Special Track on Spatio-Temporal Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Casa Marina Resort and Beach Club
Key West, Florida
May 7-9, 2007
In cooperation with
The American Association for Artificial Intelligence
Description
Reasoning about space and time is a major field of interest in many
areas of theoretical and applied AI, especially in the theory and
application of temporal and spatial models in planning, high-level
navigation of autonomous mobile robots, natural language
understanding, temporal databases, and concurrent and distributed
programming.
The Special Track on Spatio-Temporal Knowledge Representation and
Reasoning focuses on research and development aspects in the area of
reasoning about models of space and time. We are seeking submissions of
papers that describe original results addressing issues such as the
following:
- Representation of and reasoning about spatial or temporal information
- Spatial and spatio-temporal cognition
- Spatio-temporal reasoning over multiple granularities
- Ontologies for spatio-temporal reasoning
- Reasoning with imprecise or incomplete spatio-temporal knowledge
- Spatio-temporal data mining
Submissions
Interested authors should format their papers according to the
FLAIRS author instructions.
The papers must not exceed 6 pages and are due by November 20, 2006.
Authors should indicate that they submit to the Special Track on
Spatio-Temporal Knowledge Representation and Reasoning. All submissions
will be done electronically via FLAIRS web submission system.
Notification of acceptance will be mailed around January 21, 2007.
Authors of accepted papers will be expected to submit the final
camera-ready copy of their full papers by February 11, 2007.
Conference Proceedings
Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the
conference proceedings which will be published by AAAI Press.
