> 
> The 29th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and
> the 17th Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial
> Intelligence (IJCAI-PRICAI 2020) will be held in Yokohama, Japan, from
> July 11th to July 17th, 2020. For more than a half-century, IJCAI has
> remained the premier conference bringing together the international AI
> community to communicate the advances and achievements of artificial
> intelligence research. PRICAI was initiated in 1990 to create an
> artificial intelligence conference that would promote collaborative AI
> research in the Pacific Rim nations. This is the first time that IJCAI
> and PRICAI have been held jointly. With the current exploding interest
> in AI and its applications, the joint IJCAI-PRICAI conference will
> provide an exciting forum to present and hear about cutting-edge
> research in AI.
> 
> We invite the submission of technical papers for the main technical
> track of the conference. Submissions should be significant, original,
> and previously unpublished results on all aspects of artificial
> intelligence. We especially encourage papers on AI techniques for
> novel application domains.
>

> 
> Submission Process
> 
> The paper title, author names, contact details, and a brief abstract
> must be submitted electronically through the IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 paper
> submission site (link above) by the abstract submission deadline. Full
> papers must be submitted through the same site by the paper submission
> deadline. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to
> attend the conference to present the work.
> 
> 
> Keywords
> 
> When submitting abstracts, authors will be required to choose up to
> three content area keywords. General categories should be used only if
> specific categories do not apply or do not accurately reflect the main
> contributions. The full list of keywords will be available on the
> submission site.
> 
> 
> Paper Length and Format
> 
> Papers submitted to the main track must be formatted according to
> IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 guidelines (link above) and must be no longer than
> seven pages in total: six pages for the body of the paper (including
> all figures), plus up to one additional page with references that do
> not fit within the six body pages. (For accepted papers, up to two
> additional pages may be purchased at an additional cost per page, but
> note that at the time of submissions, papers are required to adhere to
> the 6+1 format above.) Authors are required to submit their electronic
> papers in PDF format. Over-length papers will be rejected without
> review. Submissions must be self-contained. IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 will not
> accept any supplementary materials other than those specified in the
> paragraph "Resubmissions of Substantially Improved Recent
> Submissions," below.
> 
> 
> Policy on Multiple Submissions
> 
> IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 will not accept any paper that, at the time of
> submission, is under review for, has already been published in, or has
> already been accepted for publication in, a journal or another venue
> with formally published proceedings. (As a guideline, authors should
> regard publications with a DOI, ISBN, or ISSN as formal
> publications. Questions about submission eligibility should be
> referred to the program chair in advance of the submission deadline.)
> Authors are also required not to submit their papers to venues with
> formal publication during the IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 review period. These
> restrictions do not apply to workshops and similar specialized
> presentations with a limited audience and without published
> proceedings. Submission is also permitted for papers that are
> available as a technical report (or similar, e.g., in arXiv). In this
> case, we suggest the authors not cite the report, so as to preserve
> anonymity. Multiple submission is grounds for immediate rejection of
> the submitted paper.
> 
> 
> Confidentiality Policy
> 
> All submissions will be treated in strict confidence until the
> publication date.
> 
> 
> Conflict of Interest Policy
> 
> All individuals involved in the IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 review process must
> adhere to the IJCAI conflict of interest policy. Details can be found
> at http://ijcai.org/.
> 
> 
> Review Process
> 
> Reviewing for IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 is double blind (reviewers do not know
> the author's identity or vice versa). The first page, on which the
> paper body begins, should include the title and abstract, but not
> names or affiliations of the authors. Acknowledgments of funding or
> assistance should also be omitted. Submissions should not contain
> pointers to supplemental material on the web. When referring to one's
> own work, use the third person, rather than the first person. For
> example, say "Previously, Bessiere and desJardins [7] have shown
> that...", rather than "In our previous work [7] we have shown
> that...". All identifying information can be added back to the final
> camera-ready version of accepted papers.
> 
> Selection criteria include originality of ideas, correctness, clarity,
> significance of results, and quality of presentation. Each submission
> will first be evaluated by Senior Program Committee members (SPCs). If
> the SPCs in charge of the submission believe that the paper has no
> chance of being accepted, they will inform the Area Chair (AC). If the
> AC concurs with this assessment, then the paper will be rejected
> without entering the standard reviewing process (summary
> reject). Papers passing this step will go through a full reviewing
> process by multiple reviewers. This process will include the
> opportunity for authors to point out errors in the reviews
> (response). Author responses will be limited to clear factual errors
> in the reviews, and are not intended to create a dialogue between
> reviewers and authors. By submitting a paper, authors acknowledge that
> they are aware of the possibility of receiving a summary rejection
> notification within one month after submission without any written
> review. Authors also accept that all decisions of the program
> committee (i.e., summary reject, standard reject, or accept) will be
> final and cannot be appealed.
> 
> 
> Submission Restrictions
> 
> IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 is enforcing a strict submission limit. Each
> individual author is limited to no more than 6 submissions to
> IJCAI-PRICAI 2020. The list of authors provided at submission time is
> final. Authors may not be added to, or removed from, papers following
> submission. (Author ordering may still be changed.) Finally, for each
> submitted paper to IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 the set of authors commit
> themselves to review up to three submissions to IJCAI-PRICAI 2020, if
> asked to. (For example, authors X and Y who submit two papers together
> could be asked to review up to six papers.) This rule does not apply
> to papers for which at least one of the authors is already a PC
> member, an SPC member, or an AC of IJCAI-PRICAI 2020.
> 
> 
> Resubmissions of Substantially Improved Recent Submissions
> 
> Authors of papers that have been rejected from AAAI 2020, ECAI 2020,
> AAMAS 2020, ICCV 2020, or ICAPS 2020 are permitted to resubmit
> substantially improved versions to IJCAI-PRICAI 2020. In this case,
> authors must declare the resubmission by including a cover letter with
> their submission. The cover letter should summarize the main reasons
> for rejection and should describe the changes the authors have made to
> address the reviewers' comments. The cover letter should be inserted
> at the beginning of the submitted PDF, along with the previous reviews
> and previous anonymized rejected submission, before the 6+1 pages of
> the paper. Such resubmissions must contain, in a single PDF file:
> 
> - the cover letter, headed by the title of the rejected paper, the
>  tracking number (if any), and the name of the conference to which
>  this paper was submitted,
> - the full reviews from the rejected conference, 
> - the anonymized version of the rejected paper, and 
> - the new submission. 
> 
> A paper rejected from these conferences and omitting to declare
> resubmission will be directly rejected without further review.
> 
> 
> Note that IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 is a joint conference held under the 
> IJCAI rules. The papers published there will be solely IJCAI publications 
> with IJCAI as copyright holder. This applies to all main conference 
> contributions regardless of the track.
