                            AISC 2018 2nd Call for Papers

       13th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Symbolic Computation
                         Suzhou, China, September 16-19, 2018
                              http://aisc2018.cc4cm.org

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.

TOPICS

Specific topics for AISC 2018 include, but are not limited to:

* Cognitive modelling and symbolic AI
* Machine learning and computational intelligence
* Data modelling and analysis
* Knowledge representation and symbolic computing
* Knowledge acquisition, search, verification, and interoperation
* Automated reasoning and knowledge discovery
* Causal inferences, uncertainty reasoning, and decision support
* Cross-disciplinary knowledge management
* Mechanization of mathematics
* Mechanized program verification and debugging
* Combination of logics and computations
* Integration of logical reasoning and computer algebra
* Symbolic computations for expert systems and machine learning
* Computer vision and computer-aided geometric design
* Computer algebra systems and automated theorem provers
* Computer-based mathematics teaching and didactics
* Programming languages and systems for symbolic computation
* Emerging fields of computational AI

Topics for the special track on Collective Intelligence include, but are not limited to:

* Human computation and collective intelligence
* Game theory and crowdsourcing computation
* Crowdsourcing software engineering
* Crowdsourcing publishing, reviewing, and competition systems

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 addressing 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.

PUBLICATION

All submissions will be formally reviewed by PC members and external referees. Decision on the SHORT paper
will be made on a rolling basis, normally about 10-15 days after submission. At least one author of each
accepted submission must register at AISC 2018. All accepted SHORT or REGULAR papers will appear in a conference
proceedings volume published by Springer in LNCS. In addition, REGULAR papers have the opportunity to be considered
for post-conference special issues of some journal.
