************************* 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.
************************************************************************
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: DBLP,
Scopus and Web of Science; 13 Technical Sessions in 5 Tracks; Doctoral
Symposium; conference fee covers preparation of the proceedings volume.
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. It
is technically sponsored by a number of IEEE units and other
professional organizations (for the full list, see the conference site).
The mission of the FedCSIS Conference Series is to provide a highly
acclaimed forum in computer science and intelligence 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 intelligence systems.
Since 2012, Proceedings of the FedCSIS conference are indexed in the Web
of Science, SCOPUS, DBLP and other indexing services. This already
includes Proceedings of FedCSIS 2018 (we are awaiting the decision for
the FedCSIS 2019 and 2020; we are told that, recently, WoS is
experiencing unusual delays). Information about FedCSIS indexing /
bibliometry / rankings can be found at:
