December 12-14, 2023

HIS 2023 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person and fully virtually to take advantage of the best that the two modalities can offer.. Besides regular paper presentations, the technical programme will include 8-10 plenary lectures and poster sessions. HIS 2023 Organising Committee also recognises the benefits of virtual conferences allowing participation at a cheaper rate. This allows a higher number of research scholars and students to attend. Selected authors will have the option to attend and present the papers virtually or present in one of the four venues in Europe and Asia.

Proceedings of HIS'23 will be published with Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series. (https://www.springer.com/series/15179) (Approval Pending)

**About HIS 2023**
------------------

Hybridization of intelligent systems is a promising research field of modern
artificial/computational intelligence concerned with the development of
the next generations of intelligent systems. A fundamental stimulus to
Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS) investigations is the awareness in the
academic communities about the necessity of the combined approaches to
solving the remaining challenging problems in artificial/computational
intelligence. Hybrid Intelligent Systems are recently getting popular
due to their capabilities in handling several real-world complexities
involving imprecision, uncertainty, and vagueness. HIS'23 built on the
success of the previous HIS conferences. HIS'23 is the 23rd
International conference that brings together researchers, developers,
practitioners, and users of soft computing, computational intelligence,
agents, logic programming, and several other intelligent computing
techniques. It aims to increase the awareness of the research community
about the broad spectrum of hybrid approaches. It brings together
worldwide AI researchers to present their cutting-edge results, discuss
the current trends in HIS research, and develop a collective vision of
future opportunities. Thereby helping the researchers and practitioners
establish international collaborative opportunities, and as a result,
advancing the state-of-the-art of the field.
