CfP: GCAI 2019 (5th Global Conference on Artificial Intelligence)

-----------------------------------------------------------------


The 5th Global Conference on Artificial Intelligence (GCAI 2019) will be
held in Bolzano, 17-19 September 2019.  The core objective of GCAI 2019 is
to bring together the two main souls of AI, namely symbolic reasoning and
machine/deep learning, applied to both software and robotic systems.

See https://gcai2019.inf.unibz.it/

GCAI 2019 will be held as part of the Bolzano Rules and Artificial
INtelligence Summit (BRAIN 2019).  With a special focus theme on
"beneficial AI", BRAIN 2019 aims at presenting the latest advancements in
AI and rules and their adoption in IT systems towards improving key fields
such as environment, health and societies.  Submissions that address this
theme within the general topics of GCAI are especially welcome.

See https://brain2019.inf.unibz.it/


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

GCAI 2019 accepts submissions of two types:

- Full paper submissions, which must be original and cannot be submitted
simultaneously elsewhere.  Full paper submissions must be at most 12 pages
long, excluding references. Additional support material may be included in
an appendix, which may be considered or ignored by the program committee.

- Extended abstract submissions, which report on ongoing or preliminary
work, or on work that is central to symbolic reasoning and/or machine/deep
learning applied to both software and robotic systems, but that has already
been submitted or recently published elsewhere as a full paper (in the case
of an already published paper, the full version has to be referenced
explicitly). Extended abstract submissions must be at most 4 pages long,
excluding references.

Both types of submissions must be prepared in LaTeX or Microsoft Word using
the EasyChair templates, and uploaded in PDF format. Submissions not
complying with these guidelines will be rejected at the discretion of the
program committee.

Each submission will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.

Abstracts are due on 14 June 2019, full papers and extended abstracts are
due on 21 June 2019, and decisions will be made by 26 July 2019.
