===============================================
IBERAMIA 2016 is the 15th edition of the Ibero-American Conference on 
Artificial Intelligence, a leading symposium where the Ibero-American AI 
community comes together to share research results and experiences with 
researchers in Artificial Intelligence from all over the world. IBERAMIA 
2016 will be held in San José, Costa Rica on November 22-25, 2016, and 
organized by the ‘Escuela de Informática’ of  ‘Universidad Nacional de 
Costa Rica’, San José, Costa Rica. The conference is sponsored by the 
main Ibero-American Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science 
societies.

IBERAMIA 2016 welcomes submissions on mainstream AI topics, as well as 
novel cross cutting work in related areas. Topics may include but are 
not limited to the following:

- Knowledge Engineering, Knowledge Representation and Probabilistic 
Reasoning
-  Agent technology and multi-agent systems
-  Machine Learning
-  Planning and Scheduling
-  Robotics
-  Natural Language Processing
-  Computer vision and pattern recognition
-  Computational Intelligence & Soft Computing
-  AI in Education, Affective Computing, and Human-Computer Interaction
-  Big Data, Knowledge discovery and Data Mining


===============================================
PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers must be written in English, and will be reviewed on the basis of 
their relevance, significance of the contribution, originality, 
technical soundness, quality and clarity. As in previous years, accepted 
papers will be published in the series "Advances in Artificial 
Intelligence" of Springer-Verlag LNAI.

Paper submission details:

Submitted papers must not exceed 12 pages, including all tables, 
figures, and references and are required to be formatted in the Springer 
LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). 
Submissions over twelve pages will be rejected without review. Papers 
must be submitted through the EasyChair Conference System at 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iberamia2016. The conference 
is organized in several areas, so the authors should choose to submit 
the paper to the most appropriate area for their work.

All submissions will go through a peer review process, by independent PC 
members reviewing each submission. Reviewing will be blind, so author 
names and affiliations must be omitted from the submission, using 
instead the unique tracking number assigned by the conference system at 
the time of submission. In addition, self-references in the text, like 
"in [Garcia 2004], we prove that" should be avoided, using instead 
references such as "in [Garcia 2004] has been proved that".


================================================
IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission deadline : May 9th, 2016
Notification : July 11th, 2016
Camera ready papers: August 1st, 2016
