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 through the

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
