Initiated in 1984, the biennial Artificial Intelligence: Methodology,
Systems, Applications (AIMSA) conference is a premier forum for exchanging
information and research results on AI theory and principles along with
applications of intelligent system technology. The conference traditionally
brings together academic and industrial researchers from all areas of AI to
share their ideas and experiences and learn about the research in
contemporary AI. Under the general theme of "AI in the Data Driven World",
the 17th edition of AIMSA will be held in the beautiful Varna area,
Bulgaria. With excellent opportunities for outdoor activities, water sports
and gastronomy, Varna promises to be a wonderful venue for a memorable
conference.
