Call for workshop proposals for JSAI-isAI 2022

Call for workshop proposals for JSAI-isAI 2022

The 14th JSAI International Symposia on AI (JSAI-isAI 2022) will take place at Kyoto International Conference Center, Kyoto, Japan, on June 12 through 14, 2022. JSAI-isAI is an event that hosts multiple international workshops at the same location, providing a unique and intimate forum for colleagues in a focused discipline. JSAI-isAI also provides an important opportunity for AI researchers to get together and share their knowledge.

JSAI-isAI 2022 will be held in conjunction with JSAI annual conference (JSAI2022). We hope the participants of the symposium also enjoy events in JSAI2022 such as invited talks and international sessions.

JSAI invites proposals for the 14th JSAI-isAI. While we suppose to hold a symposium on site, we also welcome a workshop that will be held online only or with hybrid style. For online/hybrid style, we will provide workshop organizers with Zoom rooms and some equipment such as speakerphones. Prospective workshop organizers should submit a proposal in Microsoft Excel format with the following information:

  • Title of the workshop
  • Objectives and scope
  • Names and contacts of key organizers (preferably, at least one of the organizers is non-Japanese)
  • A tentative list of members of the program committee
  • Expected number of papers, attendees, and preliminary workshop format
  • Workshop style: onsite / hybrid / online only

Submitted proposals will be reviewed by the JSAI-isAI 2022 Committee.

  • Selected papers will be published as post proceedings of Springer LNAI.

Notes

  • Organizers and chairs of a workshop shall have full control over the call for papers, forming of program committees, reviewing and making decisions for submitted papers, and planning the workshop program. Furthermore, they should state on the web page that the workshop is associated with JSAI-isAI 2022, for example, “with support of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence” and “in association with the 14th JSAI International Symposia on AI (JSAI-isAI 2022).” They are also responsible for preparing a short report of the workshop, that will be published in the journal of JSAI.
  • Authors should follow the authors’ guidelines of Springer and use their templates for proceedings, either in LaTeX or Word format, for preparing their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. Besides, the corresponding author of each paper must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form on behalf of all the authors. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should be identical to the one marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, it is impossible to change a list of authors of a paper.
