On-Line Submissions and Publication

Instructions

High-quality papers in all IAT related areas are solicited. Papers exploring new directions or areas will receive a careful and supportive review. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Note that IAT'04 will accept ONLY on-line submissions, containing PDF (PostScript or MS-Word) versions.

Research-Track submissions:

(Paper submission due: April 4, 2004)

For Research-Track submissions, papers should be limited to 7 (for a regular paper) or 4 (for a short paper) two-column pages in the Latex (or Word) style file for IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings, and will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to IAT, originality, significance, and clarity. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

We are planning a demo session at the conference. Authors who submit papers to the Research-Track are welcome to supply a demo and join the demo session.

Selected papers will be published in "Web Intelligence and Agent Systems: An International Journal" (IOS Press), "Annual Review of Intelligent Informatics" (World Scientific Publishing), or "The IEEE Computational Intelligence Bulletin", after expansion and/or revision.

Industry-Track submissions:

(Paper submission due: April 4, 2004)

• Papers should be limited to 4 two-column pages in the Latex (or Word) style file for IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings.
• At least one author of each Industry-Track paper should be from an industrial company or organization.
• The paper should be about industrial or other real-world applications of IAT. A description of how the application has been conceived, developed and deployed must be provided.
• Authors who submit papers to the Industry-Track are requested to supply a demo and join the demo session.
• Papers that present interesting IAT applications but do not qualify as Industry-Track submissions according to these criteria can be submitted to the Research-Track.

The conference will provide an opportunity for the authors of accepted Industry-Track papers to showcase their efforts in front of the world's IAT applications/development via a software demonstration.

All papers submitted to the Industry-Track will also be reviewed by the Program Committee, and each accepted Industry-Track paper will be allocated 2-4 pages in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

Demo-Track submissions:

(Paper submission due: May 10, 2004)

• Papers should be limited to 2 two-column pages in the Latex (or Word) style file for IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings.


• The paper can be authored by people from either industry or academia.

The conference will provide an opportunity for the authors of accepted Demo-Track papers to showcase their efforts in front of the world's IAT applications/development via a software demonstration.
