TIME 2010 - First Call for Papers

Seventeenth International Symposium on
Temporal Representation and Reasoning

Paris, France, 6-8 September 2010

http://www.lsv.ens-cachan.fr/Events/TIME10/


The TIME symposium series is a well-established annual event that brings
together researchers from all areas of computer science that involve temporal
representation and reasoning. This includes, but is not limited to, artificial
intelligence, temporal databases, and the verification of software and
hardware systems. In addition to fostering interdisciplinarity, the TIME
symposia emphasize bridging the gap between theoretical and applied research.

TIME'10 encompasses three tracks, but has a single program committee. The
conference will span three days, and will be organized as a combination of
technical paper presentations, poster sessions, and keynote lectures.

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

Submissions of high quality papers describing research results or on-going
work are solicited. Submitted papers should contain original, previously
unpublished content, should be written in English, and must not be
simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere.

Submitted papers will be refereed by at least three reviewers for quality,
correctness, originality, and relevance. Accepted papers will be presented at
the symposium and included in the proceedings, which will be published by the
IEEE Computer Society Press. Acceptance of a paper is contingent on one author
presenting the paper at the symposium.

Submissions should be in PDF format (with the necessary fonts embedded). They
must be formatted according to the IEEE guidelines described at

ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/
proceedings/8.5x11 - Formatting files/instruct.pdf

and must not exceed 8 pages; over-length submissions may be rejected without
review.

Papers are submitted electronically via Easychair:
