***************************** COVI-19 Information
*****************************

We would like to assure everybody that FedCSIS 2020 will take place,
the submitted and accepted papers will be published and sent for
indexations as usual.
In case the conference cannot be staged in real setting of beautiful Sofia,
we will provide a virtual web-based avenue for it. We look forward to
receiving your
contributions as usual and guarantee that FedCSIS 2020 will be another
memorable and rewarding conference.

Nevertheless, we would like to stress that in case of inability to be
physically
present at the FedCSIS Conference, due to travel restrictions, the FedCSIS
paper authors
will be allowed to remotely present their papers.

*******************************************************************************


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.
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 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. Second, since we do not have to deal with
local arrangements, we can use the extra time we have to establish the new
submission deadline. It is now July 3, 2020 for the regular papers. We are
looking forward to e-meet you.


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.ai/fedcsis20-challenge/
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.
