*** AIM AND SCOPE The ISSA (Intelligent Systems, Services and Applications) track of the 17th international conference SITIS will focus on recent concepts, architectures, protocols, and methodologies for emerging AI development and information management issues in modern distributed systems such as Cloud, Edge, Fog, and IoT. Nowadays, an unlimited number of smart objects relate to the scope of making our environment more interactive. Information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, devices and objects can be efficiently connected, and communities of users with similar interests can be formed to achieve their goals proficiently and improve performance. 

New issues and challenges are emerging in this pervasive and collaborative world, ranging from the need for high-accurate AI and decision systems able to adapt to changing environments to the need to protect the users' safety, security, and privacy, which are increasingly seen as yet another component of these systems. To address the above issues and challenges, modern systems and applications are increasingly based on ML/AI models made available thanks to the vast amount of data and the increased networking performance (e.g., 5G low latency). “Big Data” has become a new ubiquitous term. Big Data is transforming science, engineering, medicine, healthcare, finance, business, and ultimately our society itself. 

Novel architectures and solutions are being proposed promoting this incoming Intelligent Web era, ranging over enhanced machine-to-machine communications, resource sharing and processing of linked data and devices, distributed computing and cooperative systems, mobile information systems and services, semantic-based applications and intelligent data processing, advanced distributed learning and AI model ensemble strategies to state a few examples. On top of this, novel data security and privacy protocols, as well as assurance and certification approaches, need to be designed and implemented to guarantee a given level of trustworthiness and reliability on modern systems and applications. ISSA track aims to provide an international forum for researchers, professionals, and industrial practitioners to share their experiences and knowledge in this growing and highly important area of Internet and Web technologies.
