Download the Call for Workshops
With this call, we are inviting proposals for workshops to be held on either 24 or 28 June 2003.
Workshops provide organizers and participants an opportunity to discuss current topics in artificial
intelligence and law in a small and interactive atmosphere. Thus, any topic that is of current interest to a
sufficient number of participants from the two communities could be the focus of a workshop. Workshops
can choose to concentrate in-depth on research topics, but can also be devoted to application issues.
Workshop Participation and Publication
All workshop participants are required to register for the main conference, and must specify which workshop they are going to attend. If you intend to allow access to the workshop by invitation only, or would like to
see the number of participants limited, then please clearly indicate so.
Workshop proceedings have to be prepared camera-ready by the workshop organizers. There may be a
joint paper style for the proceedings.
In addition, there will be a joint Web-publication of all the workshop proceedings after the conference.
Hence, electronic submissions to the workshops are strongly encouraged, and the workshop organizers are
expected to provide an online version of their proceedings (a table of contents with pointers to postscript
versions of the papers is sufficient).
How to propose a workshop
Workshop proposals should contain the necessary information for the workshop chairs and reviewers to
judge the importance, quality and community interest in the proposed topic. Each workshop should have
one or more designated organizers and workshop program or organizing committee. When proposing a
workshop, please provide (at least) the following information:
Description of the workshop topic and goals. Why do you believe this is an interesting and significant
topic, and why do you believe the workshop is best held at ICAIL 2003? What are the main goals of
the workshop, and how would participants bene t from it?
Intended audience. From which areas do you expect potential participants to come? How many
participants do you expect, can you already name some of them? How are you going to publicize your
workshop?
Organization of the workshop. Please describe the intended format of the workshop. Are you going
to schedule invited talks, presentations, panel discussions, other methods for ensuring and interactive
atmosphere? Are there any plans to document the workshop results (beyond ICAILs web publication)?
Organizers' details. Please provide complete addresses including Web pages of all organizers and
committee members. For the main organizers, please indicate which background they have in the
proposed topic.
Please submit your workshop proposals by e-mail to both ICAIL 2003 workshop chairs.
