Summary
The Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence
(CAEPIA) is the forum where
the research community working on AI meets together to present and
discuss their research and
developments. The 11th Conference will be held in Santiago de

researchers to disseminate their
research work, to strengthen the relationships among the AI research
groups, and to facilitate the
contact between new researchers and consolidated groups. Submissions of
contributing, original
and previously unpublished work are invited in all areas of Artificial
Intelligence.

must consist of original, relevant and previously unpublished sound
research results related
to any of the topics of the conference.
* Short papers: A maximum length of 4 pages, which will be
presented in ~10 minutes.
They must be original on-going research related to the topics of the
conference.
* Doctoral consortium: PhD students are invited to present the
topic as well as the state-of-

experts. The length of these
papers should be no longer than 4 pages.
Along with the notification of acceptance, the program committee may
suggest to the authors a
change in the type of submission, after analyzing the scientific and
technical quality, and the
relevance of the contribution.
Submissions are accepted in Spanish and English.
Publication
All accepted papers (full and short) will be published in the conference
proceedings which are
edited by the organization (with ISBN).
After the conference, authors of full papers will be invited to send a
new version of their work in
English. This version may contain the latest updates. It will be
reviewed again by the program
committee and published by an international well-known publisher.
At least one author of each paper must register for the conference
before the early registration
deadline. The acceptance of the paper implies its oral presentation at
the conference.
Awards
As a recognition of the research work, there will be awards to the best
full paper (CAEPIA), the
best on-going research (Doctoral Consortium or Short Paper) and the best
application.
Workshops
The goal of the workshop program is to provide a forum where new
research can be presented in a
more focused way. Also it is an ideal place for PhD. Students, young
researches or new
practitioners, in order to obtain feedback from specialists in the field.
People interested in organizing a workshop within the conference are
kindly invited to send a
proposal description before May 13th, including:
1. Title
2. Brief description (up to 1.000 words/two pages), goal and topics
3. Organizers, program committee, selection process, planned
activities and potential number
of participants.
4. Workshop format, reviewing process and estimated number of attendees.
Tutorials
We invite interested people to send proposals of tutorials before May,
13th. The proposals are
opened to new formats in order to allow the combination of traditional
tutorials with other
activities, such as Discussion Rooms and Panel Sessions. Further details
can be found in the website:
http://www-gsi.dec.usc.es/caepia05/tutorials.
Proposals for tutorials should contain:
* A brief description of the tutorial, including: goals,
justification of why the tutorial is
important, detailed program, required support and resources (hardware,
software, Internet
connection, etc.), background knowledge required and targeted audience.
* Information about the tutorial speakers including name, address,
affiliation, email, phone,
and a brief Curriculum Vitae, including background in the tutorial area,
previous experience
and publications related to the tutorial topic.
* A list of the support material to be given to tutorial attendees.
Together with the slides used
for the presentation, having a technical paper describing the content of
the tutorial is
strongly advised
