ITAT (Information technologies -- Applications and Theory) is annual European conference focused mostly on the results of young researcher's, PhD students and other scientists from the area of computer science.

Date: September 25--29, 2014

The conference is a platform for both the exchange of results and experiences in CS community as well as informal meetings in mountain resorts of Slovakia. Language of the conference is English since this year on, even though it used to be Czech and Slovak till last year.

Conference topics

The area of topics of the conference is broad and contains (not only):

• Software engineering (software specification, software design, design patterns, modelling, meta-models)
• Data and knowledge processing (XML technology, semantic web, ontologies, user preferences, data-mining, software agents, multi-agent systems)
• Security and thrust-management (cryptography, security, formal models, protocols, thrust)
• Computational intelligence (neural networks, genetic and evolutionary algorithms, fuzzy systems, artificial intelligence)
• Theoretical foundations of Computer science (theory, algorithms, computational complexity, languages, models, logics)
• Distributed computation (parallel and distributed systems and algorithms, models of distributed systems, parallel programs semantics)
• Mathematical and computational linguistic (formal language description, language data, applications of NLP)
• Didactics of Computer science

Workshops

The following three workshops will be part of the conference:

• Data mining a učení preferencí na webu (DMUPW 2014)
• Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (WCIDM 2014)
• Algorithmic Aspects of Complex Networks Analysis (WAACNA 2014)

Conference proceedings

Similarly to the last volume, the conference proceedings will be published in CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform and available either on-line on the conference, or printed via Amazon (see the proceedings from 2013). The proceedings is indexed by CEUR (ceur-ws.org?)
