Researchers are invited to submit unpublished original research, but high-quality research results possibly already published in international conferences or journals are also welcome. Three types of submissions are invited:

Type A: regular papers
Type B: compressed contributions, and
Type C: demonstrations.

Type A: REGULAR PAPERS

Papers presenting new original work. Submitted papers should not exceed a length of 8 pages. These papers will be reviewed on overall quality and relevance. Type A-Papers can be accepted for either oral or poster presentation. All accepted papers will be fully published in the proceedings.

Type B: COMPRESSED CONTRIBUTIONS

Papers that have been accepted after June 1st, 2013 for AI-related refereed conferences or journals can be resubmitted and will be accepted as compressed contributions. Authors are invited to submit the officially published version (without page restriction) together with a one or two-page abstract. Type B-Papers will be accepted for either oral or poster presentation. The abstract of the paper will be published in the proceedings. Every author may submit at most one B-paper of which they are the corresponding author, and only if they do not submit any A-paper as corresponding author.

Type C: DEMONSTRATIONS & APPLICATIONS

Proposals for demonstrations will be evaluated based on submitted demonstration summaries stating the following: the purpose of the system to be demonstrated, its user groups, the organization or project for which it is developed, the developers, and the technology used. In addition, the system requirements and the duration of the demo (not exceeding 30 minutes) should be mentioned. The maximum size of demonstration summaries is 2 pages (in English).

Papers and demonstration summaries should be submitted electronically via EasyChair by July 6th, 2014. Submission details can be found here. Submission implies willingness of at least one author to register for BNAIC 2014 and present the paper. For each paper, a separate author registration is required. Authors keep the copyright of their submissions.

The BNAIC Proceedings are published online and will carry an ISSN. Print-on-demand copies will be made available on request.
