The AAAI Intelligent Systems Demonstrations program

2008-02-28T15:57:00.000+08:00

Call for Proposals
Intelligent Systems Demonstrations
Held in Conjunction with the Twenty-Third AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
July 13-17, 2008 * Chicago
http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/AAAI/aaai08.php

Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence

The AAAI Intelligent Systems Demonstrations program showcases state-of-the-art AI implementations and provides AI researchers with an opportunity to show their research in action. Implemented intelligent systems allow us not only to experimentally validate AI research, but also to make AI research accessible to each other, to the broader scientific community, and to the public at large.

Researchers from all areas of AI are encouraged to submit proposals to demonstrate their systems. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their innovation, relevance, scientific contribution, presentation, and usability, as well as potential logistical constraints. This program is primarily to encourage the early exhibition of research prototypes, but interesting mature systems and commercial products are also eligible (commercial sales and marketing activities are not appropriate in the Intelligent Systems Demonstration program, and should be arranged as part of the AAAI-08 Exhibits program). Demonstrations that can be used by the audience and/or that interact with the audience are particularly encouraged.

It is likely that this program will be part of a conference-wide poster and demonstration session one evening during the conference. Demonstration systems should be available during the entire session. Each accepted demonstration system must be attended by at least one knowledgeable representative (preferably an architect of the system) who will be available to answer in-depth technical questions at scheduled times.

Demonstration proposals must be made electronically using the form at https://www.aaai.org/Forms/isdemo-apply-form.php. In addition to contact information, proposals must include the following items. All should be submitted via the online form, unless a video is being submitted. Please send videos directly to the cochairs.

1. A two-page description in AAAI paper format of the technical content of the demo, including credits and references. These descriptions will appear in the conference proceedings.

2. A 150-word summary of the demonstration in plain text. Please include title, demonstrator names, and affiliation(s). This summary will be used to compile a program for the demonstrations. Please keep the descriptions under the 150-word limit.

3. A demo storyboard of not more than six pages total or an informal video of the demo (in MPEG or Quicktime format) that describes how the demonstration will proceed (as opposed to the technical merits of the research being demonstrated). This is the committee's primary method of evaluating your proposal. Please emphasize the elements that make your demonstration exciting and interesting.

4. A detailed description of hardware and software requirements. Demonstrators are encouraged to be flexible in their requirements (possibly with different demos for different logistical situations). Please state what you can bring yourself and what you absolutely must have provided. Generally speaking, we can provide computer monitors and peripherals such as TVs and VCRs, as well as a network connection. Each demonstration will be assigned a table-top in the exhibition area.

Demo proposals must be received in their entirety, including any supporting materials, by Tuesday, March 18, 2008. Authors will be notified of acceptance by April 2, 2008.

We especially hope that authors of papers accepted for presentation at the conference technical program will be able to demonstrate their research in the AAAI Intelligent Systems Demonstration Program. To present a system demonstration, however, the authors must still submit a proposal conforming to the above requirements by the Demonstration program deadline. Submitters who wish to demonstrate intelligent mechanical systems that interact with the real world (aka "robots") should direct their efforts toward the Robot Exhibition.

If you have any questions or comments about the AAAI Intelligent Systems Demonstration program, we encourage you to address them to the program cochairs, Holger Hoos (University of British Columbia, hoos@cs.ubc.ca) and Michael Bowling (University of Alberta, bowling@cs.ualberta.ca).

The International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design (ACSD) serves as a forum for disseminating theoretical results with application potential and advanced methods and tools for the design of complex concurrent systems. While there are already quite a few success stories in the field, there is still a strong need to bring theory and practice closer together. The conference aims at cross-fertilizing both theoretical and applied research on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
• Design methods, tools and techniques based on models of computation and concurrency (dataflow
models, communicating automata, Petri nets, process algebras, state charts, MSCs, etc.),
(performance) analysis, verification, testing and synthesis.
• Hardware / software co-design, platform-based design, component-based design, refinement
techniques, hardware / software abstractions, co-simulation and verification.
• Synchronous and asynchronous design, asynchronous circuits, globally asynchronous locally
synchronous systems, interface design, multi-clock systems, functional and timing verification.
• Concurrency issues in Systems on Chips, massively parallel architectures, networks on chip,
task and communication scheduling, resource, memory and power management, fault-tolerance
and Quality of Service issues.
• (Industrial) case studies of general interest, gaming applications, consumer electronics and
multimedia, automotive systems, (bio-)medical applications, internet and grid computing, etc.
• Concurrency issues in ad-hoc, mobile and wireless networking, sensor networks,
communication protocols, cross-layer optimization, resource, power and Quality of Service
management, fault-tolerance, concurrency-related security issues.
• Business process modeling, simulation and verification, (distributed) workflow execution,
business process (de-) composition, interorganizational and heterogeneous workflow systems,

International Conference on Biocomputation, Bioinformatics, and Biomedical Technologies
June 29 - July 5, 2008 - Bucharest, Romania Bio-oriented technologies became very popular in various research topics and industrial market segments. Current human mechanisms seem to offer significant ways for improving theories, algorithms, technologies, products and systems. A myriad of theoretical models, dedicated software solutions, and mathematical algorithms and calculi helps improving gathering and representing knowledge on human being. Bioengineering and biomedical computation and representation techniques rely on special biocomputing techniques inspired from this process. Bioinformatics itself constitutes a vast area of research and specialization, as many classical domains such as databases, modeling, and regular expressions are used to represent, store, retrieve and process a huge volume of knowledge. Large scale biosystems opened the need for specific devices, such as biomechanical, biorobotics, nanosensors, human-oriented control systems, etc. As progress is extremely fast, there is a continuous need to keep pace with the developments and achievements, as well as with challenging issues. BIOTECHNO brings together achievements and challenges for practical software and hardware support, highlighting the advances in biocomputation, bioinformatics, and biomedical technologies.

The BIOTECHNO 2008 initiates a series of events targeting traditional and advanced paradigms for biocomputation, bioinformatics, and biomedical technologies and systems.
