==================================================================================== Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals at KI-2012 ==================================================================================== KI 2012, the 35th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, invites workshop and tutorial proposals from all areas of AI, its fundamentals, its algorithms, and its applications. Together with the main conference, we plan to organize a small number of high-quality workshops and tutorials that any participant, whether graduate student or experienced researcher and practitioner, may attend. *General Information* Workshops will be free of charge for conference participants and will be held on the first day of the conference. We are interested in submissions of full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) workshops. They should preferably be given in English. Tutorials will be free of charge for conference participants and will be held at the first day of the conference. Tutorials will be free of charge for conference participants and will be held on the first day of the conference. We are soliciting proposals for full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) tutorials as well as mini-tutorials (1.5 hours). Tutorials should preferably be given in English. The KI 2012 conference organizers will provide logistic support and meeting rooms for the workshops and tutorials and will determine the dates and times of the workshops. Working and teaching material will be printed by the conference organization. Workshop volumes are limited to a total of 200 pages. *How to Propose a Workshop* Proposals should be prepared in PDF, or plain ASCII (two pages) and sent by email to the KI 2012 Workshop Chair. Each workshop proposal should provide the following information: - Description of workshop topic and goal. - This description should discuss the relevance of the suggested topic and its interest to the general AI community and the KI 2012 audience. - Names and full addresses (including email and web address) of the workshop organizer(s). This can be a single person or a group of persons. Please indicate the primary contact person for the workshop to KI 2012. Strong proposals include organizers who bring differing perspectives to the workshop topic and who are actively connected to the communities of potential participants. - Names and affiliation of the members of the Program Committee. - For which areas of AI do you expect to draw participants for your workshop and how many participants do you expect? How do you plan to invite participants for the workshop? - A brief description of the workshop format regarding the mix of events such as paper presentation, invited talks, panels, demonstrations, and general discussion. - Do you expect the workshop to be a full-day workshop or a half-day workshop? - A list of important dates (submission deadline etc.) for the workshop. Workshop organizers will be responsible for: - Producing a call for participation. This call will be posted on the KI 2012 website. - Organizers are responsible for additional publicity such as distributing the call to relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences from outside the KI conference community. - Submissions of the workshop papers will be handled by the workshop organizers. Please make sure that you have a proper review process. - Organizers are encouraged to maintain their own web site with updated information about the workshop. - Coordinating the production of the workshop notes. The workshop organizer coordinates the paper collection, production and distribution of the working notes for the workshops. *How to Propose a Tutorial* Tutorials should give a comprehensive, in-depth perspective on innovative AI methods or technologies that have an obvious potential for research and/or application and are not covered by typical AI textbooks. Proposals for tutorials should be submitted to the tutorial chair, Wolfgang Maass [wolfgang.maass@iss.uni-saarland.de]. Prior contact with the tutorial chair is encouraged. Proposal texts should be submitted by e-mail to the Tutorial Chair in pdf or plain text format. Annexes may be sent as .pdf, .ppt, or .doc format.

The organizer(s) of approved tutorials will be responsible for advertising their tutorial, e.g., via relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences from outside the KI conference community. Organizers are encouraged to maintain their own web site with updated information about the tutorial.
