Submission Process and Schedule


     * Authors are invited to submit their paper, written in English, of 
up to 10 pages, presenting the results of original research or 
innovative practical applications relevant to the conference. Practical 
experiences with state-of-the-art AI methodologies are also acceptable 
when they reflect lessons of unique value to the conference attendees.
     * Shorter works, up to 6 pages, to be presented in 10 minutes, may 
be submitted as SHORT PAPERS representing work in progress or suggesting 
possible research directions. (Please, indicate "short paper" 
exclusively in the comments text-area of the submission form).
     * All papers will have to be submitted electronically through the 
web-based system, http://www.di.uniba.it/iea-aie/submission.html
following the instructions therein. Paper submission is required by 
November 8, 2004. All papers will be formally peer reviewed. 
Notification of the results of the review process will be made by 
January 17, 2005; final copies of papers for inclusion in the
conference proceedings will be due by February  25, 2005
     * All submitted papers must be (strictly) in PDF format.
The papers must be prepared in MS Word or LaTeX, complying to Springer's 
LNCS style (see the typesetting guidelines mentioned below).
All papers must provide a key word list including one or more of the 
topics listed above.
     * The bundle of the final version of the accepted papers will 
require the sources used during the preparation as well as the files of 
the figures, etc...
     * The conference proceedings, published in a bound volume by 
Springer-Verlag in their 'Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence' 
series will be available at the conference (see the typesetting 
guidelines at the publisher's site 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
     * Referees will be asked to nominate papers for a Best Paper award 
to be announced at the conference. All papers, but particularly those 
nominated for the Best Paper competition, will be automatically 
considered for publication in an expanded form in the International 
Journal of Applied Intelligence.
