Started under the name NVKI, the BNVKI-AIABN (Belgian-Dutch Association
for Artificial Intelligence) was founded in 1981 by 19 enthousiastic
AI-researchers. After a startup period the association took the
initiative in 1988 for a yearly conference series, originally named
NAIC, but renamed to BNAIC, Belgian-Dutch Conference on Artificial
Intelligence, since 1999, to underline the transnational bonds between
the Netherlands and Belgium AI research. Since 2008, the association
chose to name the conference BNAIC: Benelux Conference on
Artificial Intelligence to reflect the incorporation of Luxembourg
into the association.
The main goals of the BNAIC are two-fold:
- to bring together AI researchers in the Netherlands and Belgium,
as a place to meet and to present research activities.
- to present high-quality research results, possibly already
published in international conferences or journals.
The format of the BNAIC is therefore a mixture of a meeting place and
a forum for good-quality research results. This forms a balance that
has proven to be successful in the previous years, as is shown by the
high number of participants each year.
Since 2004, the Proceedings of BNAIC are published under ISSN 1568-7805.
