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 new 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. 
Technical communication submissions are especially invited for software 
demonstration or PhD work in progress.
Submission will be through the EasyChair conference management system. 
All papers will be subject to blind peer review based on the standard 
criteria of relevance, the significance of results, originality of 
ideas, soundness, and quality of the presentation. If you have used the 
EasyChair conference management system before, you can use the same 
username and password. If this is your first time using EasyChair, you 
will need to register for an account by clicking ‘I have no EasyChair 
account’ button. Upon completion of registration, you will get a 
notification email from the system and you are ready for submitting your 
paper. You can upload and re-upload the paper to the system by the 
submission due date. Paper submission is electronic. To submit, please 
prepare a PDF file of your paper, a short abstract in plain text, and a 
list of two to five keywords. Submission is possible via the following link:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ki2018

All accepted papers will be published in the main conference proceedings 
and will be presented at the conference. The KI 2018 proceedings will be 
published by Springer as a volume of the LNAI series (Lecture Notes in 
Artificial Intelligence). At least one author of each accepted paper 
must register for the conference and present the contribution.

The most outstanding submission will be recognized with a best paper 
award at the conference.
