Track within 2021 Federated Conference on Computer Science and
Intelligence Systems (FedCSIS'21; IEEE #52320)

************************* COVID-19 Information *************************

While we have planned the 2021 conference to take place in Sofia,
Bulgaria, slow progress in fighting the global pandemic has forced us to
switch to the fully online mode. Therefore, we plan to organize FedCSIS
2022 in Sofia, and hope that by that time COVID will be over, and we
will be able to meet in person.

FOR PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINES SEE THE BOTTOM OF THIS MESSAGE

This track is a continuation of international AAIA symposiums, which
have been held since 2006. It aims at establishing the synergy between
technical sessions, which encompass wide range of aspects of AI. With
its longest-tradition threads, such as WCO focusing on Computational
Optimization, it is also open to new initiatives categorized with
respect to both, the emerging AI-related methodologies and practical
usage areas. Nowadays, AI is usually perceived as closely related to the
data, therefore, this track’s scope includes the elements of Machine
Learning, Data Quality, Big Data, etc. However, the realm of AI is far
richer and our ultimate goal is to show relationships between all of its
subareas, emphasizing a cross-disciplinary nature of the research
branches such as XAI, HCI, and many others.
AAIA'21 brings together scientists and practitioners to discuss their
latest results and ideas in all areas of Artificial Intelligence. We
hope that successful applications presented at AAIA'21 will be of
interest to researchers who want to know about both theoretical advances
and latest applied developments in AI.

AAIA’21 is technically supported by: International Rough Sets Society.
