The INISTA series of conferences aims to bring together researchers from the entire spectrum of the multi-disciplinary fields of intelligent systems and establish effective means of communication between them. In particular, it focuses on all aspects of intelligent systems and their related applications from the points of view of both theory and practice.

The conference will consist of regular sessions with technical contributions (regular papers) reviewed and selected by an international program committee, as well as invited talks presented by leading scientists. Apart from the main track, it includes workshops, tutorials, special sessions, and plenary talks by invited speakers. The official language of the conference will be English.

The 18th International Conference on Innovations in Intelligent Systems and Applications INISTA'2024, continues the tradition of INISTA conferences held in Istanbul (2011), Trabzon (2012), Albena (2013), Alberobello (2014), Madrid (2015), Sinaia (2016), Gdynia (2017), Thessaloniki (2018), Sofia (2019), Novi Sad (2020), Kocaeli (2021), Biarritz (2022), Hammamet (2023).

IEEE INISTA 2024 is organized by the Department of Computers and Information Technology, Faculty of Automation, Computers, and Electronics, and the Department of Statistics and Business Informatics, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, University of Craiova, Romania. The conference will be hosted in Craiova, Romania.

Accepted papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings, which will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements. The best papers may be considered for publication in Special Issues of IF journals.
