CALL FOR PAPERS: IJCAI-97

Timetable

Notification of receipt will be mailed to the first author (or designated author) soon after receipt. Notification of acceptance or rejection of submitted papers will be mailed to the first author (or designated author) by March 28, 1997.

Camera-ready copy of accepted papers must be received by the publisher in the USA by April 28, 1997. Note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference to present the work.

Electronic Title Page

http://www.aaai.org/IJCAI97/submit.html

There they will find a title page submission form, which they can fill in, and submit. Upon submission, they will be given a unique tracking number which should be marked on the full paper submission.

Authors who do not have access to a WWW browser with forms support should mail a printed title page to the American Association for Artificial Intelligence, whose address is at the end of this Call. This title page must arrive by January 21, 1997, and should have the following format:

author: name of first author
address: address of first author
 ...
author: name of last author
address: address of last author
title:  title of the paper
abstract: abstract
content areas: first area,..., last area

The abstract should be less than 200 words. Authors who submit printed title pages may omit a tracking number from the full paper. Also, authors who are submitting a printed title page, and who wish to avoid a second mailing, may mail their title pages and papers together, both to arrive by January 21, 1997.

We cannot accept title pages that are submitted by email or FAX.

Policy on Multiple Submissions

Paper Format

Title Page

This paper has not already been accepted by and is not currently under review for a journal or another conference, nor will it be submitted for such during IJCAI's review period.

Please do not staple the title page to the body of the paper.

Paper Body

Detailed instructions on the required format are available from IJCAI's home page on the World-Wide-Web. In addition, macros for word processing systems have been developed to faciliate the formatting of paper submissions, and will be available from IJCAI's home page:

http://ijcai.org/ijcai-97

You can also get formatting instructions and macros by sending email to info@ijcai.org; the server will respond with instructions.

Submissions must not exceed 6 pages in camera-ready format. Overlength papers will be returned without review. Each accepted paper will be allowed 6 pages in the proceedings; up to 2 additional pages may be purchased at a price of $250 per page.

Authors from countries in which access to word-processing systems is limited may submit unformatted papers. The body of these submissions must be at most 6200 words, including footnotes, figure captions, tables, appendices, and bibliography. Each half-page of figures will be counted as 500 words. Papers longer than 6200 words will be returned without review. Authors submitting unformatted papers must include a word count on the first page of their paper body.

In order to make blind reviewing possible, authors should omit their names and affiliations from the paper body. In place of their names and affiliations, they should provide the list of content areas and their paper's tracking number. (Authors without access to Web browsers, who therfore did not submit electronic abstracts, may omit the tracking number.)

Also, while the references should include all published literature relevant to the paper, including previous works of the authors, it should not include unpublished works. When referring to one's own work, use the third person, rather than the first person. For example, say "Previously, Pollack [7] has shown that...", rather than "In our previous work [7] we have shown that...." Try to avoid including any information in the body of the paper or references that would identify the authors or their institutions. Such information can be added to the final camera-ready version for publication.
