worksh[s86,jmc] Workshop proposals
Issues
1. overhead. I have decided not to pay overhead.
2. honoraria for speakers. No, in general.
3. Should AAAI be publisher of proceedings. No action at present.
4. They should report for Magazine.
Workshops in AI sponsored by AAAI.
AAAI will sponsor workshops in particular areas of AI. So far more
than 10 have been sponsored. The format is not prescribed except that
this program does not sponsor large conferences.
Here are some policies.
1. Up to $10K can be approved per workshop.
2. No honoraria for speakers or overhead to institutions will be paid.
3. Proposals should be sent to
John McCarthy.
4. Electronic mail to JMC@SU-AI.STANFORD.EDU is preferred, but U.S.
mail to
Professor John McCarthy
Computer Science Department
Stanford, CA 94305
will also work. If you get impatient you can phone (415)723-4430.
5. Proposals should contain approximations to the following:
a. budget.
b. subject, detailed enough to evaluate relevance to AI
and possible overlap with other workshop proposals.
c. conditions of participation including how papers
and attendees are to be selected.
d. when and where if this is known.
6. Correspondence should be copied to AAAI-OFFICE@SUMEX.STANFORD.EDU
or to
Ms. Claudia Mazzetti, Executive Director
AAAI
445 Burgess St.
Menlo Park, CA 94025
You can phone her at (415)328-3123.
7. After McCarthy has approved the proposal further arrangements should
be made with Mazzetti at the AAAI office. This includes transfer of
money and possible help with publicity and workshop preprints and
publication.
8. After the workshop is finished there should be a report suitable
for publication in AI Magazine.
Priorities:
basic ai science
workshops not conferences
it wouldn't otherwise be held
ad hoc conference

I have your proposal. I'll decide in a day or two about the secretary
part, but AAAI is good for the $5K anyway.

I consulted two people who have run workshops and they agree that
1/5 of a secretary is reasonable. Therefore, I have decided to
fund your full request for the 1987 Machine Learning Workshop of $9950.
Please make all further arrangements with Claudia Mazzetti at the
AAAI office. She is AAAI-OFFICE@SUMEX in addition to being reachable
by phone and U.S. Mail.

Subject: AIM Workshop
I am organizing an Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Workshop for 1987
along the lines of earlier AIM workshops, but in a slightly more abbreviated
format, only one day. I would like to know if the date we have selected
would pose any problem in regard to AAAI-87. We chose this date in order
to facilitate attendance at both the AIM Workshop and AAAI-87, which is
why the organizing falls on me.
In addition, we would like to know if AAAI can provide support for this
workshop. Our specific needs are to be able to fund some graduate student
travel, provide a hosted lunch, and also to do a paper mailing to the AAAI-M
mailing list to supplement the on-line mailing. I expect the amount would be
similar to past workshops.
Following is a copy of the latest version of the AIM Workshop announcement
and the tentative program.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MEDICINE - AIM WORKSHOP 1987
July 12, 1987
University of Washington
Seattle, Washington
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM) Workshop has been an
annual tradition for nearly a decade. The community of researchers active in
applying artificial intelligence techniques in the medical domain has each
year met to hear reports on the current status of ongoing projects, to see and
critique demonstrations of running systems, and to discuss issues of
importance to their research. This group, though relatively small, has had a
substantial positive effect on the broader field of artificial intelligence,
particularly in the areas of expert systems and knowledge representation.
The small size of the group (fewer than 100 attendees) has made it
possible for this workshop to fulfill an important community-building
function, as opportunities are provided for graduate students and other young
researchers to meet and talk informally with senior figures in the field.
Earlier AIM Workshops have been held in several centers of research
activity, including Stanford, Rutgers, MIT, the University of Pittsburgh, Ohio
State University, and the National Library of Medicine. In 1987, the Workshop
will be hosted by the University of Washington, just prior to the National
Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-87) in Seattle, Washington. It is
hoped that this will give Workshop participants ongoing opportunities for
contact and facilitate participation in AAAI-87.
The 1987 AIM Workshop program will be only a single day, and will
emphasize small informal meetings and discussion. A short plenary session in
the morning will be followed by a series of topical discussion groups. We
hope this format will give ample opportunity for new voices to share their
ideas and work, as well as for more experienced investigators to offer
guidance and commentary.
Participation is by invitation, and will be limited to about 90
participants. This year, to help us identify those who would most benefit
from as well as contribute to the workshop, we are asking that those
interested in attending submit an extended abstract, no more than two pages
(1000 words), describing their work, plans or interest in artificial
intelligence in medicine, to the Workshop Chair, Ira Kalet, Radiation Oncology
Department, M/S RC-08, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195.
The deadline for abstracts is March 15, 1987. Invitations will be issued
by April 15, 1987.
We are also looking for topical group discussion leaders. If you
would like to lead a discussion group, please contact the Workshop Chair.
Some support to assist in defraying expenses for student attendees
may be available. Contact the Workshop Chairman for further information.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point I see a program roughly as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AIM WORKSHOP 1987 (80-90 invited participants)
8:30 AM to 10:30 AM - Plenary Session
four 30 minute (20 + questions) talks, the best of the abstracts
10:30 to 10:45 AM - coffee break
10:45 AM to 12:15 PM - Small Group Discussions I (6 parallel groups, 15 each)
12:15 to 1:30 PM - Banquet Lunch
1:30 to 3:00 PM - Small Groups II
3:00 to 3:15 PM - Coffee Break II
3:15 to 4:45 PM - Small Groups III
PARTICIPATION:
Participation will be by invitation only, and all invitations
will be either:
a. on review of an extended abstract (no more than 2 pages) - this should
describe work completed or in progress, or in the planning stages to allow for
some new people who may only just be getting started. Acceptance of an
abstract will mean an invitation to participate, but only the 4 best abstracts
will be presented. Abstracts will also be used to make assignments to topical
discussion groups.
b. to someone we know who can serve as a discussion leader or facilitator.
c. to someone we know who is a significant resource person whose participation
would be valuable.
(for b. and c., invitees will not need to submit abstracts.)

Pending Proposals
A few weeks ago I had sent a request for support of the Theoretical
Issues in Conceptual Information Processing Workshop being planned in
U of Maryland for early June. Since a number of planning activities
will need to be initiated, it will be helpful to hear about AAAI support
that was requested in my ealrlier message. If the message is lost,
pl. let me know, and I'll remail my copy of it.
Thanks.
