The keynote talk of Andrei Voronkov is cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience. The speaker had a force-majeure cicumstances that prevented him from coming to the conference.

Monday Oct 9 

 

All decisions on the RCS poster session have been sent.

Monday Aug 28 

 

The venue is announced: Apizaco, near Tlaxcala, 2 hours drive East from Mexico City (there are convenient direct buses from Mexico City). The nearest large international airport is Mexico City (ask your agency for more convenient flights from your country). The local organizer is the Technological Institute of Apizaco. Here is the local organizer’s webpage. There will be the famous folk art festival in Tlaxcala during the week of the conf.

Tuesday Aug 22 

 

IEEE authors that asked about EI: an author reported that according to the most recent IEEE News Letter, all IEEE conference publications will be submitted to EI. You can find more information here. Detailed presentation on the CPS website is here.

Monday Aug 21 

 

LNAI authors: Copyright: we are processing the faxes we receive; this will take us some time before we confirm them with an “ok” in the list.

Wednesday Aug 9 

 

Registration Form for authors is posted; see also registration information. The bank account is indicated in the registration form. Authors of accepted papers must register and pay one fee per each paper before the camera-ready deadline in order for the paper to be published.

Tuesday Aug 8 

 

Copyright form (LNAI) and the procedure to fax is has been announced. I mark the received copyright forms (LNAI) in the second column of the table of accepted papers, so you can check if I received it. Above the table I put the numbers from which I received a fax but unreadable (so I do not even know who to contact). Please repeat the fax and let me know by email.

Monday Aug 7 

 

List of accepted papers and acceptance rate information for both LNAI and IEEE volumes is published. IEEE acceptance notifications sent. IEEE authors: please us the IEEE submission page to submit your paper, not the EasyChair submission page. Please use the one-column 6x9 formatting variant, not the usual 8.5x11 two-column variant.

Friday Jul 28 

 

For authors who cannot attend the conf in person: We do not guarantee that we send any material or books by mail, even with additional S&H fee. However, we can hand the material and book to a person who you authorize, during the conference, for them to pass the material on to you. No availability of the material is guaranteed after the conference. Naturally, if you do not plan to attend he conference, you must notify us ASAP (before we compile the program) and also give us instructions as to who will receive your material.

GENERAL INFORMATION

MICAI is a high-level international conference covering all areas of Artificial Intelligence, traditionally held in Mexico. All previous editions of MICAI were published in Springer LNAI (N 1793, 2313, 2972, 3789). While some details of MCAI-2006 are in preparation, you can get an idea from MCIAI-2005. Its acceptance rate was 28% of 422 submissions from 43 countries.

The conference is organized by the Mexican Society for Artificial Intelligence (SMIA). The scientific program includes keynote lectures, paper presentations, tutorials, panels, and workshops.

Evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimization: Past, Present and Future

During the last few years, there has been an increasing interest in using heuristic search algorithms based on natural selection (the so-called "evolutionary algorithms") for solving a wide variety of problems. As in any other discipline, research on evolutionary algorithms has become more specialized over the years, giving rise to a number of sub-disciplines. This talk deals with one of the emerging sub-disciplines that has become very popular due to its wide applicability: evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO). EMO refers to the use of evolutionary algorithms (or even other biologically-inspired heuristics) to solve problems with two or more (often conflicting) objectives. Unlike traditional (single-objective) problems, multi-objective optimization problems normally have more than one possible solution. Thus, traditional evolutionary algorithms (e.g., genetic algorithms) need to be modified in order to deal with such problems. This talk will provide a general overview of this field, including its history, its most significant developments, some of its most important application areas and its current challenges.

PAPER SUBMISSION

All papers accepted for oral presentation will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) and papers accepted for poster session will be published by IEEE CS.

Papers submitted for the oral session should strictly following the LNCS/LNAI format guidelines (see also here) and not exceed 11 pages in this format (contact us if you need more pages). Papers submitted for the poster session should follow the 6x9 IEEE format guidelines (see here) and not exceed 10 pages in that format (additional pages can be used for a small additional fee).

Submissions are received electronically through the submission page:

 LNCS oral session camera-ready submission page ,

COPYRIGHT FORM

This information only applies to Springer LNAI authors (oral session). IEEE authors should refer to the instructions given on the IEEE submission page.

Springer LNAI authors should  completely fill in  this copyright form , sign, and fax it to the organizers. Please write in block letters, with black pen, for better readability. You can also type in the information directly in Acrobat Reader and print the filled form (you cannot save it from Acrobat Reader, but you can print it). Please indicate your paper number as was assigned to you by the web submission system.

Please fax the form. Please do not send us any hard copies (snail mail is too slow and unreliable) or scanned images (the publisher does not accept them). To fax the form, please choose the fax number from the table according to the last digit of your paper number: e.g., if your paper number is 123 then please choose the number corresponding to "3" in the table below, which is +1 (614) ... If the chosen number does not respond, please use the next one in the table (or the first one instead of the last one). Please fax the form to only one of the numbers. In case of problems, please contact us immediately.

Grants for Mexican students: A limited number of grants for attending MICAI will be available from SMIA for full-time Mexican students, preferably authors of accepted papers. The grant may cover in part or in total the registration fee and/or travel expenses. Please contact the organizers, providing them the following documents: (1) the type and amount of the grant you are applying for, (2) a detailed explanation of your special situation that does not allow you to cover the corresponding expenses; (3) the proof of your full-time student status at a Mexican education institution; (4) a letter of support from the administration of your school with a detailed explanation of why you cannot pay your expenses, also specifying the current amount of your scholarship; (5) a proof of your family's income and expenses.
