AIS - International Conference on Autonomous and Intelligent Systems

About AIS

The International Conference on Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (AIS) 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 addresses recent advances in theory, methodologies and applications in the field.

The scientific program includes keynote and invited speakers and fully refereed contributions that is typically published as a special volume in Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. It is also indexed in major indexing sites. Selected articles are published in the International Journal of Robotics and Automation and The International Journal on Control and Intelligent Systems, among other journals. AIS is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE.
