We are offering a second round for submission of poster abstracts (up to

feedback. Each submitted poster abstract will be subject to an editorial
review to determine acceptability. Editors can make spelling,
grammatical, and formatting changes to the abstracts. All posters will
be presented according to space and time availability. An author of each
accepted poster abstract is required to register, attend, and present
the poster. It is a requirement of FLAIRS that there will be at least
one early regular author registration per submission.

Submissions must be original, and not submitted concurrently to another
conference. Abstract papers must be in AAAI format, and submitted as PDF

FLAIRS-27 will be published by the AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will
be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution
to AAAI. An author of each accepted paper is required to register,
