Topical Area 2: Computer Science & Systems
(CSS)

Kraków, Poland, 14-17 September, 2025

This Topical Area covers technical (or applicable) aspects of computer science and related disciplines. The Topical Area spans themes ranging from hardware issues close to the discipline of computer engineering via software issues tackled by the theory and applications of computer science, and to issues of interest to distributed, smart, data-oriented, multimedia and network systems.

The Topical Area is oriented on the research where the computer science meets the real world problems, real constraints, simulations and processing, model objectives, etc. in order to deliver Intelligence Systems. However the scope is not limited to applications, we all know that all of them were born from the innovative theory developed in the laboratory. We want to show the fusion of these two worlds. Therefore one of the goals for the Topical Area is to show how the idea is transformed into application, since the history of modern science shows the most successful research experiments had their continuation in the real world.

This Topical Area aims at giving an international panel where researchers will have a chance to promote their recent advances in applied computer science both from theoretical and practical side.
