18th Conference on Uncertainty in AI
UAI-2002
First Call for Papers
August 1-4, 2002
http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~uai02
************************************************************************
Since 1985, the Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial
Intelligence (UAI) has been the primary international forum for
presenting new results on the use of principled methods for
reasoning under uncertainty within intelligent systems. The scope
of UAI is wide, including, but not limited to, representation,
automated reasoning, learning, decision making and knowledge
acquisition under uncertainty. We encourage submissions to
UAI-2002 that report on advances in these core areas, as well as
those dealing with insights derived from the construction and use
of applications involving reasoning under uncertainty.
The 18th Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence will
be held in August, 2002 at the University of Alberta, Edmonton,
Canada. The main technical session will be on August 2-4, and will be
preceded with a tutorial program on August 1st. The UAI-2002 venue
is in close proximity to several other conferences, including KDD
(July 23-25), AAAI (July 28 - August 1), and ISMB (August 3-7).
Paper Submission
****************
UAI-2002 requires electronic submission of papers and abstracts
according to instructions posted at the conference home page.
If authors have special circumstances that prevent electronic
submission, arrangements can be made directly with the program
co-chairs listed below.
Authors are required to submit a title and a short abstract a
week before the paper submission deadline. Submitted papers must
be prepared according to the UAI-2002 proceedings format and must
be no more than eight (8) pages long, including figures and
bibliography. Papers that deviate from these guidelines will be
rejected without review. The conference home page contains format
information and provides access to style files and templates.
Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously
unpublished work. At the time the full paper is submitted to
UAI-2002, and for the entire review period, the paper should not
be under review by any other conference or scientific journal.
Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated on the basis of
originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of
exposition. Papers may be accepted for presentation in plenary or
poster sessions. All accepted papers will be included in the
Proceedings of the Eighteenth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial
Intelligence, published by Morgan Kaufmann Publishers.
The program committee will select papers for special distinction in
two categories at UAI-2002: a "Best Paper" award, and an "Outstanding
Student Paper" award. The conference home page contains instructions
for certifying student status with regards to the latter award.
