About AIS

The 2nd International Conference on Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (AIS 2011) is held in conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition in the beautiful city of Burnaby on the outskirt of Vancouver, Canada. It aims at providing a platform for researchers, engineers, academics and industrial professionals to present their recent research work and to explore future trends in various areas of autonomous and intelligent systems. The conference will address recent advances in theory, methodologies and applications in the field.

The scientific program will include keynote and invited speakers and fully refereed contributions that will be published as a special volume in Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series. It will be also indexed in major indexing sites. As with the first edition of AIS, selected articles will be published in the International Journal of Robotics and Automation and The International Journal on Control and Intelligent Systems, among other journals. AIS 2011 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE.
