Message from the IDAACS 2019 Co-Chairmen

It’s our pleasure to welcome all attendees the 2019 IEEE 10 International Conference on Intelligent Data Acquisition and Advanced Computing Systems: Technology and Applications (IDAACS), www.idaacs.net, which will be held in Metz, France, 18-21 September, 2019. The main goal of IDAACS’2019 is to provide a forum for high-quality reports on the state-ofthe-art Theory, Technology and Applications of Intelligent Data Acquisition and Advanced Computer Systems as used in different areas. A family of IDAACS Workshops has already been created since the IEEE 1st IDAACS Workshop was held in Foros, Crimea, Ukraine, July 1-4, 2001. After that the following IDAACS Conferences were held in Lviv, Ukraine, 2003, Sofia, Bulgaria, 2005, Dortmund, Germany, 2007, Rende (Cosenza), Italy, 2009, Prague, Czech Republic, 2011, Berlin, Germany, 2013, Warsaw, Poland, 2015, Bucharest, Romania, 2017. Moreover, IDAACS Symposia on Wireless Systems (SWS) were held in Offenburg, Germany in 2012, 2014, 2016 as well as in Lviv, Ukraine in 2018. The IDAACS 2019 Conference is organized by IEEE Ukraine Section I&M / CI Joint Societies Chapter and the Research Institute for Intelligent Computer Systems, Ternopil National Economic University (TNEU) and V.M. Glushkov Institute of Cybernetics, National Academy of Sciences, Ukraine in cooperation with the ENIM (Ecole Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Metz) and LCOMS (Laboratory of Conception, Optimisation and Modelling of Systems) of University of Lorraine, France. It is supported and sponsored by IEEE Ukraine Section, IEEE France Section, MDPI Sensors, Fondation ENIM, Metz Metropole, River Publishers, so we express our sincere gratitude to each of them. The International Program Committee of IDAACS’2019 is co-chaired by Francesca Guerriero, Italy and Carsten Wolff, Germany, many thanks to both of them. In addition, we express our gratitude for all members of IPC. There were submitted the 314 papers by authors from the 42 countries. Many thanks to all the reviewers, their names are listed in the proceedings and their contribution to the quality and success of this Conference. After the reviewing process, the 213 papers were accepted for a publication in the Conference proceedings. All the presentations are organized into the 27 oral and the 3 poster sessions. In addition, three prominent experts are invited to deliver keynotes during plenary sessions: Jürgen Sieck, University of Applied Sciences, Berlin, Germany; Kurosh Madani, Paris-Est Créteil Val-de-Marne University, France; and Fabio Scotti, University of Milan, Italy. We appreciate their contribution to the IDAACS 2019 Conference very much. Besides, the IDAACS 2019 remained its peculiarity providing seven special streams, and Workshops on Cyber Physical Systems and Internet of Things with 11 sessions. Metz is the economic heart of the Lorraine region, it’s home to the University of Lorraine. The university has over 60000 students, close to 6900 staff members, among which 3700 faculty and searchers, 43 teaching departments, 60 research centers, and several campuses in the entire region. Several important universities are mentioned such as the Pole Universitaire Europeen de Nancy Metz, Georgia Tech Lorraine, Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Metz (ENIM). The city economy relies on the sectors of commerce, tourism, information technology, and the metallurgical and automotive industries. The city is a center for applied research and development in the materials sector, notably in metallurgy and metallography. Lastly, we would like to thank all our friends and colleagues from the previous IDAACS’ conferences as well as new participants coming in Metz to discuss the latest achievements in the fields of Intelligent Data Acquisition and Advanced Computer Systems! Enjoy attending the IDAACS’19 conference and the charm city of Metz!
