SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

Thirteenth International Symposium on
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and MATHEMATICS
ISAIM 2014
http://www.cs.uic.edu/Isaim2014/
January 6-8, 2014
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 15, 2013

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 thirteenth Symposium in the series, which is sponsored by the journal Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence and by Florida Atlantic University. 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. The Symposium takes place at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Fort Lauderdale. Plea!

PAPER SUBMISSION:

Paper submission will be electronic via the submission link on the Paper Submission page of the Symposium website (http://www.cs.uic.edu/Isaim2014/). Papers must be formatted in accordance with the guidelines given there.

The submission deadline is October 15, 2013 (11:59 PM PDT). Papers will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by November 15, 2013. Final versions of accepted papers, for inclusion in the conference electronic proceedings, are due by December 15, 2013.

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 chairs at the email address <isaim2014 at cs DOT uic DOT edu>.
