AIiH 2024 Call for Special Session Proposals (International Conference on AI in Healthcare, Swansea UK)

December 5th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise
We are delighted to invite proposals for special sessions at the first International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AIiH 2024), which will be held in Swansea from 4 September to 6 September 2024. A special session is designed to delve into a specific research theme or showcase innovative applications. Each special session will feature a minimum of five presentations. For topics of interest, please see the conference website (https://aiih.cc).

Special session chairs will receive one free full registration. For a special session with more than five accepted papers, the organisers may invite one invited speaker, whose registration to the conference will also be free. Papers submitted to special sessions are reviewed in the same way as submissions to the conference's main sessions. Author guidance and paper submission details can be found here (https://aiih.cc/paper-submission). Presenting speakers are required to register at the conference. Special session papers will be included in the conference proceedings, published by Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

Procedure for Submitting Special Session Proposals

Each proposal should include:

1. Session title. The title will be published in the conference programme.
2. Abstract (250 words). The abstract will be published in the conference program.
3. Name and affiliation of the special session organisers.
4. Name and affiliation of invited speakers who will contribute to the special session. Please note that the invited speakers will need to submit their papers (https://aiih.cc/paper-submission). Papers submitted for special sessions undergo the same review process as open submissions and will be included in the conference proceeding.
5. You can propose an open special session, which allows other delegates to submit their papers to the proposed session.

Please email your proposal to contact@AIiH.cc by the deadline of January 26th, 2024.

The conference committee will assess special session proposals based on the quality of the proposal and the broad appeal of the topic.

various computational tasks and applications. It involves designing and
implementing hardware configurations that can be dynamically adapted to
specific
workloads, improving performance and efficiency in a wide range of
applications.

Dear colleagues,

The registration site is now open for the 2024 International Symposium on Technological Advances in Human-Robot Interaction (TAHRI)! Thanks to authors who submitted standard review papers! If you want to give a second chance to a paper previously reviewed at another venue, we invite you to revise and resubmit it as a TAHRI rapid review paper! Submissions are limited, so pre-register your paper today! https://www.tahri.org/authors

Overview: TAHRI aims to be the premiere symposium for HRI research focused on the advancement of the underlying technology enabling the interaction between a robot and a human. The inaugural event will be held on March 9–10, 2024, in Boulder, Colorado, USA, two days before and co-located with the 2024 HRI conference!

Theme: The theme for the inaugural TAHRI is “Building Bridges Between Builders”, gathering HRI researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, government, and other research groups who are focused on the development of HRI technologies.

Topics: TAHRI seeks technological HRI contributions from a broad range of perspectives, including, but not limited to, robots, platforms, hardware, software, sensors, actuators, perception, control, algorithms, models, mechanisms, methods, interfaces, architectures, frameworks, benchmarks, datasets, tools, techniques, or other technologies that, with reasonable effort, can be incorporated into the design, development, or deployment of an HRI system.

Papers: TAHRI is an inclusive, community-focused venue that invites novel, high-quality technological HRI papers that will be peer-reviewed in a flexible process, presented live at the symposium, and indexed in archived ACM proceedings.

  • [CLOSED] Standard review papers are for technological HRI work intended to go through a full peer-review process (including internal and external reviewers).

  • Rapid review papers are for technological HRI work that has been previously reviewed but was either not indexed or not published, that has been revised based on previous reviewer feedback, and for which a summary of reviews, rebuttals, and revisions can also be submitted. These papers are part of a new rolling review process (from Nov. 6th, 2023, to Jan. 19th, 2024), with a fast turnaround notification (~3 weeks) and a limited number of submissions! See the website for important details.

  • Short papers are for recent, ongoing, or otherwise promising technological HRI work with preliminary results or details of accessible artifacts that are relevant to the HRI research community and show potential to promote discussions at TAHRI. These papers will not be indexed in archived proceedings.

Important Dates:

  • Nov. 6, 2023: Paper submission site opens

  • ~3 weeks after submission: Rapid review paper notification

  • Dec. 1, 2023: Standard review paper deadline / Registration site opens
