FLAIRS 2012 - The Silver Anniversary Conference of the Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society (FLAIRS-25)

The 25th Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-25) will be held May 23-25, 2012 at The Marco Island Hilton. In this silver anniversary for FLAIRS, we will proudly continue our tradition of presenting and discussing artificial intelligence research in a friendly atmosphere within a beautiful setting. Events will include invited speakers, special tracks, discussion panels, presentations of papers and posters, and will introduce a brand new session for impromptu presentations (stay tuned for that). As always, there will be a Best Paper award and a Best Poster award. In addition, because FLAIRS has a rich tradition of encouraging student authors, there will also be a Best Student Paper award for the best paper written primarily by students.
The Marco Island Hilton Beach Resort and Spa hotel is situated on the beautiful Marco Island beach on the Southwest Florida Gulf Coast. Every room has a balcony and at least a partial gulf view. Marco Island is next door to the Florida Everglades National Park and some of Southwest Florida's best shopping, dining and recreational activities. FLAIRS will have exclusive use of the 12000 square feet of conference facilities and access to the hotel's various amenities including Sandcastle's lounge, pool, hot tub, and exercise room. Various pubs, restaurants, shops, and a movie theater can be found across the street.
