Typical symposia last for one or two days, and can include any type of event of academic benefit: talks, posters, panels, discussions, demonstrations, outreach sessions, etc.

Proposals for Symposia are welcomed in all areas of AI and cognitive science.  Some suggested areas are shown below, although ANY proposal in the field of AI or cognitive science will be welcomed:

- Knowledge Representation
- Computational theory of mind
- Computational Intelligence
- The Turing Test and Philosophical Foundations of AI
- Consciousness
- Human and Machine Creativity
- Simulation of Human and Animal Behaviour
- Ethics of AI
- Machine Learning
- Cognitive Neuroscience
- Robotics

Proposing a Symposium
Each symposium is organized by its own programme committee. The committee proposes the symposium, defines the area(s) and structure for it, issues calls for abstracts/papers etc., manages the process of selecting submitted papers for inclusion, and compiles an electronic file for inclusion in the convention proceedings.

Proposers are welcome to submit, or be involved with more than one proposal.

Proposers need not already be members the AISB and will not be required to become members. They will of course be encouraged to join!

Deadline for symposium proposals: 7th September 2012

Notification of acceptance: 31st September 2012
