The current international conference is intended to be an open space for the interchange of original ideas, valid theories, innovating experiences, results obtained, learned lessons and future research works, in the educational, scientific and industrial/commercial field. The exchange of knowledge, training, research and development in this triad encounter the following main and secondary issues, which are listed as follows.

All contributions –papers, workshops, demos, research-in-progress, posters, doctoral consortium, etc., should be of high quality, originality, clarity, significance and impact. In the current international conference it is demonstrated how with a correct integration among professionals of formal and factual sciences interesting research lines in the following subjects and other main areas are solicited on, but not limited to (alphabetical order):

Each one of those issues, which make the first international conference a priori extensive, is due to the fact that many of them stem from an intersection among several realms, fields and specialties to approach issues from different perspectives. The current list of topics mustn’t be regarded as a closed set, since the potential authors may include other issues of great interest right now or in the immediate future, for instance.
