***************************** 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: https://www.fedcsis.org/2021/indexation.

ZDZIS£AW PAWLAK BEST PAPER AWARD

The Professor Zdzis≥aw Pawlak Awards are given in two categories: Best Paper and Best Student Paper. Each award carries a prize of 300 EUR founded by the Mazowsze Chapter of the Polish Information Processing Society. The awards have been originally associated with the International Symposium on Advanced Artificial Intelligence in Applications (AAIA) held every year as a part of FedCSIS. Currently, all papers accepted to FedCSIS are eligible to be considered as the award winners. 

This award will be awarded independently from awards given by individual FedCSIS events (Tracks and/or Technical Sessions).

Past Award winners can be found here: https://fedcsis.org/2021/zp_award
