We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper 
to DS-RAIT 2014 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer 
Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2014).

FedCSIS is a yearly international multi-conference organized by the 
Polish Information Processing Society (PTI) in technical cooperation 
with the IEEE Region 8, IEEE Poland Section Computer Society Chapter, 
IEEE Poland (Gdansk) Section Computer Society Chapter, ACM Special 
Interest Group on Applied Computing, International Federation for 
Information Processing, European Alliance for Innovation, IEEE-CIS

Informática, Committee of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of 
Sciences, Polish Society for Business Informatics, Polish Chamber of 
Information Technology and Telecommunications, Polish Chamber of 
Commerce for High Technology and Eastern Cluster ICT Poland.

The aim of the Doctoral Symposium on Recent Advances in Information 
Technology (DS-RAIT) is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas 
between early-stage researchers, in Computer Science, PhD students in 
particular. Furthermore, the symposium will provide all participants an 
opportunity to get feedback on their studies from experienced members of 
the IT research community invited to chair all DS-RAIT thematic 
sessions. Therefore, submission of research proposals with limited 
preliminary results is strongly encouraged.
Besides receiving specific advice for their contributions all 
participants will be invited to attend plenary lectures on conducting 
high-quality research studies, excellence in scientific writing and 
issues related to intellectual property in IT research. Authors of the 
two most outstanding submissions will have a possibility to present 
their papers in a form of short plenary lecture.
