The 28th Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence<\/a> invites PhD and master students to submit extended abstracts of their thesis of up to 4 pages for possible inclusion in the AI-2015 Graduate Student Symposium and the Canadian AI proceedings published by Springer. \u00a0Authors of papers that are selected will be asked to provide a 20 minute talk on their work followed by 10 minutes of questions and discussion.<\/p>\n

The Symposium provides an opportunity for students to discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives with their peers and with a panel of established researchers in Artificial Intelligence, helping to develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research.<\/p>\n

June 2 will be an exciting day for young researchers, beginning with tutorials that will run from 9:00am to 12:00 noon (please register for these separately).\u00a0 At 1:00pm the Graduate Student Symposium will begin and run until supper.\u00a0 One or both of theses meals will be provided.\u00a0 Following this will be the AI\/GI\/CRV conference reception, which will host a poster session. All GSS participants are encouraged to present posters of their work at this session.<\/p>\n

Call for Papers
\n<\/strong>The 28th Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence<\/a>, invites graduate students to submit summary (abstract) papers of their thesis research for possible inclusion in the AI 2015 Graduate Student Symposium and the AI 2015 proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the LNAI series. The Symposium provides an opportunity for Master\u2019s and PhD students to discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives with their peers and with a panel of established researchers in Artificial Intelligence, helping to develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research.<\/p>\n

The symposium will be an pre-conference event, on June 2 from 12:00-6:00pm, where students of accepted abstracts will be invited to give a presentation on their thesis work before a group of peers as well as a small team of recognized AI researchers who will offer a critique of each presentation and provide support, advice, and mentoring. The top 20 submissions will also be invited to participate a poster session on the evening of June 2 during the AI 2015 main conference reception. This will be a great opportunity to present and discuss your work with others.<\/p>\n

Graduate students are invited to submit a 4-page summary of their on-going thesis work from all areas of Artificial Intelligence. All submissions must be written in English. The paper should clearly state the research problem, the proposed solution and approach and the description of the progress to date, including significant results. Program committee members will review each submission. Presenting students will be selected based on clarity of the submission, difficulty of the problem, novelty of the solution, quality of the research, and evidence of promise such as published papers or technical reports.<\/p>\n

Papers may be up to 4 pages in length and must be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS style. Please follow the instructions for authors at Springer’s website (http:\/\/www.springer.com\/computer\/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). The use of the LaTeX2e style file available at Springer’s website is strongly encouraged.<\/p>\n

The paper submission should be accompanied by the following materials:<\/p>\n
