***Deadline Extension of the Sixth Conference on Artificial General 
Intelligence until March 8th, 2013***

*** Final Call for Papers: The Sixth Conference on Artificial General 
Intelligence (AGI-13) ***

July 31, 2013 – August 3, 2013, Beijing, China
Conference Website: http://www.agi-conference.org/2013/

* Mission *

The AGI conference series (http://www.agi-conf.org/) is the premier 
international forum for cutting-edge research focusing on the original 
goal of the AI field — the creation of thinking machines with general 
intelligence at the human level and ultimately beyond. The AGI 
conference series is held in cooperation with AAAI, and AGI-13 will 
co-locate with IJCAI-13.

* Topics *

As in prior AGI conferences, we welcome papers on all aspects of AGI 
R&D, with the key proviso that each paper should in some way contribute 
specifically to the development of Artificial General Intelligence.

* Special Session on Cognitive Robotics and AGI *

This Special Session will feature papers giving new AGI ideas inspired 
by current research in Cognitive Robotics.

* Workshops *

AGI-13 will include the following workshops:
1. Formalizing Mechanisms for Artificial General Intelligence and 
Cognition (Formal MAGIC)
2. Probability Theory or Not? Practical and Theoretical Concerns on 
Uncertainty Handling in AGI

See http://www.agi-conference.org/2013/workshops/ for details of the 
workshops.

* Tutorials / Demonstrations *

Tutorials and demonstrations will be held alongside the conference. For 
the requirements for proposals, please see the AGI-13 website.

* Confirmed Keynotes *

Thomas G. Dietterich (President-Elect of AAAI, Oregon State University)

The authors should not expect any extension of the deadlines, though 
special situations can be arranged in a case-by-case manner. If for a 
special reason your submission will be delayed for a few days, please 
contact the program committee co-chairs for advance approval.

The conference papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes 
in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. Paper templates for both LaTeX 
and Word may be found here: 
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0 . 
Use the templates for "LNCS Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes". 
The LaTeX template (use of which is preferred) is also given directly 
here: ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip.

Papers must be in English, and submitted in PDF format. There are two 
types of submissions:
1. Full papers (up to 10 pages): Original research in the above areas.
2. Technical Communications (up to 4 pages): Results and ideas with 
interest to the AGI audience, including reports about recent own 
publications, position papers, and preliminary results.

All accepted conference papers will be included in the proceedings, as 
well as presented at the conference as talks or as posters. At least one 
author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and 
present the paper there.

* AGI Summer School *

Collocating with AGI-13, An AGI Summer School will be held in July 17 to 
30, 2013. For details, see
