International Oberseminar 2011

April 13-15, 2011

San Ponziano, Spoleto, Italy

The Oberseminar is a meeting for PhD students and researchers working in AI topics, organized by

University of Freiburg, (Germany) Prof Bernhard Nebel

Sapienza University of Rome, (Italy) Prof. Daniele Nardi

Groningen University, (Netherlands) Prof Marco Aiello

Sabanci University, Istanbul (Turkey) Prof. Esra Erdem

 

The Ober Seminar was started by Univ. of Freiburg as a research meeting to allow students and advisors to share and discuss research ideas in a fully immersive environment, outside the conventional department facilities. The Ober Seminar became an International event in 2007, when Sapienza University proposed to held the seminar jointly in Rome at Istituto Superiore Antincendi.

The next edition in 2008 was held in the Black Forest, organized by Univ. of Freiburg and extended the partecipation to Univ. of Groningen, which then hosted the Ober Seminar in 2009. In 2009 also Sabanci University was invited and they hosted the 2010 edition in Istanbul. At this stage, Ober Seminar has reached a significant size and does not expect to further increase the group, since the meeting should keep the original informal presentation style, where new, typically not fully developed ideas are put forward with the goal of getting feedback and suggestions from the audience.

The group covers a variety of AI research topics ranging from Planning, to Knowledge Representation, Non Monotonic Reasoning, Multi Agent Systems, Web Services and Robotics.
