The need for a greener and more digital world leads academia, governments, industry and citizens to look for emerging, sustainable, intelligent solutions and trends. 

These new solutions and ideas must promote communication and ubiquitous computing between society agents, i.e., citizens, industry, organizations, net-worked machines and physical objects, and provide a promising vision of the future integrating the real world of knowledge agents and things with the virtual world of information. The emerging approaches in study or development can address several dimensions with a technological focus like Information, Innovation, and Sustainability and topics: Computing Solutions, Data Intelligence, Ethics, Security, Privacy and Sustainability.

These topics are closely related to the field of Information Systems (IS) because all of them involve the use and management of technology and data to achieve specific purposes or goals. Computing Solutions are a crucial aspect of information systems as they provide the technical infrastructure and tools for organizations to manage and process data. Data Intelligence is also a key area of information systems as it involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data to support decision-making and problem-solving. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important aspect of information systems as organizations are recognizing the impact of technology on the environment and are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Ethics, Security, and Privacy are also essential aspects of information systems as they involve the responsible and secure use of technology and data to protect individuals and organizations from potential harm.

The change observed in society modifies the landscape of human activity, particularly regarding knowledge acquisition and production, offering new possibilities and challenges that need to be explored, assessed and disseminated. 

To expose and disseminate it, ARTIIS arose in 2021. ARTIIS is an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, results, experiences, and concerns from several perspectives of Technologies, Information, Innovation, and Sustainability (see https://gsis.at/2023/02/04/artiis-2023/, https://gsis.at/2023/01/11/how-to-integrate-and-implement-the-approach-towards-a-techno-eco-social-transformation/, https://gsis.at/2022/03/25/artiis-2022/, https://gsis.at/2022/03/08/artiis-2021-advanced-research-in-technologies-information-innovation-and-sustainability/).

The proceedings of ARTIIS 2023 (see here: https://gsis.at/publications/publications-copy-3/) are split into three volumes and contains a selection of 113 papers accepted for presentation and discussion at the International Conference on Advanced Research in Technologies, Information, Innovation and Sustainability and their workshops. This third edition of ARTIIS, realized in 2023, received 297 contributions from 44 countries worldwide. The acceptance rate was 38.05%, 98 regular papers and 15 short papers.

The papers accepted to ARTIIS 2023 are published by the Communications in Computer and Information Science series (Springer CCIS). It is indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, SCImago, Scopus. CCIS volumes are also submitted for inclusion in ISI Proceedings.

The conference proceedings are published in 3 CCIS volumes. The first 2 volumes (CCIS volumes 1935, 1936) consist of the peer-reviewed papers from main conference track. In addition, 1 volume (CCIS 1937) from the peer-reviewed papers of the 10 Special Sessions.

The first volume of the book contains all the papers on two topics: Computing Solutions, Data Intelligence:

–       Computing Solutions addresses the development of applications and platforms involving computing and is produced to some area of knowledge or society. It includes topics like networks, pervasive computing, gamification or software engineering.

–       Data Intelligence focuses on data (e.g., text, images) acquisition and processing using smart techniques or tools. It includes some topics like computing intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science or Computer Vision.

The second volume englobes all papers about Sustainability, and Ethics, Security, and Privacy:

–       Ethics, Security, and Privacy shows a more strict and secure area of Information Systems where the end-user is the main concern. Vulnerabilities, Data Privacy or cybersecurity, are the main subjects of this topic.

–       Sustainability explores a new type of computing more, green, connected, efficient and sustainable. Topics like Immersive Tech, Smart Cities or Sustainable Infrastructures are part of this topic.

The third volume englobes the papers from the ten Special Sessions:

–       Applications of Computational Mathematics to Simulation and Data Analysis (ACMaSDA  2023)

–       Challenges and the Impact of Communication and Information Technologies on Education (CICITE 2023)

–       Workshop on Gamification Application and Technologies (GAT 2023)

–       Bridging Knowledge in a Fragmented World (glossaLAB 2023)

–       Intelligent Systems for Health and Medical Care (ISHMC 2023)

–       Intelligent Systems in Forensic Engineering (ISIFE 2023)

–       International Symposium on Technological Innovations for Industry and Society (ISTIIS 2023)

–       International Workshop on Electronic and Telecommunications (IWET 2023)

–       Innovation in Educational Technology (JIUTE 2023)

–       Smart Tourism and Information Systems (SMARTTIS 2023)

ARTIIS 2023 had the support of Universidad a Distancia de Madrid, Madrid, Spain;  Universidad Estatal Peninsula de Santa Elena, Ecuador; and the Algoritmi Research Center of Minho University, Portugal. It was realized in a hybrid format: face-to-face and virtual at Universidad a Distancia de Madrid – UDIMA, P.º del Gral. Martínez Campos, 5, 28010 Madrid, Spain between the 18th and 20th of October 2023. Besides the main conference, ARTIIS 2023 also hosted ten special sessions.

The Program Committee was composed of a multidisciplinary group of more than 457 experts from 60 countries, with the responsibility for evaluating, in a ‘double-blind review’ process, the chapters received for each of the main themes proposed for the conference and special sessions.

We acknowledge those who contributed to this book: authors, organizing chairs, steering committee, program committee, special sessions chairs, and editors. We sincerely appreciate their involvement and support that were crucial for the success of the International Conference on Advanced Research in Technologies, Information, Innovation and Sustainability (ARTIIS 2023). We also wish to thank our publisher, Springer, for their acceptance to publish the proceedings.

The success of this third edition gives us a lot of confidence to continue the work. So, we hope to see you in the fourth edition in 2024, that will be in Chile.
