Special Track: Innovative Applications

Next to papers about theoretical results (in the conference's regular track), we encourage the submission of original papers about innovative applications, e.g., in law, medicine, e-democracy, risk assessment, intelligent user interfaces, recommender systems. Innovative applications papers will be assessed in an equally rigorous reviewing procedure as regular track papers.

Demonstrations

As in the previous edition, a session will be organized for the demonstration of innovative working applications and tools. Systems of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Innovative applications in law, medicine, e-democracy, risk assessment, intelligent user interfaces, recommender systems
• Argumentation-based reasoners
• Systems for generating arguments from knowledge bases
• Systems for editing, presenting and judging arguments and counterarguments
• Collaborative and social systems based on argumentation
• Simulations of dialogue-based argumentation
• Argumentation-based agents and multi-agent systems
• Decision support systems based on argumentation

All those intending to demonstrate a system can notify the demonstrations coordinator (Adam Wyner). Where a demonstration is not connected to a paper in a track, a two page extended abstract about the system can be submitted for review (deadline two weeks after regular track and innovative applications track papers). Accepted extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings. For those demonstrations that are connected to a paper in the standard track or innovative applications track, no separate statement about the demonstration should be submitted.

Submissions

We invite submission of original and unpublished work. Parallel submission to journals or other conferences or workshops with published proceedings is not permitted.

Paper submission will be managed through EasyChair and will be open between March 1 and March 30. You can indicate the submission category:

• Regular track papers (max. 12 pages)
• Innovative applications track papers (max. 12 pages)
• Demonstration extended abstract (max. 2 pages)

Authors should prepare their submission following the instructions by IOS Press.

Proceedings

The proceedings for the conference will be published by IOS Press in the "Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications" series. The length of regular track and innovative applications track papers should not exceed 12 pages, the length of demonstration extended abstracts should not exceed 2 pages.
