CALL FOR POSITION PAPERS

14th Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2019) Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany, 1-4 September, 2019

Strict submission deadline: June 04, 2019, 23:59:59 pm HST (no extensions) (www.fedcsis.org; FedCSIS IEEE conference number: #45574)

KEY FACTS: publication: IEEE event (multiple units); 26 events in 5 focal areas; conference fee covers lunches and 3 social events; Leipzig - historical town in Eastern Germany, place where J.S. Bach spent most of his life / professional career.

The FedCSIS 2019 Federated Conference invites submissions of POSITION PAPERS to its respective events. Position papers must not exceed 8 pages and they should relate to an ongoing research or experience. Position papers will be presented by the authors alongside regular papers. Position papers may be also submitted as DEMO PAPERS and presented as demonstrations of software tools and products. They should describe non-for-profit software tools in a prototype-, alpha-, or beta-version.

We invite TWO TYPES OF POSITION PAPERS:

- EMERGING RESEARCH PAPERS present preliminary research results from work-in-progress based on sound scientific approach but presenting work not completely validated as yet. They must describe precisely the research problem and its rationale. They must also define the intended future work including the expected benefits from solution to the tackled problem.

- CHALLENGE PAPERS propose and describe research challenges in theory or practice of computer science and information systems. The papers in this category must be based on deep understanding of existing research or industrial problems and should be defining new promising research directions.
