State-of-the-art autonomous systems are not limited anymore to structured and fully defined environments. Current research covers aerial, under water, and automotive robotics as well as systems that are deployed to human-centered environments. The 10th International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems will bring together leading researchers interested in all aspects of autonomy and adaptivity of artificial systems. In the spirit of the previous stimulating meetings, the goal of this conference is to lay out new scientific ideas and design principles for artificial systems able to act in real-world environments and thus improve the quality of live in the human society.

The conference will be located in the beautiful southern-German City of Baden-Baden, about which Bill Clinton once said "Baden-Baden is so nice, that you have to name it twice".
