In the year 2019, it is the 12th international edition and 26th Polish edition of the conference. The main intention of the conference is integration of national and international scientific and industrial communities, by enabling scientists to exchange information related to their research work. The Computer Networks (CN) conference is dedicated to all activities related to computer networks. Our mission is to deliver a common platform for scientists, academics, researchers, students, industrialists, and other people interested in computer networks and involved in their usage and development. The conference allows attenders to exchange and improve their knowledge, experience, and skills. Special efforts are made to allow students participation, too. Accepted presentations are divided into tracks which group listeners of similar interests. In this year the conference tracks are as follows: computer networks This track refers to all issues related directly to computer networks. This is the main track of the conference and most of the presented reports refer to this track. teleinformatics and telecommunications All topics connected with computer communication technologies considered in the context of computer networking and informatics are considered in this track. queues theory and queuing networks In the ‘queueing’ track topics from the wide area of network modeling and analyzing are presented and discussed. The detailed and current list of the conference topics is available on the conference website. The presented tracks and detailed topics do not limit the conference scope. The CN area constantly evolves and is updated each year. This year, it is the sixth time when communications area is presented and highlighted as a separate track. The co-organizer of the conference is the Committee of Informatics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Section of Computer Networks and Distributed Systems. The conference has also the technical co-sponsoring of the IEEE and the technical patronage of the iNEER. Both organizations support us in keeping conference up to date, in controlling level of its content as well as give us many suggestions, opinions and useful guidance. More about IEEE and iNEER is presented in the next chapters. The high level of the CN proceedings is also ensured by our members of Technical Program Committee, by Editors, and by the Editorial Board. The 26th edition has patronages of His Magnificence Rector of Silesian University of Technology and The National Centre for Research and Development. It confirms that the conference is also important for our region and visible is to our authorities. The organizers of CN conference are always open for special session proposals. It is possible to arrange a session connected with any specific subject matter of computer networks and networking aspects. This year we have special session named Work in Progress (WIP). The goal of this session is to present research results being in progress. All accepted papers are published in the ‘Studia Informatica’ series published by SUT Press. The detailed agenda of the CN2019 is available in this booklet, on the CN website, and at the posters displayed during the conference in the main halls and lobby of the building. More information about the speeches and professional profiles of the key-speakers are presented in one of the following chapters. 2 There are totally 37 lectures including 3 keynotes, 1 instruction speech, 29 regular presentations, and 4 WIP reports. Closing of the conference is scheduled on Thursday about noon. After the conference closure, a discussion panel is available. All full conference participants receive conference books and other stuff. Some additional materials associated with the lectures as well as photos can be downloaded from the conference website. The papers connected with the presented topics are available on the publishers’ websites. Online access to the Springer’s books is granted for a limited time. Access to the ‘Studia Informatica’ journal is open but the availability of the papers may by limited at authors’ choice. During the CN2019 conference more than 50 registered participants from 9 countries are expected: Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Iraq, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine. CN2008 Please be advised, that we would like to take a common picture on Tuesday evening, before gala dinner. We cordially encourage you to come. 3 CN2010 A guided tour to the historic Moszna Castle and Mount St. Anne is planned on Wednesday afternoon.

The duration of the trip is approximately 4-5 hours. Sportswear suggested. CN2011 4 History of the Conference The Computer Networks conference was established in 1993 in the Institute of Informatics which belongs to the Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science of the Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland. The main originator, organizer and chief of the conference Program Committee was Professor Andrzej Grzywak, the prominent specialist of network systems. The first five editions of the conference took place in the halls of the Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science of the Silesian University of Technology. In 1999 the conference was organized as an open event for the first time. The venue was the capital of the Polish Tatra Mountains, Zakopane. Each of the next editions was organized outside Gliwice, always in the mountains regions so far. From the very beginning, for many years, Ms. Halina Węgrzyn worked actively during the conference organization, becoming the main stem of the Organization Committee. In 2007, prof. Andrzej Kwiecień became the chief of the Technical Program Committee (TPC), whereas dr. Piotr Gaj went in for being in the chair of the Organization Committee. In 2008 the conference form was changed into international with two official languages: English and Polish, which gave guests from abroad an opportunity to participate. Since then, the number of foreign guests is constantly increasing. Since 2015 the official language is only English.
