Subject: AAAI student abstract and poster program
Content-Type: text

Dear fellow AI researcher,
soon, AAAI will send you the official call for participation for the
student abstract and poster program, that is part of the National
Conference on Artificial Intelligence. Many students do not know about
this program (although I sent many student members of the AAAI some
information already). I am therefore asking you for your help. Could
you please encourage your students to submit abstracts?
I believe that this program provides a great opportunity for students
to showcase early results, meet other students with similar interests,
introduce themselves to more senior researchers, and attend the main
conference, which allows them to learn more about the emerging
research in the field. It is therefore important to me that all
students that are interested in artificial intelligence know about the
student abstract and poster program.
The program is open to all students that have not yet completed their
Ph.D. degree. The submitted abstracts will be reviewed, and the
accepted abstracts will be presented in a poster session during the
conference. They will also be allocated one page in the conference
proceedings. Participants in the program are also eligible to apply
for the scholarships that AAAI provides to students who volunteer
their services at the main conference.
If you or your students have any questions about the program, please
do not hesitate to contact me.
I really appreciate your help!
Cheers,
Sven Koenig

Student Abstract and Poster Program
Call for Participation
AAAI-99 invites submissions to the student abstract and poster
program. The goal of this program is to provide a forum in which
students can present and discuss their work during its early stages,
meet some of their peers who have related interests, and introduce
themselves to more senior members of the field. The program is open to
all pre-Ph.D. students. Nonstudent advisors or collaborators should be
acknowledged appropriately, as coauthors or otherwise. However,
students are requested to honor the spirit of the program by
submitting only work for which they are primary investigators.
Summary of dates:
* Authors must submit six (6) printed copies of a two-page abstract
describing their research to arrive at the AAAI office no later than
January 20, 1999. Authors are also requested to submit a URL of a
location where reviewers can access complementary material about the
student's research.
* Notification of acceptance or rejection of submitted abstracts will
be mailed to the author by March 12, 1999.
* Camera-ready copy of accepted abstracts will be due by April 6,
* 1999.
Summary of Format:
* Submissions must be printed on 8 1/2 x 11 inch or A4 paper using 12
point type (10 characters per inch for typewriters). Each page must
have a maximum of 38 lines and an average of 75 characters per line
(corresponding to the LaTeX article-style, 12 point).
* All abstracts must be no more than two pages, not including the
bibliography. The first two pages must include the following: title;
the primary author's full name, affiliation, postal address, phone
number, e-mail address, and URL, if available; all co-authors' full
names and affiliations; text; and any figures, tables, or diagrams. Up
to one additional page may be used exclusively for the bibliography if
necessary.
* Papers exceeding the specified length and formatting requirements
are subject to rejection without review.
Submissions to AAAI-99 or Other Conferences
Students are free to submit abstracts for work reported in a regular
paper submitted to the AAAI-99 or another conference, but not for work
that has already been published. Abstracts will be accepted or
rejected for the student session regardless of the outcomes of related
paper submissions.
Publication
Accepted abstracts will be allocated one (1) page in the conference
proceedings. Students will be required to transfer copyright of the
abstract to AAAI.
Poster Session
Accepted abstracts will be allocated presentation time and space in
the student poster display area at the conference. Student authors of
accepted abstracts must agree to prepare a poster representing the
work described in their abstracts and to be available to discuss their
work with visitors during their allocated time in the student poster
display area.
