About MIWAI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) research has broad applications in real

world

problems. Examples include control, planning and scheduling, pattern

recognition, knowledge mining, software applications and strategy

games.

The ever-evolving needs in business both on a local and on a global

scale

demand better technologies for solving more and more complex problems.

Such

needs can be found in all industrial sectors and in any part of the

world.

This workshop aims to be a meeting place where excellence in AI

research

meets the needs for solving dynamic and complex problems in the real

world.

The academic researchers, developers, and industrial practitioners

will

have extensive opportunities to present their original work,

technological

advances and practical problems. Participants can learn from each

other and

exchange their experiences in order to fine tune their activities in

order

to help each other better.

The main purposes of the MIWAI series of workshops are as follows:

. to provide a meeting place for AI researchers and practitioners in

Thailand and beyond.

. to inform Thai students about cutting-edge AI research via the

presence

of outstanding international invited speakers.

. to raise the standards of practice of AI research in the whole of

Thailand by providing Thai researchers and students with feedback from

an

internationally-renowned program committee.

Submission requirements

Submissions of the following three categories are invited:

Category A: REGULAR PAPERS

Papers presenting new original work. Submitted papers should not

exceed a

length of 12 pages in the IEEE format style (templates here:

http://khamreang.msu.ac.th/miwai10/MIWAI_2010/textemplate.zip,

http://khamreang.msu.ac.th/miwai10/MIWAI_2010/wordtemplate.zip)

Regular

papers will be reviewed on overall quality and relevance. Reviewing

of

category A papers will be (at least) double-blind. In order to make

blind

reviewing possible, the authors should follow that:

. The authors' names and institutions should not appear in the paper.

. Unpublished work of the authors should not be cited.

. Using "we" or "us" in reviews of literature should be avoided,

e.g.,

"In [1] we have proposed..." should be changed to "In [1] the authors

have

proposed...".

The program committee will evaluate Category A papers as either

rejected?

or accepted as a long paper, or accepted as a short paper. All

accepted

category A papers (long and short) will be fully published in the

proceedings.

Category B: COMPRESSED CONTRIBUTIONS

Papers that have been accepted after June 1 2009 for AI-related

refereed

conferences or journals can be resubmitted and will be accepted as

"compressed contributions". Authors are invited to submit the

published

version (without page or format restriction) together with a 1 or 2-

page

abstract prepared in the IEEE format style (links to templates above).

Note

the above double-blind instructions apply only to category A papers,

not to

category B. The abstract of the paper will be published in the

proceedings.

Every author may submit at most one B-paper of which they are the

corresponding author, and only if they do not submit any A-paper as

corresponding author.

Category C: DEMONSTRATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

Proposals for demonstrations will be evaluated based on submitted

demonstration summaries stating the following: the purpose of the

system to

be demonstrated, its user groups, the organization or project for

which it

is developed, the developers, and the technology used. In addition,

the

system requirements and the duration of the demo (not exceeding 30

minutes)

should be mentioned. Especially master students are encouraged to

submit

papers presenting their applications and experiences. The maximum size

of

demonstration summaries is 2 pages (links to templates above).

Reviewing of

category C papers will be double-blind (see above under "category A"

papers

for details).

The workshop proceedings will be published with ISBN number.

At least one author of each accepted paper (in each submission

category) is

required to attend the workshop.

Language Requirements

As MIWAI is an international workshop, its official language is

English.

This means all submitting authors must submit an English language

version

of their paper, as well as present their paper in English if accepted

for

the workshop.
