We are pleased to inform you that the 2021 IEEE International Conference on INnovations in Intelligent SysTems and Applications (INISTA) will be held in Kocaeli, Turkey on August 25-27, 2021. IEEE INISTA 2021 is organized by the Department of Information Systems Engineering, Kocaeli University in cooperation with Yildiz Technical University, Turkey.

We strongly believe that the situation with COVID-19 virus will be normalized and that we will meet at the end of August in 2021. But, If the pandemic and uncertainties regarding travel restrictions continue, there is a possibility that the conference will be held on a hybrid basis.

IEEE INISTA 2021 conference is technically sponsored by IEEE and IEEE SMC Society on TC on Computational Collective Intelligence. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, available on IEEE Xplore and submitted to be indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection databases.

Extended versions of the best papers accepted and presented at IEEE INISTA 2021 will be considered for publication in a special issue of internationally recognized journals. The names of the journals will be announced later.

The topics of interest cover the entire spectrum of the multi-disciplinary fields of intelligent systems and related applications from theoretical and practical point of view. In particular, but not exclusively the submissions within the following major areas are relevant and welcome:
