Call for Thematic Sessions - 20th Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems

 Call for Thematic Sessions

20th Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems

FedCSIS 2025; www.fedcsis.org

Kraków, Poland, 14-17 September 2025

The 20th Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems (FedCSIS
2025) cordially invites you to organize a Thematic Session. The FedCSIS
conferences consist of the Main Track, which recognizes five Topical Areas:

+ Advanced Methods of Artificial Intelligence
+ Computer Science and Data Processing
+ Networked Intelligence Systems and Security
+ Information Technology for Business and Society
+ Intelligent Software and Service Engineering



The role of Thematic Sessions is to enrich and deepen coverage of the five
Topical Areas discerned within the Main Track. Many of Thematic Sessions
are recurring yearly events, but we also solicit and welcome proposals for
new one, until November 26, 2024. The Thematic Sessions can run over any
span of time within the conference dates; from half-day to three days
(depending on the number of collected submissions).

FedCSIS is a large rigorous scientific conference staged across Europe.
Annually, it attracts ~300 submissions from ~40 countries from around the
world. Papers are accepted in three categories: regular (full and short),
position, and communication. All regular, presented, papers are submitted
to IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Moreover, many Technical Sessions offer
post-publication opportunities (journals, Springer volumes, etc.) after
appropriate extensions and changes. Position and communication papers are
published in separate volumes of the Annals of Computer Science and
Information Systems book series. All papers are published with ISBN, ISSN
and DOI numbers, and submitted to, and indexed in, the most influential
indexing services. Since 2012, the FedCSIS Proceedings are indexed in
SCOPUS and Web of Science.


Any newly proposed Thematic Session will be evaluated on the basis of
scientific/technical interest and/or its relevance to practitioners in its
topics, the clarity of the proposal in addressing the requested
information, the innovativeness of the topics, level of correspondence and
“value-added” to the FedCSIS Main Track. It is important to stress that the
newly proposed Thematic Sessions should be “thematically orthogonal” to the
ones offered in the past (in 2024, in particular). Moreover, it is expected
that the organizers of the Thematic Sessions will represent at least three
different countries.



Call for Papers for the Thematic Sessions will be announced by: (1) by
FedCSIS Chairs in generic Calls for Conference Papers, to reach out to the
computer science and intelligence systems researchers at large;  and (2) by
Thematic Session Organizers in Call for Thematic Session Contributions, to
reach out to the professional communities involved in research addressed by
the Thematic Session. All papers (for the Main Track and Thematic Sessions)
will have to be submitted to the FedCSIS Conference System (EasyChair).


Thematic Session proposals should include the following information (3
pages maximum):
1. The title and acronym of the proposed Thematic Session, and the list of
topics.

2. A brief explanation of why the proposed Thematic Session will fit into
the FedCSIS aims and program, including its relation to the selected
Topical Areas of the Main Track.
3. The contact information of the Thematic Session Organizers, including
their affiliations, links to their personal websites (Google Scholar
profile, in particular), and an overview of previous experiences with
organization of scientific events.
4. Preliminary list of Reviewers who have agreed (or are likely to agree)
to join. Thematic Session Reviewers will become members of the Program
Committee of FedCSIS 2025.
5. Indication of the expected number of papers/attendees.
6. Information about planned post-publications of extended and revised
papers in high-quality journals, edited volumes, etc.


Thematic Session Organizers should email their proposals (in a single pdf
file) by November 26, 2024 to the FedCSIS Secretariat at:
secretariat@fedcsis.org
