Call for Technical Sessions
16th Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems
(FedCSIS 2021)

Sofia, Bulgaria, 6-9 September 2020
www.fedcsis.org

The 16th Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems
(FedCSIS 2021) cordially invites you to contribute a Technical Session
(symposium, workshop, consortium meeting, project dissemination meeting,
special session, etc.). The FedCSIS conferences consist of five Tracks
that contain Technical Sessions. Many of them are recurring yearly
events, but we solicit and welcome proposals for new Technical Sessions,
until January 21, 2021. Moreover, existing events that would like to
join the FedCSIS conference series, are also welcome. The Technical
Sessions can run over any span of time within the conference dates; from
half-day to three days.

FedCSIS is a large rigorous scientific conference staged across Europe.
Annually, it attracts ~300 submissions from ~30 countries from around
the world. Papers are accepted in three categories: regular (full and
short), position, and communication. All regular, presented, papers are
submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library, and many are offered
post-publication opportunities (journals, Springer volumes, etc.) after
appropriate extensions and changes. Position and communication papers
are published in separate volumes of the Annals of Computer Science and
Information systems series. All papers are published with ISBN, ISSN and
DOI numbers, and submitted to, and indexed in, most influential indexing
services. Since 2012, FedCSIS Proceedings are indexed in SCOPUS and Web
of Science.

Any newly proposed Technical Session will be evaluated on the basis of
scientific/technical interest and/or its relevance to practitioners in
its topics, the clarity of the proposal in addressing the requested
information, the innovativeness of the topics, and a “value-added” to
the denoted FedCSIS track, i.e.:
* Artificial Intelligence and Applications
* Computer Science and Systems
* Network Systems and Applications
* Information Technology for Management, Business & Society
* Software and Systems Development

Call for Papers, for Technical Sessions, will be announced by three
means: (1) by FedCSIS Chairs in generic Calls for Conference Papers, to
reach out to the computer science and information system researchers at
large; (2)  by Track Chairs in Calls for Track Papers, to reach out to
the researchers specifically interested in track topics; (3) by
Technical Session Chairs in Calls for Technical Session Papers, to reach
out to the professional communities involved in research addressed by
the Technical Session. All papers will have to be submitted to the
FedCSIS Conference System. However, in all cases, paper submitters will
have to select a Technical Session (event) within which their paper will
be reviewed for acceptance.

Technical Session proposals should include the following information (3
pages maximum):
1. The nature of the Technical Session (symposium, workshop, consortium
meeting, project dissemination meeting, special session, etc.).
2. The title and acronym of the Technical Session, and a list of topics.
3. A brief explanation of why the proposed session will fit into the
FedCSIS aims and program.
3. The contact information of the Technical Session chairs, including a
link to their personal websites, and an overview of previous experiences
with organization of scientific events.
4. Preliminary list of PC members who have agreed (or are likely to
agree) to join.
5. Indication of the expected number of papers/attendees.
6. Information of expected post-publications of extended and revised
papers in high-quality journals, edited volumes, etc.

Technical Session organizers should email their proposals (in a single
pdf file) by January 21, 2021 to the FedCSIS Secretariat at:
secretariat@fedcsis.org
