INITIAL CALL FOR PAPERS

15th Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS’2020)

Sofia, Bulgaria, 6-9 September, 2020

www.fedcsis.org

Strict submission deadline: May 15, 2020, 23:59:59 pm HST (no extensions)

(FedCSIS IEEE conference number: #49059)


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: Web of 
Science (since 2012); 22 Technical Sessions in 5 Tracks; Doctoral 
Symposium; conference fee covers 4 lunches and 3 social events; Sofia – 
capital of Bulgaria, city history goes back to Roman times (with some, 
recently uncovered and made available to see, fascinating ruins of 
Serdika – which is how Sofia was known during Tracian and Roman times).

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. The 
mission of the FedCSIS Conference Series is to provide a highly 
acclaimed forum in computer science and information 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 information systems.

As in the previous years, FedCSIS 2020 will host a data mining 
challenge. It will be organized on a, recently re-designed, Knowledge 
Pit platform: https://knowledgepit.ml
The specific topic will be announced shortly, please check the 
competition site (or the conference portal). There will also be a 
special session devoted to this challenge at the FedCSIS 2020 conference.

Since 2012, Proceedings of the FedCSIS conference are indexed in the Web 
of Science, SCOPUS and other indexing services. This already includes 
Proceedings of FedCSIS 2018 (we are awaiting the decision for the 
FedCSIS 2019). Information about FedCSIS indexing / bibliometry / 
rankings can be found at: https://www.fedcsis.org/2020/indexation.
