[DMANET] ISAIM 2012 - Submission Deadline Extended

SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED

Twelfth International Symposium on
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and MATHEMATICS
ISAIM 2012
http://www.cs.uic.edu/Isaim2012/
January 9-11, 2012
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

NEW PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Monday, October 3, 2011

The International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics
(ISAIM) is a biennial meeting that fosters interactions between
mathematics, theoretical computer science, and artificial
intelligence. This is the twelfth Symposium in the series, which is
sponsored by Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence. We
seek submissions of recent results with a particular emphasis on the
foundations of AI and mathematical methods used in AI. Papers
describing applications are also encouraged, but the focus should be
on principled lessons learned from the development of the application.
Traditionally, the Symposium attracts participants from a variety of
disciplines, thereby providing a unique forum for scientific exchange.
The three-day Symposium includes invited speakers, presentations of
technical papers, and special topic sessions.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS (confirmed)

Avrim Blum, Carnegie-Mellon University
Michal Feldman, Hebrew University of Jerusalem (visiting Harvard
2011-2013)
Moshe Vardi, Rice University

SPECIAL TOPIC INVITED SESSIONS:

o Computational Social Choice
-Organized by Judy Goldsmith, University of Kentucky

o Boolean and pseudo-Boolean Functions
-Organized by Endre Boros, Rutgers University, and Yves Crama,
University of Liège

o Causal Learning from Complex Data Structures
-Organized by David Danks, Institute for Human & Machine
Cognition; and Carnegie Mellon University

PAPER SUBMISSION:

Paper submission will be electronic via the submission link to
ConfMaster on the Paper Submission page of the Symposium website (/www.cs.uic.edu/Isaim2012/
). Papers must be formatted in accordance with the guidelines given
there.

The submission deadline is Monday, October 3, 2011 (11:59PM PDT).
Papers will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee. Authors
will be notified of acceptance or rejection by Friday, October 28,
2012. Final versions of accepted papers, for inclusion in the
conference electronic proceedings, are due by Monday, December 5, 2011.

Work that has already been published as of the ISAIM submission
deadline should not be submitted to ISAIM unless it introduces a
significant addition to the previously published work. However, the
ISAIM web site proceedings are not archival, so papers submitted to
ISAIM can be under review at the time of submission and can be
submitted elsewhere after ISAIM.

Authors of a selected set of papers from the Symposium will be invited
to submit full versions of their papers for inclusion in a special
volume of the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence,
published by Springer. Those invited submissions will be subject to
refereeing at the usual standards of the journal, and authors will
receive more details with the acceptance notice. Papers must of course
be new and unpublished to be considered for the special volume.

Any questions regarding paper submission should be sent to the program
committee chair at the email address <isaim2012 at cs DOT uic DOT edu>.
