MAICS 2012 - The 23rd Midwest Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science Conference

The MAICS conference started as a relatively small regional conference that traditionally accepts papers from all areas of artificial intelligence, cognitive science and computational intelligence, including fuzzy logic, computational linguistics, automated reasoning, knowledge representation, learning and philosophy of mind.
Graduate students and junior faculty are especially encouraged to submit papers. The broad range of topics together with the fact that usually only a limited number papers are accepted, and plenary presentations by well known scientists, make the MAICS conference a very special event. In recent years MAICS has also attracted a significant interest from international participants.
Papers in all areas of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science are invited. Submitted papers may present significant final results or describe interesting research in progress. Participation of younger researchers and graduate students is specially encouraged. All submitted papers are peer reviewed for the proceedings publication and conference presentations.
Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:
Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks, Soft Computing, Computational Intelligence, Intelligent Systems, Natural Language Processing & Understanding, Computational Linguistics, Uncertainty Management, Logic and Reasoning, Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning, Computational Theories of Learning, Web Intelligence Applications, Decision Support Systems, Data Mining & Visualization, Knowledge Representation & Management, Kansei Engineering.
Conference Proceedings
Accepted papers are to be published in the conference proceedings as a volume of CEUR Workshop Proceedings. As a result of this, the proceedings will be ISSN numbered and indexed by DBLP. Authors retain their copyrights for their individual papers. The volume (i.e. the proceedings) is published and copyrighted by its editor(s).
A copy of printed proceedings is planned to be provided to every on-site participant.
International Participation
MAICS, despite its regional focus, attracts international participants and paper submissions. We offer limited supports to international participants.
Fast-track paper review: available ONLY for international authors who need visas to enter US. International authors who do not need visas OR who plan to present papers via teleconference must follow the regular deadlines. A visa acquisition support letter will be issued together with their notification.
Teleconference oral presentation option. This should eliminate travel concerns such as the cost and visa.
