FOR
IDEAS

=====================================================================

                                             AI*IA 2014
Doctoral
Consortium
                                            Pisa, Italy,
December 11th,
2014

=====================================================================

The Doctoral Consortium is a full-immersion occasion, for
Ph.D. students, to discuss their ongoing
research work, establish research connections with peer
researchers, and receive first-class
mentorship from domain experts.


The Call for Ideas aims at collecting new and high-impact
research ideas coming from young
researchers actively involved in the fields of Artificial
Intelligence. The primary aspect evaluated in
 this call is the level of innovation and research impact
of the proposals rather than their maturity.

=====================================================================
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
A.I. for Society and Economy
Big Data
Cognitive Systems
Complex Networks
Computer Vision
Data Mining and Machine Learning
Formal Methods for AI
Information Extraction
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Multi-agent Systems
Natural Language Understanding
Ontologies
Philosophical Perspectives
Planning and Scheduling
Robotics
Search Methodologies
Uncertainty

=====================================================================
REVIEWING PROCESS
The call is organized in two different phases. During the
first one, the ideas are collected and
evaluated according to the first deadline. Only some ideas
will be selected and associated to a
senior researcher. Then, groups of people will be formed
to work with the senior researcher and
the proposal's authors. The senior researcher will finally
help the group to present a document for
 the workshop.
The aim of this reviewing process is to allow young
researchers to meet and work with people they
 do not know (and so building new relationships and
exchanging new ideas), under the
supervision of a senior researcher.
This way, groups will work to bridge the gap between novel
and promising ideas and their actual
 success in terms of proposed methodology and scientific
impact. At workshop time, each group
 will have the opportunity to further discuss the ideas.
The authors of the selected ideas will be asked to present
a document containing the results of
 the feedback given by the senior researcher. The
camera-ready submissions will be collected
after the workshop, so that authors will be able to
include feedbacks received during the open
discussion on the workshop day.

=====================================================================
EVALUATION CRITERIA
The evaluation criteria used by the committee to measure
the quality of the research idea will be
the following:
 - Ground‐breaking nature of the idea and relevance
of the problem
The extent to which the idea addresses important
challenges in the AI field and sets suitably
ambitious objectives, which go substantially beyond the
current state of the art.
 - Methodology and proposed solution
The feasibility of the proposed scientific approach and
the quality of the proposed solution.
 - Potential impact
The extent to which the results and the new knowledge may
have a significant impact on the
academic community and/or on non‐academic sectors.

=====================================================================
SUBMISSIONS
All submissions must be written in English and must be
formatted according to the information for
LNCS Authors. The only accepted format for submitted ideas
is PDF. The maximum submission
length is 2 pages for the idea proposal and 10 pages for
the final document. The submission
process will be handled electronically by means of the
Easychair system. For detailed
submission instructions please refer to this page:
http://aiia2014.di.unipi.it/dc/instructions

Accepted ideas will be included in the workshop
proceedings published on-line by CEUR and will
also be indexed by DBLP. The authors of the accepted ideas
must attend the workshop to
present the idea and must be registered to the AI*IA
symposium.
