The 33rd FRUCT conference is organized together by the FRUCT Association, the University of Zilina, and IEEE ComSoc. The conference will be held as a hybrid event, i.e., both on-site and online participation are allowed.

Conference overview:
FRUCT conference is a high-quality scientific event for meeting academia and business people and setting up projects. The average conference is attended by 150+ participants from academia and industry. The average acceptance rate is 40%. Traditionally the conference attracts the most active and talented students to present their R&D projects, meet interesting colleagues, create new teams, and find employers and investors. The conference invites world-class academic and industrial experts to lecture on the hottest topics. We welcome everybody to submit papers and take part in the conference, presenting your research results. The FRUCT conference allows both onsite and online participation.
The conference offers a low registration fee. For further details please refer to http://www.fruct.org/registration.

Submissions:
You can select one of the following 3 types of submissions:
- Full papers (min 6 full pages and up to 12 pages), deadline: 24 March 2023;
- Short papers (min 2 pages, max 6 pages), deadline: 24 March 2023;
- Poster or demo summary (min 200 words, max 4 pages), deadline: 5 May 2023.

Traditionally FRUCT doesn't provide deadline extension, instead, we have an early-bird submissions mechanism. The Early-bird submission provides authors with a unique opportunity for early review of the papers, and if needed, the authors can fix the paper according to the review comments and resubmit it before the final deadline. It significantly increases the chance to get your paper accepted, as this way you always will have a second chance to improve the paper and get another round of review.

The Early bird submission deadline is February 27, 2023.

All papers get blind peer review by the Technical Committee. We use the IEEE paper template and Full Paper submissions shall have at least 6 full pages.

Full papers to be published in the FRUCT proceedings (ISSN 2305-7254), included in IEEE Xplore, and indexed by Scopus, DBLP, Web of Science, ACM, and RSCI (in VAK list). FRUCT series is included in Scimago Journal Rank (SJR, http://scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=21100305223&tip=sid), AMiner, CORE, and DOAJ (https://doaj.org/toc/2343-0737).

FRUCT has a high rating in national systems, e.g., Finnish (JUFO=1, JufoID: 72707), Norwegian (NSD=1), Danish (BFI=1, ID: 8782540).

The selected papers get an invitation to submit an extended version of the paper for publication in Scopus-indexed partner journals.

Venue:
The conference will be held at University of Zilina in Slovakia. The location has a good connection with the nearby large international airline hubs, e.g., Wien. Please use this opportunity to enjoy the great conference, and Slovakian hospitality, see central Europe and set up new contacts with colleagues from the University of Zilina and other top world universities.

Conference also allows online participation. If you cannot come you still can join us online.

We hope that this time half of the conference sections will be held in a classic face-to-face format. Come and enjoy it! Let's come back to normal life. We are looking forward to meeting you in Zilina!
