December 12-14, 2023

*Organized Special Sessions and Workshops Details*: https://mirlabs.org/his23/cfss.php

HIS 2023 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person and virtually to take advantage of the best the two modalities can offer. Besides regular paper presentations, the technical programme will include 8-10 plenary lectures and poster sessions. HIS 2023 Organising Committee also recognizes the benefits of virtual conferences allowing participation at a cheaper rate. This allows a higher number of research scholars and students to attend. Selected authors can attend and present the papers virtually or in one of the four venues in Europe and Asia.

*Proceedings of HIS'23 *will be published with Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series. ( https://www.springer.com/series/15179)

***Important Dates*** --------------------- Paper submission due (Extended deadline): *September 30, 2023 (October 20, 2023)* Notification of paper acceptance: October 31, 2023 Registration and Final manuscript due: November 10, 2023 Conference: December 12-14, 2023

***About HIS 2023*** ------------------

Hybridization of intelligent systems is a promising research field of modern artificial/computational intelligence concerned with the development of the next generations of intelligent systems. A fundamental stimulus to Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS) investigations is the awareness in the academic communities about the necessity of the combined approaches to solving the remaining challenging problems in artificial/computational intelligence. Hybrid Intelligent Systems are recently getting popular due to their capabilities in handling several real-world complexities involving imprecision, uncertainty, and vagueness. HIS'23 built on the success of the previous HIS conferences. HIS'23 is the 23rd International conference that brings together researchers, developers, practitioners, and users of soft computing, computational intelligence, agents, logic programming, and several other intelligent computing techniques. It aims to increase the awareness of the research community about the broad spectrum of hybrid approaches. It brings together worldwide AI researchers to present their cutting-edge results, discuss the current trends in HIS research, and develop a collective vision of future opportunities. Thereby helping the researchers and practitioners establish international collaborative opportunities, and as a result, advancing the state-of-the-art of the field.
