The AAAI-14 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop Program
of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence's
Twenty-Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-14).

Workshops are scheduled to be held at the beginning of the conference,
July 27-28, 2014. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to meet
and discuss issues with a selected focus - providing an informal setting
for active exchange among researchers, developers and users on topics of
current interest. Members of all segments of the AI community are
encouraged to submit proposals. To foster interaction and exchange of
ideas, the workshops will be kept small, with 25-50 participants.
Attendance is limited to active participants only. The format of workshops
will be determined by their organizers, who are encouraged to leave ample
time for general discussion. Workshops will typically be one full day in
length, although half-day and two-day proposals will be considered.
Proposal Content

Proposals for workshops should be about two (2) pages in length, and
should contain the following:

* A description of the workshop topic. Identify the specific issues on
which the workshop will focus.
* A brief discussion of why the topic is of particular interest at this time.
* A brief description of the proposed workshop format, regarding the mix
of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, and general
discussion.
* An indication as to whether the workshop should be considered for a
half-day, one, or two-day meeting.
* The names and full contact information (email and postal addresses, fax
and telephone numbers) of the organizing committee — three or four people
knowledgeable in the field-and short descriptions of their relevant
expertise. (Please specify main contact.) Strong proposals include
organizers who bring differing perspectives to the workshop topic and who
are actively connected to the communities of potential participants.
* A list of potential attendees.

Workshops are an excellent forum for exploring emerging approaches and
task areas, for bridging the gaps between AI and other fields or between
subfields of AI, for elucidating the results of exploratory research, or
for critiquing existing approaches. Because workshops are intended for
focused exploration of special topics, topics that are already the subject
of regular meetings are not appropriate.

Workshop Organization

Workshop organizers will be responsible for the following:

Producing a call for participation. The Call is due January 8, 2014. This
Call will be posted on the AAAI web site. 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 AAAI community. Organizers are encouraged to maintain their
own web site with updated information about the workshop.

Selecting participants. Workshop attendance is by invitation of the
organizers. Selection of attendees will be made by the organizers on the
basis of submissions due April 10, 2014. Workshop organizers will need to
provide AAAI with a preliminary list of the participants by May 1, 2014.

Coordinating the production of the workshop notes. AAAI coordinates the
collection, production, and distribution of the technical reports or
working notes for the workshops. Workshop papers and abstracts must be
received by AAAI no later than May 15, 2014, and volumes are limited to a
total of 200 pages.

Workshop organizers who want to publish the papers from their workshop (or
significant portions of it) will have the opportunity to do so through the
AAAI Press. The Press (which retains the right of first refusal to
publish) will furnish details of its program to interested organizers and
authors.

AAAI will provide logistical support, and meeting places for the
workshops, and will determine the dates and times of the workshops. AAAI
reserves the right to drop any workshop if the organizers miss the above
deadlines. Workshops are not to be used as a vehicle for marketing
products. A reduced workshop registration fee will be offered to AAAI-14
technical program registrants.

Proposal Submission

Workshop proposals should be submitted to the workshop cochairs at
aaai14ws at gmail.com as soon as possible and must be received no later than
November 1, 2013. PDF format is preferred. Organizers will be notified of
the committee's decision by December 6, 2013. Please address inquiries
concerning workshop submissions to aaai14ws at gmail.com.
