CALL FOR PAPERS: BNAIC 2017

November 8-9, 2017, Groningen, The Netherlands

=====================================

Dear colleague,

This year, the 29th Benelux Conference on Artificial Intelligence (BNAIC
2017) is organized by the University of Groningen, Institute of Artificial
Intelligence and Cognitive Engineering, under the auspices of the Benelux
Association for Artificial Intelligence (BNVKI) and the Dutch Research
School for Information and Knowledge Systems (SIKS). BNAIC 2017 will be
held in Het Kasteel, Groningen, The Netherlands, on Wednesday 8 and
Thursday 9 November, 2017. BNAIC 2017 will include invited speakers,
research presentations, posters and demonstrations. Also, a number of
special sessions will be organized, including a ‘research meets business’
session.

Researchers are invited to submit unpublished original research on all
aspects of Artificial Intelligence. Additionally, high-quality research
results already published at international AI conferences or in AI journals
are also welcome. Four types of submissions are invited:

Type A: REGULAR PAPERS

Papers presenting original work that advances Artificial Intelligence. In
addition to papers on original work, position and review papers are also
welcomed. These contributions should address a well-developed body of
research, an important new area, or a promising new topic, and provide a
big picture view. Type A-papers can be long or short. Long papers should be
10-15 pages, short papers 6-10 pages. Contributions will be reviewed on
overall quality and relevance. Type A-Papers can be accepted for either
oral or poster presentation.

Type B: COMPRESSED CONTRIBUTIONS

Abstracts of already published work. Papers that have been accepted after
June 1, 2016 for AI-related refereed conferences or journals can be
resubmitted and will be accepted as compressed contributions. Authors are
invited to submit the officially published version (without page
restriction) together with a 2-page abstract. Type B-Papers will be
accepted for either oral or poster presentation. Authors may submit at most
one type B-paper of which they are the corresponding author.

Type C: DEMONSTRATIONS

Demonstration abstracts. Proposals for demonstration should be submitted as
a 2-page abstract together with a short video illustrating the working of
the system (not exceeding 15 minutes). Demonstrations will be evaluated
based on their originality and innovative character, the technology
deployed, the purpose of the systems in interaction with users and/or other
systems, and their economic and/or societal potential. Any system
requirements should also be mentioned.

Type D: THESIS ABSTRACTS

Abstracts of graduation reports. Bachelor and Master students are invited
to submit a 2-page abstract of their completed AI-related thesis.
Supervisors should be listed. The thesis should be accepted after June 1,
2016. Type D-papers will be judged on relevance for the conference and
originality. Type D-Papers can be accepted for either oral or poster
presentation.

Accepted contributions within all four categories will be included in the
online conference proceedings. All contributions should be written in
English, using the Springer CCIS/LNCS format (see
http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-
guidelines) and submitted electronically via EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bnaic2017). Submission implies
willingness of at least one author to register for BNAIC 2017 and present
the paper. For each paper, a separate author registration is required. We
are aiming to continue the collaboration with Springer (that started in
2016) to produce postproceedings in their CCIS series.
