COMPSAC 2020
Madrid, Spain
July 13-17, 2020

COMPSAC is the IEEE Computer Society Signature Conference on Computers, Software and Applications. It is a major
international forum for academia, industry, and government to discuss research results and advancements, emerging challenges,
and future trends in computer and software technologies and applications. The theme of COMPSAC 2020 is "Driving Intelligent
Transformation of the Digital World".
Staying relevant in a constantly evolving digital landscape is a challenge faced by researchers, developers, and producers in
virtually every industry and area of study. Once limited to software-enabled devices, the ubiquity of digitally-enabled systems
makes this challenge a universal issue. Furthermore, as relevance fuels change, many infl uencers will off er solutions that benefi t
their own priorities. Fortunately, history has shown that the building blocks of digital change are forged by those conducting
foundational research and development of digital systems and human interactions. Artifi cial Intelligence is not new, but is
much more utilized in everyday computing now that data and processing resources are more economically viable, hence widely
available. The opportunity to drive the use of this powerful tool in transforming the digital world is yours. Will your results
help defi ne the path ahead, or will you relegate those decisions to those with diff erent priorities for utilizing intelligence in
digital systems? COMPSAC has been and continues to be a highly respected venue for the dissemination of key research on
computer and software systems and applications, and has infl uenced fundamental developments in these fi elds for over 40
years. COMPSAC 2020 is your opportunity to add your mark to this ongoing journey, and we highly encourage your submission!
COMPSAC 2020, organized as a tightly integrated union of symposia, will focus on technical aspects of issues relevant to
intelligent transformation of the digital world. The technical program will include keynote addresses, research papers,
industrial case studies, fast abstracts, a doctoral symposium, poster sessions, and workshops and tutorials on emerging and
important topics related to the conference theme. Highlights of the conference will include plenary and specialized panels that
will address the technical challenges facing researchers and practitioners who are driving fundamental changes in intelligent
systems and applications. Panels will also address cultural and societal challenges for a society whose members must continue
to learn to live, work, and play in the environments the technologies produce.
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research work, as well as industrial practice reports. Simultaneous
submission to other publication venues is not permitted except as highlighted in the COMPSAC 2020 J1C2 & C1J2 program. All
submissions must adhere to IEEE Publishing Policies, and will be vetted through the IEEE CrossCheck portal. Further info is
available at www.compsac.org.
