It is organized jointly by the Polish Information Processing Society (PTI), IEEE Poland Section Computer Society Chapter, Systems Research Institute Polish Academy of Sciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Information Sciences of the Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the Rzeszow University of Technology, University of Technology and Arts, Warsaw, Poland. The FedCSIS 2026 is organized in Riga by the Riga Technical University. FedCSIS 2026 is technically sponsored by a large number of IEEE units (including six Sections from Region 8) and other professional organizations (for the full list, see the conference site – right hand side). FedCSIS 2026 is organized under patronage of: Poland Chapter of INFORMS, Latvian Information and communications technology association (LIKTA), Natinal Society of Informatics in Economics (NtiE), International Rough Set Society (IRSS), Academic Forum, Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC), Polish Neural Network Society (PNNS), European Society for Fuzzy Logic and Technology (EUSFLAT), and Polish Artificial Intelligence Society (PSSI). Reports from past editions of FedCSIS can be found in the Archive section of the conference WWW site. * \*\*\* Statement concerning Generative AI: Recognizing the developing issue that affects all academic disciplines (including conference and publications), we would like to explicitly state that, in principle, papers that include unedited text generated from Generative AI (GenAI), including large language models, are prohibited. If the author(s) uses GenAIs to prepare technical aspects of the research (e.g., use of GenAI-generated program code in experiments or simulations), this fact must be clearly marked in the paper, along with an analysis of the impact of this approach on the research results. In addition, it is permissible to use GenAI models at the stage of editorial correction, as long as the changes made are minor and do not substantively affect the article. If, at any time after the conference, it will be discovered that an LLM was explicilty used (and not properly recognized) such contribution will be retracted from the post-conference publication. Overall, it should be emphasized that full responsibility for the content of the publication lies with the author(s). Therefore, any inappropriate, or unethical, use of GenAI models in the preparation of an article may result in its immediate rejection.

This will be our last group before a break for summer. We will continue the conversation of who Jesus Christ is to each one of us personally.

We'll be there from 5-7 but you are welcome to come any time during the two hours. Hope to see you there! Have a very good summer!

Wednesday is karaoke day. Every Wednesday we gather to sing. Come with a friend or alone, with or without a voice. The format is simple: show up, grab a microphone, and sing whatever you want. Or don't sing, just support others. As usual, the meeting place is Top Club. If you haven't been before, you can get to know the space at the same time. We're looking forward to seeing you this Wednesday. See you there! Trešdiena ir karaoke diena. Katru trešdienu mēs pulcējamies dziedāt. Nāc ar draugu vai viens, ar balsi vai bez. Formāts ir vienkāršs: nāc, paņem mikrofonu un dziedi, ko vien vēlies. Vai arī nedzied, vienkārši atbalsti citus. Kā parasti, tikšanās vieta ir Top klubs. Ja iepriekš neesi tur bijis, vari vienlaikus iepazīties ar vietu. Gaidīsim ciemos šajā trešdienā. Tiekamies tur!

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room. This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us. COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.

Join us for our May Book Club gathering where we will come together to discuss *[Cantoras](https://caroderobertis.com/books/cantoras/)*[ ](https://caroderobertis.com/books/cantoras/)by [Caro de Robertis](https://caroderobertis.com/bio/) in a safe and welcoming environment. Make new friends who share your passion for books and connect with fellow LGBTQ book enthusiasts.

Let’s meet and wander the galleries! General admission on Sundays is free.

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** TBD **YouTube Link** TBD
