Submission details
Submitted papers must be no longer than 12 pages and must be formatted using the Springer LNCS/LNAI style. The use of the LaTeX2e style file available from Springer is strongly encouraged. Papers submitted to AI 2017 must not have already been published, or accepted for publication, or be under review for a journal or another conference. Submissions will go through a double‐blind review process by Program Committee members for originality, significance, technical merit, and clarity of presentation. A "Best Paper Award" and a “Best Student Paper Award” will be given at the conference respectively to the authors of each best paper, as judged by the Best Paper Award Selection Committee. The winners of each award will also receive a Springer monetary prize of EUR 500.
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNCS/LNAI). A paper will be accepted either as a long or as a short paper. Long papers will be allocated 12 pages while short papers will be allocated 6 pages in the proceedings. Authors of accepted papers will be allocated time for an oral presentation at the conference and will have the opportunity to present their work in a poster session. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference to present the work. Authors must agree to this requirement prior to submitting their paper for review. Expanded versions of selected papers representing mature work will be invited to a special issue of Computational Intelligence.
