* work in progress, position, poster and student research reports in the form of extended abstract (3-4 pages in English, LNCS style recommended) to be reviewed by a PC member. a PC member.
 
Right now Easy Chair submission page https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pssv2021 is open for regular paprs.
Selected revised and extended papers will be published (after the workshop) in the Modeling and Analysis of Information Systems (https://www.mais-journal.ru), a Russian peer-review journal where PSSV selected and revised papers are published since the very first edition of the workshop in 2010. (See for example Vol 27, No 4 (2020) at https://www.mais-journal.ru/jour/issue/view/124/showToc with selected and revised papers of PSSV-2020.)
We expect (as it was in the previous years of the PSSV) that English translations of some of these selected papers will appear next year in Automatic Control and Computer Sciences(http://www.springer.com/computer/hardware/journal/11950) (indexed by WoS and Scopus).
