We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper 
to CEIM 2014 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer 
Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2014).

FedCSIS is an annual international multi-conference organized by the 
Polish Information Processing Society (PTI) in technical cooperation 
with the IEEE Region 8, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Poland Section 
Computer Society Chapter, IEEE Poland (Gdansk) Section Computer Society 
Chapter, ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, ACM Lodz 
Chapter, International Federation for Information Processing, European 
Alliance for Innovation, Informatics Europe, IEEE-CIS Poland Section 
Chapter, Asociación de Técnicos de Informática, Committee of Computer 
Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Polish Society for Business 
Informatics, Polish Chamber of Information Technology and 
Telecommunications, Polish Chamber of Commerce for High Technology and 
Eastern Cluster ICT Poland, Mazovia Cluster ICT.

Event modelling is a method of intelligent analyzing streams of 
information (data, percepts) about things that happen (events), and 
deriving conclusions from them. The goal of CEIM is to identify 
meaningful events and respond to them appropriately and quickly. We 
define the complexity of the event as both the complexity of the 
modelled physical phenomenon (fire, weather, chemical reaction, 
biological process) as well as the heterogeneity of the data (digital 
images, percepts, sensory data, natural language, semi-structured and 
structured data). In addition, the emphasis should be placed on the 
intelligent aspect of these models. This means that systems should semi- 
autonomously perceive their environment and take action.
The workshop on Complex Events and Information Modelling provides an 
interdisciplinary forum for researchers and developers. The workshop is 
mostly intended for applications of Artificial Intelligence in Fire 
Safety domain, but we also encourage researchers from other fields: 
health care, smart buildings, ubiquitous computing, process mining and 
others. The workshop covers the whole range of theoretical and practical 
aspects, technologies and systems and aims at bringing together 
specialists for exchanging ideas and promote interdisciplinary discussions.

organizers arrange quality journals, edited volumes, etc. and may invite 
selected extended and revised papers for post-conference publications 
(information can be found at the websites of individual events).
