3. Bug(s) of the week
4. Suggestion From Kamesh
AAAI and IJCAI conferences for 2013 have "AI and Computational Sustainability" as main theme.
AAAI has a special track: http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/AAAI/2013/aaai13csaicall.php
IJCAI's conference theme itself in on Computational Sustainability: http://ijcai13.org/calls/call_for_papers
Modeling of infectious diseases is a part of Computational Sustainability. AAAI and IJCAI are good venues for show casing STEM based work.
5. Mark Dittmer (Western University of Canada) has upcoming publication submitted to the "Online Journal of Public Health Informatics" that includes STEM.
* Suggestion to invite him to a future call
6. Future calls
Stefan will moderate call on Dec 6th
Dec 13 will be our last call of 2012 (picking up again Jan 10th 2013).
Please use STEM-dev in any issues arise over the holidays.
