15th Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS’2020)

Sofia, Bulgaria, 6-9 September, 2020

www.fedcsis.org

Strict submission deadline: July 3, 2020, 23:59:59 pm HST (no extensions)

(FedCSIS IEEE conference number: #49059)

Accepted regular papers, (video/tele)presented during the conference,
will appear as a volume of the ACSIS Series (with ISBN, ISSN and DOI
numbers) and will be submitted to the IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore
Digital Library.

************************* COVI-19 Information *************************

Taking into account lack of certainty that it will be possible to
organize the conference on-site (in Sofia) in September, we have decided
that there is no other way but to organize the conference 100%
telepresence/video-based. This decision makes us very sad, but we
believe that this is the best one we can make. This decision has
consequences. First, the new conference fee has been reduced to 150 euro
(for each contributed and accepted paper). Second, since we do not have
to deal with local arrangements, we can use the extra time and we have
established the new submission deadline. It is now July 3, 2020 for the
regular papers. We are looking forward to e-meet you.

Please feel free to forward this announcement to your colleagues and
associates who could be interested in it.

KEY FACTS: expected Proceedings: IEEE Digital Library; indexing: Web of
Science (since 2012); 22 Technical Sessions in 5 Tracks; Doctoral
Symposium; in 2020 a video/telepresence-based conference; conference fee
150 euro.

FedCSIS is an annual international conference, this year organized
jointly by the Polish Information Processing Society (PTI), IEEE Poland
Section Computer Society Chapter and Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The
mission of the FedCSIS Conference Series is to provide a highly
acclaimed forum in computer science and information systems. We invite
researchers from around the world to contribute their research results
and participate in Technical Sessions focused on their scientific and
professional interests in computer science and information systems.

As in the previous years, FedCSIS 2020 will host a data mining
challenge. It will be organized on a, recently re-designed, Knowledge
Pit platform:

https://knowledgepit.ai/fedcsis20-challenge/

There will also be a special session devoted to this challenge at the
FedCSIS 2020 conference.

Since 2012, Proceedings of the FedCSIS conference are indexed in the Web
of Science, SCOPUS and other indexing services. This already includes
Proceedings of FedCSIS 2018 (we are awaiting the decision for the
FedCSIS 2019). Information about FedCSIS indexing / bibliometry /
rankings can be found at: https://www.fedcsis.org/2020/indexation.
