The Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAEPIA) is an international forum open to all researchers. In its program CAEPIA'11 includes workshops, tutorials and presentations of works related to Artificial Intelligence. As in previous editions, the objectives are to facilitate the dissemination of new ideas and experiences, strengthen links between different research groups involved, promote the transfer of knowledge between researchers and new consolidated groups and help disseminate new developments to society.

CAEPIA will also be open to pre-doctoral work, and there will be a special call for this type of work through the Doctoral Consortium. This event is specially designed for the interaction of doctoral students and senior researchers.

To achieve the proposed objectives, authors are requested to send original unpublished works, that describe relevant research about topics related with Artificial Intelligence from all points of view: formal, methodological, technical or applied. Works can be submitted in Spanish or English in LNCS format (Springer).

CAEPIA'11 will use a double blind-review process. The authors will remove their names from the submitted papers and must take responsibility for the originality of the work and send it in the proper format.

 
CONTRIBUTIONS

CAEPIA papers (Main track)
 

• Submitted technical papers must be no longer than 10 pages, including all figures and references, and must be formatted according to LNCS guidelines. The submitted paper will represent original research, with solid, well-founded or demonstrable results on any of the conference topics. Accepted papers will be assigned a 15 or 20 minutes slot for oral presentation at the conference. Submitted papers will be assigned to an area chair and reviewed by at least three program committee members.

Doctoral Consortium papers

• We encourage the submissions of preliminary works from PhD students. These works will be presented in special sessions at the conference. The objective is to foster a fruitful debate between the candidate and the audience. The length of these papers should not exceed 4 pages and will be orally presented during 15 minutes. The authors of accepted papers as pre-doctoral work will enjoy special benefits to attend the conference.

Doctoral Consortium papers

• Submission of papers: September 1, 2011
• Notification of acceptance/rejection: October 1, 2011
  
• Camera-ready copy due: October 15, 2011
• Technical sessions: November 7 - 11, 2011
  

Predoctoral work sessions (DC) are intended to foster interaction between graduate students and researchers come together in CAEPIA. Students whose papers are accepted will have the following benefits:

• The opportunity to present their research in a special session within the conference DC.
• The opportunity to address the invited talks in the Special Session DC, specifically aimed at PhD students.
• A special rate for accommodation in a student residence.

To participate in working sessions scientists (DC) is required:

1. Send an email to the DC Chair ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) in order to be admitted.

 2. The tutor of the candidate must also send an email to the DC Chair ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) to confirm the data provided by the PhD student.

3. If the PhD student is not an author or co-author of a paper accepted at the main conference (CAEPIA), send an article to the description of its research and results, and future work. The item must be in PDF format and LNCS style and must have a maximum of 4 pages. Each article should include the name of the PhD student and their tutors. Can be written in English or Spanish. Shipments are made through the main form (CAEPIA11).


Pre-doctoral work will be reviewed by the Committee on Predoctoral Jobs.

PROCEEDINGS

Accepted paper will be published in the two volumes of CAEPIA proceedings that will be given to all the attendants to the conference. The two volumes will be as follows:

• One volume published by Springer-Verlag in its Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series, will contain a selection of the best papers accepted by the program committee. In order to be included in this volume papers should be submitted in English.

• One volume published by the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence that will contain all the accepted papers not included in the previous volume. This includes CAEPIA paper and Doctoral Consortium papers.
