Call for Papers

Artificial Intelligence
Track 1, within 2020 Federated Conference on Computer Science and
Information Systems (FedCSIS'20)
https://fedcsis.org/2020/ai
Sofia, Bulgaria, 06-09 September 2020

************************* 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.
