COVID-19 Information

Taking into account lack of certainty that it will be possible to organize the conference on-site (in Sofia) in September, we have decided to organize the conference 100% telepresence based. The new conference fee has been reduced to 150 euros and the new submission deadline is now July 3, 2020 for the regular papers. We are looking forward to e-meet you.


AIMS & SCOPE

SSE is a FedCSIS conference track aiming at integrating and creating synergy between technical sessions that thematically subscribe to the
discipline of software engineering. The track emphasizes the issues relevant to developing and maintaining software systems that behave
reliably, efficiently and effectively. This track investigates both established traditional approaches and modern emerging approaches to
large software production and evolution.

For decades, it is still an open question in software industry, how to provide fast and effective software process, and how to come to the
software systems, embedded systems, autonomous systems, or cyber-physical systems that will address the open issue of supporting information
management process in many, particularly complex organization systems. Even more, it is a hot issue how to provide a synergy between systems
in common and software services as mandatory component of each modern organization, particularly in terms of IoT, Big Data, and Industry 4.0
paradigms.

In recent years, we are the witnesses of great movements in the area of software and system engineering (SSE). Such movements are both of
technological and methodological nature. By this, today we have a huge selection of various technologies, tools, and methods in SSE as a
discipline that helps in a support of the whole information life cycle in organization systems. Despite that, one of the hot issues in
practice is still how to effectively develop and maintain complex systems from various aspects, particularly when software components
are crucial for addressing declared system goals, and their successful operation. It seems that nowadays we have great theoretical potentials
for application of new and more effective approaches in SSE. However, it is more likely that real deployment of such approaches in industry
practice is far behind their theoretical potentials.

The main goal of Track 5 is to address open questions and real potentials for various applications of modern approaches and technologies in
SSE so as to develop and implement effective software services in a support of information management and system engineering. We intend to
address interdisciplinary character of a set of theories, methodologies, processes, architectures, and technologies in disciplines such as:
Software Engineering Methods, Techniques, and Technologies, Cyber-Physical Systems, Lean and Agile Software Development, Design of Multimedia
and Interaction Systems, Model Driven Approaches in System Development, Development of Effective Software Services and Intelligent Systems,
as well as applications in various problem domains. We invite researchers from all over the world who will present their contributions,
interdisciplinary approaches or case studies related to modern approaches in SSE. We express an interest in gathering scientists and
practitioners interested in applying these disciplines in industry sector, as well as public and government sectors, such as healthcare,
education, or security services. Experts from all sectors are welcomed.

Track 5 includes technical sessions:

* Advances in Software and System Engineering (ASSE'20)
* Cyber-Physical Systems (7th Workshop IWCPS-7)
* Lean and Agile Software Development (4th International Conference LASD'20)
* Model Driven Approaches in System Development (6th Workshop MDASD'20)
* Software Engineering (40th IEEE Workshop SEW-40)

There is a possibility of selecting extended versions of the best papers from Track 5 presented during the conference for further procedure in
the journals: ComSIS, ISI IF(2018) = 0.620, and COLA, ISI IF(2017) = 0.971


IMPORTANT DATES

* Paper submission: July 3, 2020
* Position paper submission: July 17, 2020
* Author notification: August 1, 2020
* Final paper submission and registration: August 14, 2020

SUBMISSION GUIDLINES:

FedCSIS announces two separate calls for papers, with the deadlines for submissions about three weeks apart: Call for Regular Papers and
Call for Position Papers.

Papers submitted within the Call for Regular Papers can be accepted, by the event’s Program Committee, in one of the three categories:
full papers, short papers or communication papers.

Full and short papers constitute Proceedings of the FedCSIS conference – they are published electronically in a volume of “Annals of
Computer Science and Information Systems” (ACSIS) and are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
ACSIS Volumes with Proceedings of the FedCSIS conference are submitted for indexation in Web of Science, SCOPUS, DBLP, Index Copernicus and
other indexing services (see, Indexation for more details). Communication papers and Position papers are published in separate ACSIS volume(s)
and they are not submitted to the IEEE Xplore DL.
