                              AISC 2018 Call for Papers 

                           13th International Conference on 
                   Artificial Intelligence and Symbolic Computation 
                         Suzhou, China, September 16-19, 2018

OVERVIEW

AISC is a forum for the exchange of ideas and the presentation of new tools 
and solutions at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Symbolic 
Computation. It aims to foster contacts and collaborations among researchers 
from different fields related to AI and Symbolic Computation. The conference 
is concerned with all aspects of research, including theory, implementations, 
and applications. 

AISC 2018 takes a broad view of AI that includes non-traditional areas such 
as machine/deep learning and their interactions with logic and symbolic 
reasoning. It will also have a special track on Collective Intelligence. 

Conferences in this series are usually held every two years. The previous 
five took place in Sevilla (Spain), Paris (France), Birmingham (United 
Kingdom), Beijing (China), and Linz (Austria). AISC 2018 will take place in 
Suzhou, China.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES 

Original research papers in English, including experimental work and work in 
progress are welcome. The following types of submissions are invited.

* Regular papers: maximum 15 pages.

* Short papers: maximum 5 pages that address the following aspects explicitly.
- Problem: what is the problem/question/objective?
- Motivation: why are we working on the problem and what is its importance?
- State of the art: what has been done already on the problem?
- Contribution: what is the main original contribution?
- Main idea: what is the main idea underlying the contribution?

Additional information:

* The submissions should indicate whether they are submitted as short or 
  regular papers as part of their titles (see the AISC webpage for 
  instructions). Aside from this they should follow the standard 
  Springer LNCS Proceedings format.
* Electronic submission as PDF should be via EasyChair at
  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aisc2018.
* Accepted papers must be presented at the conference.
* If you have any problems with the submission of your paper, or questions 
  concerning AISC 2018 or EasyChair, please contact aisc2018 at easychair.org.
