IJCAI workshop on AI applications for disabled people: Book proposal
This mail message is a follow up to the workshop on AI applications
for disabled people that was held at IJCAI in Montreal last
August. After the workshop, we (John and I) were approached by
Elsevier Publishers wondering whether we would like to select some
of the papers in the workshop proceedings and have them published
in the form of a book. Based on reviews and the presentations, John
and I have tentatively selected about 10 papers that we think would
form a good collection representing the workshop. This mail is to
inform you that your paper is one of these ten, and to solicit your
opinion as to whether you would be interested in expanding/revising
your paper for the book. We would like to have papers that are
approximately 20 pages for the book. Since the page size in a book
is smaller, the overall length may be about what you submitted to
the workshop. If you would like to be an author in this collection,
we will need to have you revise your paper somewhat to try and take
into account the presentations at the workshop, as well as
integrate any additional results that might now be available to you.
I will need to hear from you (yes/no/maybe) in the next few days so
that John and I can go decide whether we want to go ahead and
submit a formal proposal to Elsevier Publishers for this
collection. We believe that this book has the potential for being a
good resource in an area that has not previously had many such
collections.
If we do go ahead with the proposal, we will probably need your
final versions in the next few months.
Thanks in advance,
