With the help from the National Science Foundation of the United States, Rakuten Mobile, Innovation Studio, and Google, funds are available to support doctoral students to participate in ACSOS 2021 conference. Doctoral students from the world are encouraged to apply for the student registration grant to cover the registration cost of the conference. Please find more information at https://conf.researchr.org/info/acsos-2021/student-grant.

The registration for regular attendance is opened. As the ACSOS conference will be fully virtual, we are pleased to announce that the fees can be kept on a very low level and regular attendance fee is $50.

The submission of the camera ready version of accepted contributions of the ACSOS 2021 has been extended to August 20.

The registration for authors of papers is now possible. The registration for regular attendance will be opened later.

We are happy to announce a two-week extension to the abstract and paper submission deadlines for ACSOS paper submission.

The new dates are:

• April 30th, 2021: Abstract submission deadline (extended)
• May 7th, 2021: Paper submission deadline (extended)

Our hearts go out to all those who may be battling COVID-19. As a consequence of the unpredictable progress of the pandemic situation, the Organizing Committee decided that the ACSOS 2021 conference will take place virtually on the original dates (September 27 to October 1, 2021).

We would like to announce that selected papers of ACSOS 2021 will be invited to submit extended versions to a Special Issue on ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS)!
