[Tarek R. Besold]

== Call for Applications for the HLAI 2016 DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM ==

Current or potential Ph. D. students are invited to apply for admission to the Doctoral Consortium to be held at the Joint Multi-Conference on Human-Level Artificial Intelligence (HLAI) 2016, New York City, July 16-19, 2016.

Further information concerning the overall HLAI event can be found on the HLAI 2016 webpage at: http://www.hlai2016.org <http://www.hlai2016.org/>.

The aim of the Doctoral Consortium is to give young researchers in fields related to human-level AI research (such as, e.g., cognitive systems, cognitive AI, cognitive modelling, neural-symbolic integration, cognitive computing, computational creativity,...) a platform to meet and mingle, to discuss their ideas, to get feedback and advice from senior scientists, and to create a network for the new generation of researchers.

Applicants should submit:

1. A 2-3 pages research proposal that explains the topic you plan to pursue, including the clarification of the topic, the existing works in the direction, and your basic ideas and plan. If you already have a Ph. D. advisor, list his/her name, affiliation, and homepage.

2. A curriculum vitae with educational and professional background, including the current program and expected graduation date.

Applications should be sent by email to pei.wang at temple.edu <mailto:pei.wang at temple.edu>.

Deadline for applications: April 10, 2016

Notification of acceptance: April 30, 2016 

The accepted authors will present their proposals in the Doctoral Consortium (in the morning of July 16), and may participate in the poster session of HLAI (in the evening of July 17) if space allows.

Also, revised and expanded versions of the research proposals will be collected and published online in citable form in the Publication Series of the Institute of Cognitive Science (PICS, ISSN 1610-5389) after the event.

Students must be registered for one of the member conferences of HLAI 2016 to participate in the Doctoral Consortium. See http://www.hlai2016.org <http://www.hlai2016.org/> for a list of participating events.

Further questions can be sent to pei.wang at temple.edu <mailto:pei.wang at temple.edu>.
