CALL FOR PAPERS
The third annual North-Eastern Student Colloquium on Artificial Intelligence (NESCAI) will be hosted at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) on May 2-4. Students are encouraged
to submit papers describing new or previously submitted research and
ideas in all areas of AI (see partial list below). A student must be a primary
author of all submitted research. Due to generous sponsorship, a small
$50 registration fee covers conference costs and two nights of accommodations.
NESCAI is the premier
student colloquium on AI, bringing together students from all areas of
Artificial Intelligence research. The colloquium hosts students from the U.S.
Northeast and Eastern Canada and aims to foster an exchange of ideas,
discussions and networking. NESCAI is sponsored by the Intelligent Information Systems Institute, the Department of Computer Science at Cornell
University, Yahoo Inc. and the National Science Foundation.
Important Dates:
+ Paper Submission for Review: 7 March 2008
+ Reviewer Responses and Acceptance Decision: 8 April 2008
+ Final Revision of Accepted Papers: 16 April 2008
Submission Details:
We welcome both full and short papers. All accepted papers will be presented at a poster session
and selected full papers will be accepted for talks.
FULL PAPERS (8 pages): Appendices may exceed the eight-page limit, but the reviewers
are under no obligation to read any material beyond the page limit. Full papers may be:
+ Research papers presenting previously submitted or novel research in AI
+ Conceptual papers presenting and motivating new ideas and research directions in AI
+ Survey papers summarizing the state of the art in a particular sub-field of AI
SHORT PAPERS (2 pages): Short papers may be:
+ Research abstracts
+ Progress reports on ongoing research
All submissions will
be peer-reviewed by at least two graduate students in the respective areas. We
encourage the resubmission of both previously and currently submitted papers,
as long as this is indicated by the author. We will work with authors to ensure
that copyrights held by other conferences will not be violated but we do not
anticipate any problems, as there will be no formal publication of NESCAI
proceedings.
