CSIT is an annual international forum for presentation of new results in research, development, and applications in computing and information. The organizers expect both practitioners and theorists to attend. The workshop will consist of regular sessions with technical contributions reviewed and selected by an international program committee, invited talks by leading experts, tutorials, and special sections like industrial programs and posters on ongoing international research projects. Conference organizers specially encourage international cooperation projects consortia to present the results of their projects during the conference. Workshop provides special sections to Ph.D. students contributions. Selected presentations and contributions are to be identified for development into full proceeding papers. Papers with student as a primary author will be specially considered. The submissions will be judged not only for scientific quality but also for suitability as a basis for broader discussion. Place of Workshop: The workshop will take place in Conference and Cultural Center of the University of Patras, Greece. The University of Patras is situated at Rio, a small suburb of Patras (one of the biggest ports in Greece) in the South Western Greece (3 hours by bus or train from Athens).
