The purpose of the AAAI conference series is to promote research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and scientific exchange among AI researchers, practitioners, scientists, students and engineers in AI and all affiliated disciplines. AAAI-15 is the Twenty-Ninth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence. It will continue the traditions of previous AAAI conferences with multiple technical tracks, invited speakers, workshops, tutorials, student abstracts, senior member papers, poster sessions, a video competition, and exhibit programs, all selected according to the highest standards. AAAI-15, as the inaugural Winter AAAI conference, will also include special programs that celebrate the past and look into the future. A number of exciting innovations are planned, including additional programs for students and young researchers.
Innovations for the Main Conference Track

Resubmissions of Substantially Improved AAAI-14 Submissions: AAAI-15 expects to have a mechanism for authors to submit substantially improved versions of their declined AAAI-14 submissions together with a cover letter that explains how their revised submissions address the comments of the reviewers. The cover letters will be taken into consideration in the review process.
Demonstrations: During paper submission, authors will be able to express interest in demonstrating their systems (if applicable) during a demonstration/poster session and describe the features of their intended demonstration.
Easily Accessible Papers: AAAI-15 is interested in identifying a small number of papers that make good reading material for people with a general background knowledge of artificial intelligence but no detailed knowledge of the subarea covered in the paper. Authors of such papers will meet at AAAI-15 with students interested in their papers.
Special Tracks: AAAI-15 will include several special paper tracks on focused topics to increase participation in special areas of interest.

Details will be announced separately.

The full set of AAAI-15 keywords will be available on the AAAI-15 keywords page.

Papers that extend the state of the art, and explore parts of the design space of AI that are not well-explored, are particularly encouraged.
Author Registration

Authors must register at the AAAI-15 web-based technical track paper submission site before they submit their abstracts and papers. The software will assign a password, which will enable the author to log on to submit an abstract and paper. To avoid network problems in the last minute rush, authors are strongly encouraged to register as soon as possible after May 1, well in advance of the September 10 abstract deadline.

Registration will close at 11:59 PM PST on September 10, 2014.
Abstract submission will close at 11:59 PM PST on September 10, 2014.
Final paper submission will close at 11:59 PM PST on September 15, 2014.
