Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, Informatik Forum Stuttgart
Other sponsors: Axivion, Novatec, Mimacom, Motius, Iteratec, Zoom

** Virtual Attendance **

In the light of the international situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, 
ICSA 2021 will be held as a virtual conference (Whova + Zoom meetings) 
with a Multi-Time-Zone mode:  All discussion sessions of ICSA 2021 will 
be scheduled to take place at least twice with the objective that in 
each of the three major time zones (Europe, Asia, America) people can 
attend their preferred sessions during mostly business hours. Q&As will 
be done in this case in an asynchronous fashion via Whova.
