Dozens of information technology and software specialists worldwide and Lithuania met for the 30th time at the International Conference on Information and Software Technologies (ICIST) organized by Kaunas University of Technology Faculty of Informatics (KTU IF). This international event took place on 17-18 October in Kaunas.
On the occasion of the anniversary of the conference, the organizers of the previous conferences congratulated the participants. KTU IF professor Aleksandras Targamadze recalled the reason for the creation of the conference, which was the promotion of commonality between the faculty departments. The first conferences were attended by representatives of IF departments who shared their scientific and practical experiences with their colleagues.
Over the years, the event has developed into an international conference when Rimantas Butleris, a long-time organizer of the ICIST conference at KTU IF, initiated the transfer of the printing of the conference papers to Springer, an international publishing house.
“Since we had already looked abroad and seen how international and high-level conferences are organized. We decided that the conference should be taken to the next level to give it a more serious value,” recalled Rita Butkienė, professor at KTU IF and chair of the conference organizing team.
