Artificial Intelligence research field.

In addition to the regular research and workshop program, AI*IA 2018 will
experiment for the first time a tutorial program addressing the diverse
interests of its audience: Artificial Intelligence practitioners that wish
to learn about new technologies, novices to the Artificial Intelligence
interested in introductory tutorials to key topics, government and industry
representatives focusing on the applicability of Artificial Intelligence
technologies in practical settings.

We hereby invite you to submit a tutorial proposal on a research topic
relevant to the AI*IA 2018 audience.
Each tutorial will be a half-day event of about 3-3.5 hours.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Review Criteria
----------------------------------------------------------------

The decision on acceptance or rejection of tutorial proposals will be made
on the basis of the overall quality of the proposal and its appeal to a
reasonable fraction of the Artificial Intelligence community.

In particular, tutorials should satisfy each of the following criteria:
- the research topic falls in the general scope of the conference.
- there is a clear focus on a specific technology, problem or application.
- there is a sufficiently large community interested in the topic.


We expect proposals for the following types of tutorials:
- Tutorials providing an introduction to well established Artificial
Intelligence aspects.
- Tutorials describing the cross link between Artificial Intelligence
technologies and other disciplines/application domains.
- Tutorials presenting specific Artificial Intelligence technologies and
trends.

Additionally, we expect tutorials to have practical parts in terms of
examples or preferably exercises / hands-on sessions to be carried out by
the participants.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Submission Guidelines
----------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal submissions should be done via Easychair (

- Motivation: Why is the topic timely and of particular interest to AI*IA
participants? What is the relation of this tutorial to other similar
tutorials presented at other events? (One to three paragraphs)
- Detailed Description: Length (full day or half day), overview of content
and schedule, description of learning outcomes, presentation style,
tutorial format, justification of length if full day (why a half-day
tutorial would not suffice), prior knowledge required by the attendees (No
longer than two pages)
- Tutorial Material: Overview of the material used for the tutorial. In
case of slides, handouts or other teaching material please specify when the
material will be made available and how (e.g, under a CC license to anyone,
only to the attendees, not at all, and so on) (One to three paragraphs).
- Audience: Who and how many people are likely to attend? (One paragraph).
- Presenters: Name, affiliation, email address, homepage and short (One
paragraph) biography of each chair, their expertise in the tutorial topic
as well as their experiences in teaching and in tutorial presentation.
Please indicate which presenter is the primary contact. (One to two
paragraphs per presenter)
- Related events (if the tutorial was presented before in a similar form):
Link to previous event(s) and materials. The number of attendees of the
previous event(s). Why is it relevant to continue the tutorial in 2018?
