19th Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence
UAI-2003
First Call for Papers
August 7-10, 2003
http://research.microsoft.com/uai2003
************************************************************************
Since 1985, the Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI) has
been the primary international forum for presenting new results on the use of
principled methods for reasoning under uncertainty within intelligent systems.
The scope of UAI is wide, including, but not limited to, representation,
automated reasoning, learning, decision making and knowledge acquisition under
uncertainty. We encourage submissions that report on advances in these core
areas as well as submissions describing interesting and novel systems that
utilize techniques from these core areas.
The 19th Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence will be held
August 7-10, 2003 at the Hyatt Hotel, Acapulco, Mexico. The main technical
session will be on August 8-10, and will be preceded with a tutorial program on
August 7. The UAI-2003 is collocated with and immediately precedes the
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) which will be
held August 9-15.
Paper Submission
****************
UAI-2003 requires electronic submission of papers and abstracts according to
instructions posted at the conference home page. If authors have special
circumstances that prevent electronic submission, arrangements can be made
directly with the program co-chairs listed below.
Authors are required to submit a title and a short abstract a week before the
paper submission deadline. Submitted papers must be prepared according to the
UAI-2003 proceedings format and must be no more than eight (8) pages long,
including figures and bibliography. Papers that deviate from these guidelines
will be rejected without review. The conference home page will contain format
information and provides access to style files and templates.
Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished
work. At the time the full paper is submitted to UAI-2003, and for the entire
review period, the paper should not be under review by any other conference or
scientific journal.
Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated on the basis of originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Papers may be
accepted for presentation in plenary or poster sessions. All accepted papers
will be included in the Proceedings of the Nineteenth Conference on Uncertainty
in Artificial Intelligence, published by Morgan Kaufmann Publishers.
The program committee will select papers for special distinction in two
categories at UAI-2003: a "Best Paper" award, and an "Outstanding Student
Paper" award. The conference home page will contain instructions for certifying
student status with regards to the latter award.
