Workshops at the Twentieth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence
The Workshop Program of the Twentieth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence was held Saturday and Sunday, July 9–10, 2005 (unless otherwise noted) at the Westin Convention Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The AAAI-05 workshop program included 13 workshops covering a wide range of topics in artificial intelligence. Workshops were one day unless noted otherwise in the individual description. Each workshop was limited to approximately 25 to 65 participants. Participation at these workshops was by invitation from the workshop organizers. Workshops were included in the AAAI-05 technical registration, and registration information was be sent directly to all invited participants.
The2005 workshop program was constructed to encourage dialogue and build bridges between researchers in different subfields. Several of the workshops were follow-ons from workshops held at more specialized AI conferences. The program also included two pairs of workshops covering similar topics, question answering and planning and scheduling, from two different perspectives.
