The 24th International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society
Conference (FLAIRS-24) will be held May 18-20, 2011 at The Colony Hotel in
Palm Beach, Florida, USA.

FLAIRS-24 continues a tradition of presenting and discussing state of the art
artificial intelligence and related research in a convivial atmosphere within
a beautiful setting. Events will include invited speakers, special tracks,
discussion panels, and presentations of papers, posters, and awards. FLAIRS
features some of the world’s leading researchers but submissions from students
are also highly encouraged, with FLAIRS boasting a strong tradition of student
papers.

Submission of papers for presentation at the conference is now invited.

The Atlantic coastal city of Palm Beach, lying one hour north of Miami, is one
of Florida's most beautiful resorts. The Colony Hotel, the heart of the
conference, is located only half a block from beautiful beaches and the
internationally renowned Worth Avenue shopping! Palm Beach offers plenty of
exquisite restaurants with delicious cuisine. Museums, gardens and cultural
events are all at your fingertips. Just across the inter-coastal waterway, the
City of West Palm Beach, with its sunny palm-lined streets, scenic waterfront
views, quaint shopping districts, and historic neighborhoods, offers award
winning Clematis by Night free fountainside concert series, where visitors and

The Palm Beach area also offers family fun, with the Palm Beach Zoo at Dreher
Park, the South Florida Science Museum, and nearby world-class beaches and
fishing.
