AISB 2013 will be held at the University of Exeter, UK from the 2nd to
the 5th April 2013. For more information on the convention please see
the website at http://www.aisb.org.uk/events/aisb13.

The AISB 2013 convention will follow the same overall structure as
previous conventions, namely a set of co-located symposia and we are
seeking proposals for these symposia. Typical symposia last for one or
two days, and can include any type of event of academic benefit: talks,
posters, panels,
discussions, demonstrations, outreach sessions, etc.

Proposals for Symposia are welcomed in all areas of AI and cognitive
science. Some suggested areas are shown below, although ANY proposal in
the field of AI or cognitive science will be welcomed:

- Knowledge Representation
- Computational theory of mind
- Computational Intelligence
- The Turing Test and Philosophical Foundations of AI
- Consciousness
- Human and Machine Creativity
- Simulation of Human and Animal Behaviour
- Ethics of AI
- Machine Learning
- Cognitive Neuroscience
- Robotics

Proposing a Symposium
Each symposium is organized by its own programme committee. The
committee proposes the symposium, defines the area(s) and structure for
it, issues calls for abstracts/papers etc., manages the process of
selecting submitted papers for inclusion, and compiles an electronic
file for inclusion in the convention proceedings.

Proposers are welcome to submit, or be involved with more than one
proposal.

Proposers need not already be members the AISB and will not be required
to become members. They will of course be encouraged to join!

Deadline for symposium proposals: 7th September 2012

Notification of acceptance: 31st September 2012
