The tutorial Programme has now been announced

Call for Tutorial Proposals (CLOSED)

The IJCAI-05 Program Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial Program. Tutorials will be held July 30-31, immediately prior to the technical conference. Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:

• Motivate and explain a topic of emerging importance for AI
• Survey a mature area of AI research and/or practice
• Provide instruction in established but specialized AI methodologies
• Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AI work

To broaden and improve the topic coverage provided, we also invite suggestions as to what tutorial topics and presenters might be welcome. Individuals with ideas or suggestions for possible tutorial topics and/or suggested candidate presenters are encouraged to email them to tutorials05@ijcai.org. Suggestions will be kept entirely confidential.

Important Dates for Tutorials

Requirements for Submission

Those interested in presenting a tutorial should submit a proposal to the IJCAI-05 Tutorial Chair, Bob Givan. A tutorial proposal should contain the following information:

• A two sentence description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the conference registration brochure.
• A two paragraph description of the tutorial, suitable for a web page overview.
• A detailed outline of the tutorial.
• A characterization of the potential target audience for the tutorial, including prerequisite knowledge. Indicate which of the above objectives are best served by the proposed tutorial.
• A description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to a substantial part of the IJCAI audience.
• A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include:
  • name
  • postal address
  • phone and fax numbers
  • e-mail address
  • background in the tutorial area
  • citation to an available example of work in the area - ideally, a published tutorial-level article on the subject
  • evidence of teaching experience - with references addressing proposer's presentation ability

Tutorials are intended to cover reasonably well established information in a balanced way - not to advocate a single avenue of research or promote a product.
