The Mexican Society on Artificial Intelligence (SMIA) invites mexican
students presently enrolled in doctorate programs either in Mexico or abroad to
participate in the doctoral consortium at the 11th edition of the Mexican
International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (MICAI 2011, [1]), to be held
on November 26 to December 4 in Puebla, Mexico.
The consortium offers a limited number of students the opportunity of
presenting their work advances and receive evaluation and feedback from
notorious researchers (advisers) and fellow participating students. The main objective
of this forum is to allow the students to benefit from evaluations and
discussions related to their particular research projects. This forum will also allow
the students to know more about the research community on artificial intelligence
in Mexico and identify the different research areas in order to promote
scientific collaboration in a new generation of researchers. Finally, the consortium
will enable communication and knowledge interchange between the Mexican industry
and the research community.
The invitation is open to all doctorate program students with an approved
research topic in Computer Science and with enough time to obtain the degree
in order to be able to benefit from feedback. Interested students must send
by e-mail to either Doctoral Consortium chairs the following information in a
single PDF file:
1. Abstract of the research project, written in English using Springer
LNCS
