AISB-95

Postgraduate workshop

2 days: April 3-4, 1995

Many postgraduate students become academically isolated as a result of working in specialised domains within fairly small departments. This workshop is aimed at providing a forum for graduate students in AI, Cognitive Science and any aspect of the Simulation of Behaviour to present and discuss their ideas with other students in related areas. In addition there will invited presentations from a number of prominent researchers in AI and in Cognitive Science.

A series of presentations and group discussions are planned, including study for and completion of theses, life after a doctorate, paper writing, conference attendance and how to make use of your supervisor. These are provisional subject to requests from prospective attendees.

All attendees should expect to present an introduction to their research during the workshop.

Attendance is by invitation.

Tutors will include:

Participation

Applicants are asked to submit a two-page abstract of their current work. Some selected extended abstracts or full papers may be considered for publication in AISB Quarterly.

Please send 2-page abstract before 27th January to the principal organiser.

Electronic submission (plain ascii text) is highly preferred, but hard copy submission is also acceptable.

Cost and Funding

The attendance fee for the workshop has not yet been fixed, but in the two previous years has been #50 and #55 for AISB members. The SERC and ESRC will consider re-imbursement of expenses for their students; re-imbursement will depend on your supervisor's approval of attendance at the workshop.

The number of places is restricted, so hurry!
