HIS 2023 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person and
fully virtually to take advantage of the best that the two modalities
can offer. Besides regular paper presentations, the technical programme
will include 8-10 plenary lectures and poster sessions. HIS 2023
Organising Committee also recognises the benefits of virtual conferences
allowing participation at a cheaper rate. This allows a higher number of
research scholars and students to attend. Selected authors will have the
option to attend and present the papers virtually or present in one of
the FOUR venues in Europe and Asia.

Like previous years, proceedings of SoCPaR'23 are expected to be
published with Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Networks and
Systems (LNNS) series. (https://www.springer.com/series/15179)

**About SoCPaR 2023**
---------------------

After the success of the 14th International Conference on Soft Computing
and Pattern Recognition (SoCPaR 2022), SoCPaR 2023 is organized to bring
together worldwide leading researchers and practitioners interested in
advancing the state-of-the-art in Soft Computing and Pattern
Recognition, for exchanging knowledge that encompasses a broad range of
disciplines among various distinct communities. It is hoped that
researchers and practitioners will bring new prospects for collaboration
across disciplines and gain inspiration to facilitate novel
breakthroughs. The themes for this conference are thus focused on
"Innovating and Inspiring Soft Computing and Intelligent Pattern
Recognition".
