Join us for the 23rd Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society
Conference (FLAIRS-23), which will be held May 19-21, 2010 at the Shores
Resort & Spa (http://www.shoresresort.com/) in Daytona Beach, Florida, USA.
FLAIRS-23 continues a tradition of presenting and discussing artificial
intelligence research in a convivial atmosphere within a beautiful setting.
Events will include invited speakers, special tracks, discussion panels, and
presentations of papers and posters.

Daytona Beach, on Florida's Atlantic coast, is famous for its sparkling
white beaches, up to 500 feet wide, with blue-green waters. Juan Ponce de
Leon landed near here in 1513, naming the land La Florida for its verdant
landscape, while legendarily searching for the Fountain of Youth. The fine,
hard-packed sand was used in the early 20th century for automobile racing
and land speed records. With natural beauty, sites of historical interest,
and a vibrant nightlife, Daytona Beach has become a favorite U.S. vacation
destination.
