SCOPE

Inter-disciplinary research plays a vital role in the development of research. There are common grounds on the methodologies and validation in different disciplines. There is also a growing interest in inter-disciplinary research, since it often requires teams of different experts to work and solve the problems together. Therefore, it makes sense if experts of different areas should have a platform to discuss and work together. We aim to develop a special session to allow participants of IoTBDS, COMPLEXIS and FEMIB conferences to present their work, share about their findings and have the opportunities to collaborate further. Relevant topics related to IoTBDS, COMPLEXIS and FEMIB are always welcome.
