The computing world has witnessed during the 1990s many advances in areas such as mobile and enterprise computing.  The common underlying basis enabling the realization of various facets of these kinds of computing is Modeling, Simulation, and Artificial Intelligence. With the enterprise computing in areas as diverse as manufacturing, health organization, and commerce, the need for a disciplined, multifaceted, unified approach to modeling and simulation has become essential.

The 10^th anniversary of the AIS series of conferences will take place at its inaugural location of Tucson, Arizona, USA. AIS-2000, similar to its predecessors, provides a forum for scientists, academicians, and professionals alike from around the globe to present their latest and exciting research findings in various fields of artificial intelligence, collaborative/distributed computing, modeling, simulation, and their integration. Whereas some of these research areas continue to seek answers to basic fundamental scientific inquiries that have remained unanswered for more than half a century, other questions have emerged only recently due to advances in various areas of computing infrastructure, technologies, and techniques. The principal objective of this conference is to provide a unifying forum for developing postmodern AI-based modeling & simulation environments and their utilization in traditional application domains as well as those deemed to be vital in the new century.

The AI, Simulation, and Planning conference welcomes contributions in the topic areas listed below and those that emerge from their intersections. We also welcome proposals on special sessions and topics. Beside from technical sessions and invited keynote presentations the conference will feature paneldiscussions and workshops. For complete information on paper submission, author kit, registration, etc., please refer to the top of this page.
