The 17th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing ICAISC 2018 will be held in Zakopane (situated in the High Tatra mountains), Poland on June 3-7, 2018 in Mercure Zakopane Kasprowy Hotel. The conference will provide an excellent opportunity for scientists and engineers to present and discuss the latest scientific results and methods. The conference will include keynote addresses, contributed papers, and numerous lectures and tutorials on a wide range of topics.

The working language of the conference is English. Only original, unpublished papers in the aforementioned fields are invited. Authors should submit an electronic version of papers by the conference web page. The papers should be organized in accordance with a common scientific structure (abstract, state of the art in the field, intention, used methodology, obtained results and references). Papers will be refereed by an international committee, and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the conference topics. After the notification of acceptance, authors will be allowed to make a correction in accordance with the suggestions of the reviewers and submit final camera-ready papers in Latex format only. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence distributed among the participants during the conference. Accepted papers must be presented by author(s) personally to be published in the conference proceedings.
