CALL FOR SYMPOSIA PROPOSALS: deadline 16 September 2019
AISB convention 2020 (AISB-2020): Communication and conversation
6 – 9 April 2020, St Mary’s University, Twickenham, London, UK
The society for the study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (the AISB) annual convention will be held at St Mary’s University, Twickenham in London, UK from 6 - 9 April 2020. This year the theme broadly covers topics in language, communication and conversation, though symposia on other topics are also welcome.
The convention will follow the same overall structure as previous conventions, namely a set of co-located parallel symposia, as well as invited and plenary lectures and sessions. We are currently seeking proposals for these symposia. Typical symposia last for one or two days, and can include any type of event of academic benefit: talks, posters, panels, discussions, demonstrations, outreach sessions, etc. Proposals to run symposia are welcomed across all areas of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour, broadly understood. This includes interdisciplinary topics rooted in the social sciences, arts, and humanities.
Possible themes are listed below (not an exhaustive list):
Proposing a Symposium
Each symposium is organised by its own organising committee. The committee proposes the symposium, defines the area(s) and structure for it, issues calls for abstracts/papers etc., manages the process of selecting submitted papers for inclusion, and compiles an electronic file for inclusion in the convention proceedings. Organisers are welcome and encouraged to invite keynote speakers to their symposia, but they are also encouraged to seek external funding in order to pay keynote speakers’ registration fees and other costs. Symposium organisers and speakers will also be expected to pay registration fees.
Submissions should consist of the following
Venue
Based in the leafy Richmond borough, St Mary's University has a long and distinguished history. Established in 1850 and with a deep heritage in education, the main campus sits between rugby-famous Twickenham, and leafy Teddington. Strawberry Hill House, located in the University grounds, is Britain's finest example of Georgian Gothic Revival architecture (known locally as the Gothic Castle). The institute benefits from lots of green spaces, whilst being only a short distance from The Thames, Richmond Park, and central London (it’s just 35 minutes on the train from Waterloo).
