The Annual International Workshop on Advances in Methods of Information and Communication Technology (AMICT’2021) is a result of the long-term cooperation between the computer science departments of the Universities of Helsinki and Petrozavodsk. Starting from 1994, the workshop was entitled “Finnish Data Processing week (FDPW) at the University of Petrozavodsk” and starting from 2006 the early name FDPW has been changed to current name AMICT. History of AMICT workshop can be found here and programs of the previous seminars are here.
