Consortium Call for Papers
The AIxIA Doctoral Consortium (DC) is offered as
part of the Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence
(AIxIA) that will take place in Bozen, Italy on November 25-28, 2024, see https://aixia2024.events.unibz.it/doctoral-consortium/.
The DC provides an opportunity for PhD students to explore and develop their
research interests in the Artificial Intelligence field, in the broader sense,
under the guidance of a panel of distinguished researchers from both academia
and industry. Attending students will have the opportunity to present their
work in a dedicated session during the conference.
AIxIA Doctoral Consortium's main objectives are the
following:
Provide a supportive setting for feedback on
students’ current research and guidance on future research directions. Offer
each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from faculty and
students outside their institution, taking advantage of mentorship
opportunities. Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars
and a spirit of collaborative research. Contribute to the conference goals
through interaction with other researchers and conference events.
We accept contributions from:
- students enrolled in the National PhD Programs in Artificial Intelligence (PhD-AI) and Robotics and Intelligent Machines (phDRIM).
- students regularly enrolled in any PhD program with a research project with main focus on AI;
- Students/master’s holders not yet enrolled in a PhD program, but strongly motivated to enroll in the next future.
We
invite the submission of research papers, where special attention should be
dedicated to contextualizing the contribution within the research area it
belongs to and how the contribution fits within the PhD program. We also
encourage submissions of preliminary works that survey the state-of-the-art of
a specific problem and propose a plan for ongoing investigation activities.

will be handled electronically by means of Easychair. The submission page is
available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aixia2024 selecting the DC track.
Accepted Papers based on original work will be included in the DC proceedings published on-line by CEUR after the conference. Already published papers will appear as a link to the previous publication in the DC proceedings published by CEUR.
Every
contribution should be in the form of up to a 6-page extended abstract
including references, in CEUR Workshop Proceedings format. Students with
accepted extended abstracts are invited to give an oral presentation of their
work during the Doctoral Consortium and to prepare a visual abstract to be
included on the conference website. The authors of the accepted works are
requested to attend the Doctoral Consortium and register for the main
conference.
