[agents] FedCSIS 2017 - CALL FOR EVENTS

[Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems]

Call for Events
Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems
Prague, Czech Republic, 4-7 September, 2017
www.fedcsis.org

The 2017 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information 
Systems cordially invites you to consider contributing an Event 
(conference, symposium, workshop, consortium meeting, research 
dissemination meeting, special session). The FedCSIS multi-conference 
consists of a significant number of recurring Events and it welcomes 
proposals for new Events until November 2, 2016. The Events can run over 
any span of time within the conference dates; from half-day to three days.

The FedCSIS Events provide a platform for bringing together researchers, 
practitioners, and academia to present and discuss ideas, challenges, 
and potential solutions on established or emerging topics related to 
research and practice in computer science and information systems.

The Events will be selected based on the scientific/technical interest 
and/or their relevance to practitioners in their topics, the clarity of 
the proposal in addressing the requested information, the innovativeness 
of the Event topics, and the fit with the FedCSIS multi-conference program.

The FedCSIS 2016 - held in Gdańsk, Poland – attracted 512 papers, of 
which 130 were accepted as full papers (acceptance rate of approximately 
25%). Some events accepted additionally short and position papers. 
FedCSIS 2014 full and short papers are being submitted to the IEEE 
Xplore Digital Library, while position papers are being published in a 
separate volume of the Annals of Computer Science and Information 
systems series (publication process will be completed by October 30, 2016).

Publications

As in previous years, FedCSIS preprints will be published on a USB 
memory stick given to FedCSIS participants. Only papers presented during 
the conference will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library (or 
will appear as position papers, published in a separate volume, which 
will not be submitted to the IEEE), and posted at the conference WWW 
site. The IEEE DL proceedings will be published with an ISBN, ISSN, IEEE 
Catalog and DOI numbers, under a nonexclusive copyright. Such copyright 
implies that Events' organizers can and, indeed, are strongly encouraged 
to invite extended and revised papers for post-conference publications 
in high-quality journals, edited volumes, etc. Position Papers volume 
will be published with ISBN, ISSN and DOI numbers.
