The conference has this year it’s 32nd edition and, since the first year, it has developed into one of the most important conferences in the field of applied information sciences in Central Europe. The Conference Proceedings are referenced in several international scientific databases. Last year’s conference was dedicated to the future, trends and impact of technology on the society, and this year’s edition is focused on a networked society. During the three days of the conference, 43 peer-reviewed scientific papers by 111 authors, from 15 countries, will be presented as part of 9 scientific sections. As part of the CECIIS 2021 International conference, in addition to the presentation of scientific papers, a Student Section is being organized.
