Ki 2008

KI 2008 is the 31st edition of the German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, which traditionally brings together academic and industrial researchers from all areas of AI. The technical programme of KI 2008 will comprise paper and poster presentations and a variety of workshops and tutorials. The tutorials will be held the day before the technical program starts. Tutorials will be free of charge for conference participants. We aim at a small number of high-quality tutorials suitable for a large percentage of conference participants , including graduate students as well as experienced researchers and practitioners. Contents 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. We especially encourage tutorial proposals covering cogni-tive 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.
