AINST2020: AI in Natural Sciences and Technology Workshop @ SETN2020 NCSR "Demokritos" Athens, Greece, September 2-4, 2020 |
Conference website | https://ainst.scify.org/ |
Submission link | https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ainst2020 |
The aim of the workshop is to activate and empower the – already emerging – community of natural scientists and engineers on the key role of implementing AI to a plethora of cutting-edge scientific domains and industrial processes, as well as AI researchers that understand the idiosyncrasies and challenges of applying AI methods in the area of natural sciences and engineering.
Submission Guidelines
The workshop accepts submissions of three types:
- Position papers (5-9 LNCS-equivalent pages + references): sketching promising future directions, based on recent findings on the borderline between natural sciences/novel technologies and AI.
- Tools and demo papers (5-9 LNCS-equivalent pages + references): describing existing AI tools and their suggested applications on scientific and technological problems.
- Research papers (10 LNCS-equivalent pages + references): describing new research works, highlighting the interaction between AI and natural sciences.
Submitting a paper to the workshop means that in case of acceptance, at least one author is required to fully register as “Author” for the conference in order for the paper to be included in the proceedings. Moreover, it is expected that at least one author will attend the conference to present the paper.
Procedure workflow
The procedure that will be followed from abstract submission to paper publication consist of 3 major steps illustrated below:
- Abstract submission
- abstract evaluation
- abstract accept/reject
- Presentation at the workshop
