=================================================
KI 2021 is the 44th edition of the German conference on Artificial Intelligence (abbreviated KI for “Künstliche Intelligenz”) organized in cooperation with the AI Chapter of the German Society for Informatics (GI-FBKI).
The KI conference is one of the major European AI conferences and traditionally brings together academic and industrial researchers from all areas of AI, providing an ideal place for exchanging news and research results on theory and applications. The proceedings of KI are published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series.
The technical program of KI 2021 comprises sessions with research paper presentations, tutorials and workshops, as well as invited keynotes of renown AI researchers on different topics of AI.The KI 2021 is co-located with the INFORMATIK 2021 of the German Society for Informatics.

IMPORTANT DATES:
May 10, 2021: Abstract submission
May 17, 2021: Full Paper submission
June 28, 2021: Notifications

SUBMISSION:
We invite papers, which have to be in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS style, in the following three categories:
- Full technical papers (12 pages max., excluding references)
- are expected to report on new research that makes a substantial technical contribution to the field. Additional details may be included in an appendix, which, however, will be read at the discretion of the PC.
- Technical communications (6 pages max., excluding references)
- can report on research in progress or other issues of interest to the AI community. Examples of work suitable for technical communication paper submissions include: novel ideas whose scope is not large enough for a full paper; important implementation techniques; novel interesting benchmark problems; short experimental studies; interesting applications that are not yet completely solved or analyzed; position or challenge papers. Technical communication submissions are especially invited for software demonstration or PhD work in progress.
- Abstracts of papers (3 pages max., excluding references)
- accepted at (most recent editions of) major AI conferences are welcome to bring together German members of the international AI community. Abstracts of accepted papers will be evaluated based on the ranking of the venue it has been accepted for. We especially invite abstract of papers from A or A* ranked AI conferences.
Submission will be through the EasyChair conference management system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ki2021
Full papers and technical communications will be subject to
blind peer review based on the standard criteria of relevance,
significance of results, originality of ideas, soundness, and quality of
the presentation.
Papers accepted in this process will be published in the KI
conference proceedings, published by Springer in the LNAI series and
will be presented at the conference.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the contribution.
The 3-page paper abstracts will be bundled and included in a preface or appendix section of the conference proceedings.
