----- Call for participation -----
We are glad to announce that the registration for SAB2004 is now open, and that the preliminary technical program is available. See
----- Call for abstracts -----
SAB2004 introduces a new feature: the Last-Minute-Results poster session.
This special session will offer researchers in Adaptive Behavior the opportunity to present their most recent results at SAB2004
Researchers are invited to submit a two-page abstract describing recent results/developments. Abstracts should be sent electronically as a PDF file to the conference general email address, snipped-for-privacy@isab.org, with "Last Minute Results" in the email Subject line.
The call for abstracts is open to all (i.e. to people both with and without an accepted paper at the conference). There is a limit of one abstract/poster per participant as a first author. After review by the conference chairs, authors of accepted abstracts will be allowed to present their results as a poster in a special Last-Minute-Results session. Note that the abstracts will not be considered as publications and will not be included in the conference proceedings.
Deadlines:
May 31 2004: Abstract submission deadline June 7 2004: Notification of acceptance July 13-17 2004: SAB'04 conference
