ACOSIS 2019


Computer Networks & Wireless Communication Computer Security & Cryptography Computer Vision & Pattern Recognition Engineering & Computer Science (General) Fuzzy Systems Information Theory Real-time & Embedded Systems



During the last six years, ACOSIS has been organized as workshops. The first edition has been held at ENSAM-Meknes in 2010, 2011's edition was organized at ENSIAS-Rabat, the 2012 edition at FSO-Oujda, 2013's edition was held at EST- Meknes, in 2014 at FS-El Jadida. In 2016 ACOSIS was held as an international conference in its first edition at Marrakesh. The second edition of ACOSIS will be organized in Marrakesh on November 20-22, 2019.

The ACOSIS’19 is organized by ENSIAS college of Engineering, Association of Research and Innovation in Science and Technology (ARINST) in partnership with several institutions.

Accepted and registered papers will be published in the ACOSIS 2019 conference proceedings. It is planned to publish the proceedings with Springer in their Communications in Computer and Information Science series (final approval pending). CCIS is abstracted/indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, Scopus. CCIS volumes are also submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings.


Extended versions of selected distinguished papers will be published in a Special Issue of the International Journal of Computational Science & Applications (IJCSA).

The extended version of some of the best and presented papers in the conference (after their reviews) will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies (IJBC).

Interestingly, there is an open call for Special Sessions Proposals, with a submission deadline set as June 30, 2019. For more information about submitting a proposal for these special sessions, please download the Call for Special Sessions document.
