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


The FedCSIS 2021 Federated Conference invites submissions of POSITION
PAPERS to its respective events. Position papers must not exceed 8
pages and they should relate to an ongoing research or experience.
Position papers will be presented by the authors alongside regular
papers. Position papers may be also submitted as DEMO PAPERS and
presented as demonstrations of software tools and products. They
should describe non-for-profit software tools in a prototype-, alpha-,
or beta-version.


We invite TWO TYPES OF POSITION PAPERS:

- EMERGING RESEARCH PAPERS present preliminary research results from
work-in-progress based on sound scientific approach but presenting
work not completely validated as yet. They must describe precisely the
research problem and its rationale. They must also define the intended
future work including the expected benefits from solution to the
tackled problem.

- CHALLENGE PAPERS propose and describe research challenges in theory
or practice of computer science and information systems. The papers in
this category must be based on deep understanding of existing research
or industrial problems and should be defining new promising research
directions.
