Special Track on Intelligent Autonomous Systems 
27th International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference
(FLAIRS-27)
Pensacola Beach, Florida, USA May 21-23, 2014

==============================================================================

The Florida AI Research Society (FLAIRS) hosts the conference in cooperation with the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) since 1988 so FLAIRS is one of the oldest AI conferences. The 27-th conference is organized at Pensacola Beach, Florida, USA in May 21-23, 2014. The special conference track on Intelligent Autonomous Systems welcomes papers from all areas bridging AI techniques and robotics applications. The special track is aimed to AI researchers who apply their research results in real environments using real or virtual agents/robots and to robotics researchers who are enhancing capabilities of their robots by higher-level reasoning.  

Papers and contributions are encouraged for any work bridging the AI methods and robotics. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

*	system architectures and software environments bridging sensory and action elements with reasoning capabilities
*	perception, cognition and action: intelligent sensors and vision systems, knowledge processing, motion systems
*	action planning and plan execution for autonomous systems
*	planning domain representation for real-life problems
*	automated extraction of planning domains
*	goal directed autonomy
*	evolutionary and cognitive robotics
*	applications of intelligent autonomous robots: exploration robots, service robots, robots for hazardous environments, ... 
*	human-robot interaction, using AI in entertainment robotics

Publication and Paper Submission:

Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI formatting guidelines. The papers should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or submitted to another conference while in review). Papers should not exceed 6 pages (4 pages for a poster) and are due by November 18, 2013. For FLAIRS-27, the 2014 conference, the reviewing is a double blind process. Fake author names and affiliations must be used on submitted papers to provide double-blind reviewing. Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system, which can be accessed through the main conference web site (http://www.flairs-27.info/). Note: do not use a fake name for your EasyChair login - your EasyChair account information is hidden from reviewers. Authors should indicate the Intelligent Autonomous Systems special track for submissions. The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. FLAIRS requires that there be at least one full author registration per paper.
