Call for papers

We cordially invite you to submit your papers and attend the IEEE – 6th South-East Europe Design Automation, Computer Engineering, Computer Networks and Social Media Conference, which will be held in Preveza, Greece, September 24th-26th 2021, and it will be jointly organized by the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Western Macedonia, Greece, and the Departments of Informatics & Telecommunications and Accounting & Finance, University of Ioannina, Greece. The conference will be hybrid, allowing physical and online attendance.

The South-East Europe Design Automation, Computer Engineering, Computer Networks and Social Media Conference (SEEDA-CECNSM 2021), in its 6th year, will provide an insight into the unique world stemming from the interaction between the fields of computer engineering, networks and Design Automation. SEEDA-CECNSM 2021 will provide an international technical forum for experts from the engineering industry and academia to exchange ideas, innovations, and present results of on-going research in the most state-of-the-art areas. The conference covers many topics under areas of Design Automation, Computer Engineering and Computer Networks.

SEEDA-CECNSM 2021 will be technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society and all papers will be indexed by IEEE Xplore, DBLP and Scopus.
