Call for Papers
Special Track on Spatio-Temporal Reasoning
Grand Bay Miami Hotel
Coconut Grove, Florida
15th-17th May 2008
In cooperation with the
Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence
and with the support of the
Department of Computer Science
at the
University of Miami.
Good news! The submission deadline has been extended to 21st November.
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 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
- Granularity of different representation formalisms
- Ontologies for spatio-temporal reasoning
- Reasoning with imprecise or incomplete spatio-temporal knowledge
- Spatio-temporal data mining
- Spatial and temporal databases
Submissions
Submitted papers must be original, and not submitted concurrently to a
journal or another conference. Full papers may be up to 6 pages, and
poster papers up to 2 pages. Papers must be in
AAAI format,
and submitted as PDF through the
EasyChair conference system.
Fake author names and affiliations must be used on submitted papers, to
provide double-blind reviewing. (N.B. Do not use a fake name for your
EasyChair login - your EasyChair account information is hidden from
reviewers.)
The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the AAAI. Authors of
accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright
of their contribution to AAAI. An author of each accepted paper is
required to register, attend, and present the paper at FLAIRS.
- Paper submission deadline: 21st November 2007
- Notification of paper decisions: 21st January 2008
- Final version of papers due (to AAAI): 21st February 2008
