KI-2007 will include a small number of tutorials, which will be held the day before the technical program starts. They will be free of charge for participants. We aim at a small number of high-quality tutorials that are suitable for a large percentage of conference participants, including graduate students as well as experienced researchers and practitioners.
Tutorials should give a comprehensive, in-depth perspective on innovative AI methods or technologies that have an obvious potential for research and/or application and are not covered by typical AI textbooks. KI-2007 puts an emphasis on Artificial Intelligence as a part of Cognitive Science. Hence we especially encourage tutorial proposals covering cognitive aspects of AI. Do not hesitate to contact the conference or tutorial Chairs if you are in doubt about the suitability of a particular topic for the purpose. Both full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) tutorials are of interest.
KI-2007 tutorials will be held on September 10, 2007. They should preferably be given in English. The revenue for tutor(s) consists of free participation at the KI-2007 conference, plus reasonable travel support if necessary. Teaching material will be printed and distributed by the conference organization.
Proposals must contain the necessary information to judge the importance, quality and community interest in the proposed tutorial as well as the expertise of its tutor(s). Proposals must include descriptions of the tutorial goals, the intended audience, an outline of the contents, and brief CVs of the tutor(s), including their expertise and teaching experience in the field. If material is available from recent teaching about the proposed topic, proposers are encouraged to include excerpts of it as an annex of their submission.
Proposal texts should be submitted by e-mail to the Tutorial Chair, in plain text format; annexes may be in .pdf, .ps, .ppt, or .doc format.
