Watrobski et al. / Procedia Computer Science 192 (2021) 1–9 2 Preface This edition of Procedia Computer Science represents the proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Knowledge - Based and Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems (KES 2021), organised by KES International and held in Szczecin, Poland and also in virtual form on the KESonline virtual conference platform, 8-10 September 2021. KES 2021 was something of a celebration among the KES community as the 25th event in a series of broadspectrum intelligent systems conferences first held in Adelaide, Australia in 1997. The main aim of this KES conference series is to provide an internationally respected forum for the dissemination of research results and the discussion of issues relating to the theory, technologies and applications of intelligent engineering and information systems. This truly international conference attracted submissions from a substantial number of researchers and practitioners from all over the world, who submitted their papers to five general track sessions, 47 special sessions and two workshops on specific topics. A large number of submissions was received and each paper was peer reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee. From them, 532 high - quality papers were accepted for oral presentation and publication in Procedia Computer Science, submitted for indexing in Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI), Scopus and INSPEC. The conference chairs would like to express their gratitude to the Keynote Speakers: - Prof Maria Virvou, University of Piraeus, Greece, title of talk: "Human-AI Interaction: New Horizons and Challenges" - Prof Janusz Kacprzyk, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland, title of talk: "Linguistic data summarization: a step towards human comprehensibility of static and dynamic data"; - Prof James F. Peters, University of Manitoba, Canada and Adiyaman University, Turkey, title of talk: "Computational Geometry and Topology of Data Views of Brain Activation Regions in rs-fMRI Videos. Betti Numbers, Ghrist Pictographs in Tracking the Persistence of Brain Activations"; - Prof Andrzej Piegat, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Poland, title of talk: "Why multidimensional fuzzy arithmetic in problem solving"; - Prof Edward Szczerbicki, Gdansk University of Technology, Poland and The University of Newcastle, Australia, title of talk: "AI vs AI: intelligence amplification with Decisional DNA and its extension to idream.technology"; and Prof Valentina Balas, ‘Aurel Vlaicu’ University of Arad, Romania, title of talk: “New Computational Intelligence-Based Research”. We would like to acknowledge the Programme Co-Chairs, the General Track chairs, and the International Programme Committee members and reviewers for their valuable efforts in the review process, helping us to guarantee the highest quality possible for the conference. We would also like to thank the organisers and chairs of the special sessions which make an essential contribution to the success of the conference. Lastly, we would like to thank all the authors, presenters and delegates for their valuable contribution and the Local Organising Committee for making arrangements in Szczecin and making this an extraordinarily successful event. KES International hopes and intends that KES2021 will make a significant contribution to international research collaboration and understanding, an essential task for the promotion of scientific joint work and excellence.
