Initiated in 1984, the biennial Artificial Intelligence: Methodology, Systems, Applications (AIMSA) conference is a premier
single-track forum for exchanging information and research results on theory and principles of artificial intelligence (AI)
along with real-world applications of intelligent system technology. The conference traditionally brings together
researchers and practitioners in all areas of AI from both the academia and industry to meet and share their ideas and
experiences and learn about the recent trends and developments in contemporary AI.

The 19th edition of AIMSA will be held in the beautiful Golden Sands resort near Varna, Bulgaria. With its mild climate
and excellent opportunities for outdoor activities, water sports and gastronomy, Golden Sands promise to be a wonderful
venue for a memorable conference.

TOPICS

The conference welcomes submissions of original, high quality papers in all areas of Artificial Intelligence, including (but
not limited to) traditional topics such as the algorithms, implementations and (or) real-world applications of knowledge
discovery, data mining, machine learning, evolutionary computing, pattern recognition, search, reasoning, planning,
natural language processing, intelligent agents, multiagent systems, robotics and sensing, etc.

All submissions will be subject to a single-blind academic peer review by at least two members of the program
committee. Selection criteria include accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of results, and quality of
presentation.
