************* PAPER DEADLINE EXTENSION: MAY 15 **************
=============================================================

KI 2017 is the 40th edition of the German Conference on Artificial 
Intelligence organized by the Fachbereich Künstliche Intelligenz der 
Gesellschaft für Informatik. KI traditionally brings together academic 
and industrial researchers from all areas of AI, providing an ideal 
place for exchanging news and research results of intelligent system 
technology. The technical program of KI 2017 will comprise paper and 
poster presentations and a variety of workshops and tutorials.

KI 2017 will take place in Dortmund, Germany, September 25th-29th, 2017, 
and is a premier forum for exchanging news and research results on 
theory and applications of intelligent system technology.

You are invited to submit original research and application papers on 
all aspects of AI research, including but not limited to the following:

- Agent-based and multi-agent systems
- AI applications and innovations
- Belief change
- Cognitive modelling, AI and psychology
- Commonsense reasoning
- Computer vision
- Constraint satisfaction, search, and optimization
- Diagnosis and configuration
- Evolutionary computation
- Game playing and interactive entertainment
- Information retrieval, integration, and extraction
- Knowledge engineering and ontologies
- Knowledge representation and reasoning
- Knowledge discovery and data mining
- Machine learning
- Multidisciplinary AI
- Natural language processing
- Nonmonotonic reasoning and default logics
- Philosophical foundations of AI
- Planning and scheduling
- Recommender systems
- Robotics
- Uncertainty in AI
- Web and information systems

We especially welcome application papers that provide novel insights on 
the interplay of AI and the real world, as well as papers that bring 
useful computational technologies from other areas of computer science 
into AI.

======== Invited Speakers and Historical Session ========
We are proud to announce keynote speeches by the following invited speakers:
* Gerhard Brewka (Universität Leipzig)
* Luc De Raedt (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven)
* Pierre Baldi (University of California in Irvine)

Being the 40th anniversary of the German Conference on Artificial 
Intelligence we are also planning a special "Historical Session" with a 
podium discussion and several short talks by further invited speakers on 
the history of AI in general and in Germany. More details on this 
session will be made available soon.

======== Workshops and Tutorials ========
The main program of the conference is complemented by a workshop and 
tutorial program:
* Workshop: Planen und Konfigurieren
* Workshop: AI challenges for humanoid soccer-playing robots
* Workshop: Forgetting in Artificial Intelligence
* Workshop: ZooOperation Competition
* Workshop: Intelligent Systems for Industry 4.0
* Workshop: Deduktionstreffen
* Workshop: Formal and Cognitive Reasoning
* Tutorial: Defeasible Reasoning for Description Logics
* Tutorial: Knowledge Representation and Reasoning with Nilsson-style 
Probabilistic Logics

For details on submitting workshop papers see the individual workshop 
webpages linked  from the conference webpage (http://ki2017.tu-dortmund.de).

======== Paper Submission ========
We invite papers, which have to be in English and formatted according to 
the Springer LNCS style, in the following two categories

* Full technical papers (12 pages max., excluding references) are 
expected to report on novel research that makes a substantial technical 
contribution to the field. Additional details may be included in an 
appendix, which, however, will be read at the discretion of the PC.

* Technical communications (6 pages max., excluding references) can 
report on research in progress, or other issues of interest to the AI 
community. Examples of work suitable for technical communication paper 
submissions include: novel ideas whose scope is not large enough for a 
full paper: important implementation techniques; novel interesting 
benchmark problems; short experimental studies; interesting applications 
that are not yet completely solved or analysed; position or challenge 
papers; etc. Technical communication submissions are especially invited 
for software demonstration or PhD work in progress.

Submission will be through the EasyChair conference management system:

   http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ki2017

All papers will be subject to blind peer review based on the standard 
criteria of relevance, significance of results, originality of ideas, 
soundness, and quality of the presentation. All accepted papers will be 
published in the main conference proceedings, and will be presented at 
the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper must register 
for the conference and present the contribution.  The KI 2017 
proceedings will be published by Springer as a volume of the LNAI 
(Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence) series.

======== Important Dates ========
Workshop/Tutorial proposals: Jan 30th, 2017
Workshop/Tutorial notification: Feb 6th, 2017
Full/Short Paper submission: May 15th, 2017 ** extended deadline **
