**

**

The AIMSA conference series has provided a biennial forum for the 
presentation of Artificial intelligence research and development since 
1984. The conference, which is held in Bulgaria, covers the full range 
of topics in Artificial Intelligence and related disciplines and 
provides an ideal forum for international scientific exchange between 
Central/Eastern Europe and the rest of the world.

**

As its name indicates, the conference is dedicated to Artificial 
Intelligence in its entirety. However, for AIMSA 2012, we would like to 
put the emphasis on the application and leverage of Artificial 
Intelligence technologies in the context of knowledge creation, 
accessing, acquiring, and sharing to empower individuals and 
communities. A number of AI techniques play a key role in responding to 
these challenges. Artificial Intelligence is extensively used in the 
development of systems for effective management and flexible and 
personalized access to large knowledge bases, in the semantic web 
technologies that enable sharing and reuse of and reasoning over 
semantically annotated resources, in the emerging social semantic web 
applications that aid humans to collaboratively build semantics, in the 
construction of intelligent environments for supporting (human and 
agent) learning, etc. In building such intelligent applications, 
Artificial Intelligence techniques are typically combined with results 
from other disciplines such as the social sciences, distributed systems, 
databases, digital libraries, information retrieval, service oriented 
applications, etc.**

All submissions will be subject to academic peer review by at least two 
members of the program committee. Selection criteria include accuracy 
and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of results, and 
quality of presentation.

For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to attend the 
conference to present the paper.

*IMPORTANT DATES*

*Submission deadline: June 03, 2012*

*Notification of acceptance: June 24, 2012*

*Deadline for camera-ready: July 07, 2012*

*Conference: September 13-15, 2012*

*SUBMISSION DETAILS*

Papers have to be submitted electronically (in PDF format) to the 
address: Allan.Ramsay at manchester.ac.uk 
<http://mail50.abv.bg/app/servlet/sendmess?ac=sab&to=Allan.Ramsay@manchester.ac.uk>

Papers should be written in English and should be no more than 10 pages, 
font Times 11pt. Authors are requested to follow the LNCS Style. The 
first page should contain the title of the paper, names and addresses of 
all authors (including e-mail), an abstract (100-150 words) and a list 
of keywords.

Submissions should describe original research. Papers accepted for 
presentation at AIMSA 2012 cannot be presented or have been presented at 
another meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers 
that are being submitted to other conferences must indicate this on the 
title page, as must papers that contain significant overlap with 
previously published work.

Over lengthy or late submissions will be rejected without review. 
Notification of receipt and acceptance of papers will be sent to the 
first author.

*PROCEEDINGS*

The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture 
Notes in Artificial Intelligence subline of the Lecture Notes in 
Computer Science series.

*LANGUAGE*

The official language of the conference is English.

*LOCATION*

AIMSA will be held at the Golden Sands Tourist Complex, 18 km from the 
north-east of Varna and 24 km from Varna airport. More information is 
available in the brochure at the conference web site.
