Hybridization of intelligent systems is a promising research field of modern artificial/computational intelligence concerned with the development of the next generation of intelligent systems. A fundamental stimulus to the investigations of Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS) is the awareness in the academic communities that combined approaches will be necessary if the remaining tough problems in artificial/computational intelligence are to be solved. Recently, Hybrid Intelligent Systems are getting popular due to their capabilities in handling several real-world complexities involving imprecision, uncertainty, and vagueness. HIS'2021 builds on the success of last year's.

HIS'2021 is the 20th International conference that brings together researchers, developers, practitioners, and users of soft computing, computational intelligence, agents, logic programming, and several other intelligent computing techniques. The aim of HIS'2021 is to serve as a forum to present current and future work as well as to exchange research ideas in this field.

HIS'2021 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work that demonstrates current research using soft computing, computational intelligence, and other intelligent computing techniques and their applications in science, technology, business, and commerce.
