[PlanetKR] IJCAI-19: Call for Tutorials (due March 15, 2019)

[Mary-Anne Williams]

Call for Tutorials

IJCAI-19 invites proposals for the Tutorial Track. Tutorials will be held
on August 10-12, 2019, immediately prior to the technical conference.
Tutorial attendance is complimentary for all IJCAI-2019 conference
registrants.

Objectives

Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:


   - Introduce novices to major topics within Artificial Intelligence.
   - Introduce expert non-specialists to an AI subarea.
   - Motivate and explain a topic of emerging importance for AI.
   - Survey a mature area of AI research and/or practice.
   - Provide instruction in established but specialized AI methodologies.
   - Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AI work.
   - Introduce AI audiences to an external topic that can motivate or use
   AI research.
   - Mentor AI researchers (particularly, junior researchers) on a broad
   AI-relevant non-technical topic (examples could be AI jobs, or ethical
   issues in AI).


Tutorials are intended to cover reasonably well-established information in
a balanced way. Tutorials should not be used to advocate a single avenue of
research, nor should they promote a product. We encourage tutorials with a
hands-on component or another interactive element.

Key Dates:

Proposal Submission Deadline: March 15, 2019 (Friday)
Acceptance Notification: April 5, 2019 (Friday)
Abstracts and Tutorial Websites Deadline: April 19, 2019 (Friday)

   - A two-sentence description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in
   the conference registration brochure.
   - A two-paragraph description of the tutorial, suitable for a web page
   overview.
   - Proposed length of the tutorial: 1/4 or 1/2 day (one or two 1:45h
   slots respectively)
   - A detailed, point-form outline of the tutorial.
   - A brief characterization of the potential target audience for the
   tutorial, including prerequisite knowledge.
   - A brief description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to
   a substantial part of the IJCAI audience, and which of the above objectives
   are best served by the tutorial.
   - A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include:

Name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address

Background in the tutorial area, including a list of
publications/presentation

Citation to an available example of work in the area (ideally, a published
tutorial-level article or presentation materials on the subject)

Evidence of teaching experience (courses taught or references)

Evidence of scholarship in AI or Computer Science


Any questions about the tutorial program should be directed to the tutorial
chairs, Edith Elkind (University of Oxford) and Mary-Anne Williams
