About MIWAI
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artificial Intelligence (AI) research has broad applications in real world
problems. Examples include control, planning and scheduling, pattern
recognition, knowledge mining, software applications and strategy games.
The ever-evolving needs in business both on a local and on a global scale
demand better technologies for solving more and more complex problems. Such
needs can be found in all industrial sectors and in any part of the world.

This workshop aims to be a meeting place where excellence in AI research
meets the needs for solving dynamic and complex problems in the real world.
The academic researchers, developers, and industrial practitioners will
have extensive opportunities to present their original work, technological
advances and practical problems. Participants can learn from each other and
exchange their experiences in order to fine tune their activities in order
to help each other better.

The main purposes of the MIWAI series of workshops are as follows:

. to provide a meeting place for AI researchers and practitioners in
Thailand and beyond.

. to inform Thai students about cutting-edge AI research via the presence
of outstanding international invited speakers.

. to raise the standards of practice of AI research in the whole of
Thailand by providing Thai researchers and students with feedback from an
internationally-renowned program committee.
