FLAIRS 2002
The 15th International FLAIRS Conference
Pensacola, Florida
Crown Plaza Pensacola Grand Hotel
May 16-18, 2002
Call for Special Track Proposals
"Deadline for submission of proposals on July 27, 2001"
As the Special Tracks Coordinator of FLAIRS 2002, I would like to
invite AI researchers to propose a special track for the 2002
International FLAIRS Conference, to be held at the Crown Plaza
Pensacola Grand Hotel, Pensacola, Florida, May 16-18, 2002. A special
track usually consists of presentation of papers in an AI
subdiscipline or special field, refereed by researchers and
practitioners in the field. Unlike workshops, where position papers
and reports on initial and intended work are appropriate, papers
selected for a special track should report on significant unpublished
work suitable for publication as a conference paper.
If you are interested in proposing a special track, please send me a
brief proposal as described below, by the deadline. The FLAIRS
organizing committee will respond to you on the acceptance of the
proposal by August 15, 2001. We expect this timetable to provide
sufficient time for publicity of the special tracks.
If you know of some AI colleague who might be interested in proposing
a track, please share this announcement with her/him or send me the
e-mail address of the colleague.
The conference will provide an umbrella for running all special
tracks. This entails affiliation with a well-known and well publicized
conference, in addition to all the logistics of actually holding such
a meeting. In the past, successful special tracks have gone on to be
special issues of journals upon the initiative of the track program
committee.
Find below list of four items to be included in your proposal to
organize a special track, a detailed list of guidelines and
responsibilities of track organizers for your information, important
dates, and a (nonrestrictive) list of suggested topics. Please contact
me with any questions that are not answered by the information below,
or if you would like to find out more about proposing a special track
for FLAIRS 2002.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Rosina Weber
FLAIRS 2002 Special Tracks Coordinator
