Lviv Polytechnic National University once again became a venue for international technological dialogue, hosting the 20th anniversary International Scientific and Technical Conference on Computer Science and Information Technologies (CSIT 2026).
Current Trends and Key Research Areas
This year’s conference was a flagship event of the traditional IEEE Week at Lviv Polytechnic. The scientific forum focused on three major areas of development: computational intelligence, computer science, and contemporary approaches to IT education.
The conference program was distinguished by its topical relevance and broad range of research areas. The first track, computational intelligence, focused on artificial intelligence methods, deep learning architectures, and large language models (LLMs). Particular attention was given to neural networks, knowledge engineering, fuzzy systems, and text analysis. A highlight of this event was the traditional International Workshop on Inductive Modeling.
The second direction, computer science, addressed the design of cyber-physical systems and embedded software, cloud security, blockchain, steganography, and online privacy. Researchers also exchanged expertise in data mining and Big Data technologies. The 2nd International Seminar on Cognitive Metaverse: Beyond Traditional Reality, provided a platform for in-depth discussion of this field.
IT education was another key area of focus. Experts examined the future of learning, addressing knowledge management systems, hybrid learning models, digital platforms, and immersive educational environments.
The conference’s longstanding success is rooted in Lviv Polytechnic’s academic traditions. It was established in 2004 on the initiative of Professor Dmytro Fedasiuk , Lviv Polytechnic. For many years, Professor Mykola Medykovskyi consistently chaired the program and organizing committees. Notably, the University’s current Rector, Nataliia Shakhovska , was also an active member of the organizing committee and served as the conference secretary.
Reflecting its academic standing, the conference proceedings are indexed in international scientometric databases, including Scopus and DBLP, and have long been included in Web of Science.
CSIT 2026 has once again demonstrated Lviv Polytechnic’s engagement with global technological advances. Conference Secretary Tetiana Shestakevych summarized this year’s results:
– This year, we received 200 papers from 437 authors across 16 countries: Ukraine, India, the USA, Spain, Poland, Kazakhstan, Japan, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Slovakia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, the Czech Republic, Italy, Croatia, and Turkey. The manuscripts were evaluated by 123 reviewers. Based on the review results, 106 papers were accepted (an acceptance rate of 53%), and the authors of 103 of these delivered presentations. Most importantly, this year–for the first time since the onset of COVID–we were finally able to organize in-person sessions.
