The goal of this program is to provide a forum in which students can present and discuss their work during its early stages, meet some of their peers who have related interests, and introduce themselves to more senior members of the field. The program is open to all pre-PhD students. Non-student advisors or collaborators should be acknowledged appropriately, as coauthors or otherwise. However, students are requested to honor the spirit of the program by submitting only work for which they are primary investigators. Requirements for Submission Authors must submit six (6) printed copies of a two-page abstract describing their research to the AAAI office by January 24, 1994. Abstracts received after that date will be returned unopened. Notification of receipt will be mailed to the author. All inquiries regarding lost abstracts must be made by February 7, 1994. Notification of acceptance or rejection of submitted abstracts will be mailed to the author by March 11, 1994. Camera-ready copy of accepted abstracts will be due about one month later. Abstract Format All six (6) copies of a submitted abstract must be clearly legible. Neither computer files nor fax submissions are acceptable. Submissions must be printed on 8 1/2" x 11" or A4 paper using 12 point type (10 characters per inch for typewriters). Each page must have a maximum of 38 lines and an average of 75 characters per line (corresponding to the LaTeX article-style, 12 point). Length All abstracts must be no more than two pages, including: title, author's full name, postal address, phone number, e- mail address, text, any figures, tables, diagrams, and bibliography. Papers exceeding the specified length and formatting requirements are subject to rejection without review. Submissions to AAAI-94 or other Conferences Students are free to submit abstracts for work reported in a regular paper submitted to the AAAI-94 or another conference. Abstracts will be accepted or rejected for the student session regardless of the outcomes of related paper submissions. Review Criteria Each abstract will be reviewed against the following criteria: Significance: Does the work address an important problem? Originality: Is the problem or approach presented new? Clarity: Is the abstract clearly written? Publication Accepted abstracts will be allocated one (1) page in the conference proceedings. Students will be required to transfer copyright of the abstract to AAAI. Poster Session Accepted abstracts will be allocated presentation time and space in the Student Poster Display area at the conference. Student authors of accepted abstracts must agree to prepare a poster representing the work described in their abstracts and to be available to discuss their work with visitors during their allocated time in the Student Poster Display area.
