Applied Informatics

Abstract

The Second International Conference on Applied Informatics (ICAI 2019) aimed to bring together researchers and practitioners working in different domains in the field of informatics in order to exchange their expertise and discuss the perspectives of development and collaboration. ICAI 2019 was held at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in Madrid, Spain, during November 7–9, 2019. It was organized by the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad Nacional de Loja, Universidad a Distancia de Madrid, and Bitrum research group. In addition, ICAI 2019 was proudly sponsored by the Information Technologies Innovation (ITI) research group, which belongs to the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, and Springer. ICAI 2019 received 98 submissions on informatics topics such as bioinformatics, data analysis, decision systems, health care information systems, IT architectures, learning management systems, robotic autonomy, security services, socio-technical systems, and software design engineering. Authors of the 98 submissions came from the following 24 countries: Argentina, Austria, Bolivia, China, Colombia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Germany, India, Iraq, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Nigeria, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, USA, and Vietnam. Moreover, 20 of the 98 submissions are international collaborations. All submissions were reviewed through a double-blind peer-review process. Each paper was reviewed by at least three experts. To achieve this, ICAI 2019 was supported by 87 Program Committee (PC) members, who hold PhD degrees. PC members come from the following 24 countries: Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, Colombia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK, USA, and Uruguay. Based on the double-blind review process, 38 full papers were accepted to be included in this volume of Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) proceedings published by Springer. Finally, we would like to thank Jorge Nakahara, Alfred Hofmann, Leonie Kunz, Sanja Evenson, and Manjula Anandan from Springer for their helpful advice, guidance, and support in publishing the proceedings.
