Roundtable Workshop on Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence Tools

The Advanced Systems Analysis Program is hosting a roundtable workshop on digitalization and artificial intelligence tools. The workshop is adjacent to the international scientific conference "Computer Science and Information Technologies” (CSIT 2019), which is a forum for presentation on new results in research, development and applications in computer science and information technologies.

The international scientific conference "Computer Science and Information Technologies" (CSIT 2019) is organized in cooperation between Ufa State Aviation Technical University, Ufa, Russia, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary, Technical University, Vienna, Austria, North Caucasus Federal University, Stavropol, Russia, Ugra Research Institute of Information Technology, Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia.

The topics of the workshop at IIASA will cover three areas relevant for digitalization and artificial intelligence tools:

- Information Systems such as Conceptual Modeling and Decision Support Systems, Industrial Information Systems, Web Information Systems and Information Security Systems and Safety;

- Artificial Intelligence Tools such as Knowledge Engineering, Neural Network Technologies, Fuzzy Models and Methods, Evolutionary and Immune Algorithms and Cognitive Intelligence;

- Digital Transformations including Industry 4.0 / Internet of Things, Digital Business Models and Platforms, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality and Service Prototyping.

The aim of the workshop is to discuss artificial intelligence and decision-support tools as well as challenges of digitalization. This will also include the tools to address challenges of digitalization as misinformation, which are developed in frames of the Co-Inform project.

Program of the workshop includes:

Co-Inform project


The aim of the Co-Inform project is to study the phenomenon of the rapid dissemination of misinformation in a multidisciplinary manner. The methodology of the project is based on the concept of co-creation, which implies that affected parties co-create together towards a mutually shared goal or value. Co-creation is based on interactions, sharing ideas and collaboration among different groups of stakeholders.


The Co-Inform project will further develop co-creation methodologies to deal with misinformation on such a critical issue for the society as migration. It will involve different groups of stakeholders including citizen, journalists, fact-checkers and policy-makers in three case study countries - Austria, Greece and Sweden.
