Friday, October 16: Tutorial Proposals due for AAAI-10

Dear AAAI Members,

AAAI-10 Tutorial Forum cochairs Russell Greiner (University of Alberta) and Thomas Lukasiewicz (Oxford University) invite you to submit a proposal for the AAAI-10 Tutorial Forum, to be held July 11-12 in Atlanta, Georgia. The Tutorial Forum provides an opportunity for junior and senior researchers to spend two days each year freely exploring exciting advances in disciplines outside their normal focus. This type of forum is essential for the cross fertilization, cohesiveness, and vitality of the AI field. The Tutorial Forum promotes the continuing education of each member of the AAAI.

Each proposal should include at least the following:

Goal of the tutorial: Who is the target audience? What will the audience walk away with? What makes the topic innovative?

Content: Detailed outline and list of additional materials, augmented with samples, such as past tutorial slides and survey articles, whenever possible. Be as complete as possible.

Tutorial description: A short paragraph summarizing the tutorial outline, and the intended duration of the symposium (default is four hours).

Prerequisite knowledge: What knowledge is assumed of the target audience.

* Information about the team of presenters: Name, mailing address, phone number, e-mail address; background in the tutorial area, including a list of publications and/or presentations; any available examples of work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level article or presentation materials on the subject); evidence of teaching experience (courses taught or references); and evidence of scholarship in AI or computer science.

Tutorial proposals should be submitted by October 16 to the tutorial cochairs, Russell Greiner (russ.greiner+Tutorial@gmail.com) and Thomas Lukasiewicz (Thomas.Lukasiewicz@comlab.ox.ac.uk). Decisions will be made by November 30.
