2021 Vilnius University Proceedings  
DAMSS-2021 is the 12th international conference on data analysis methods for software systems, organized in Druskininkai, Lithuania. The same place and the same time every year. The exception was 2020, when the world was gripped by the Covid-19 pandemic and the movement of people was severely restricted. After a year's break, the Conference is back on track. When we organize it, the main priority is the health of the participants. There is a possibility to read the oral presentations online.

But this conference is not a hybrid conference, as the main objective is live interaction between researchers. History of the conference starts from 2009 with 16 presentations. It started as the workshop and has now grown into a well-known conference. The idea of such workshop came up at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics that now is the Institute of Data Science and Digital Technologies of Vilnius University. The Lithuanian Academy of Sciences and the Lithuanian Computer Society supported this idea. This idea got approval both in the Lithuanian research community and abroad. The number of this year presentations is 63. The number of registered participants is 92 from 7 countries. That's not much less than in 2019. Of course, the number of participants coming from abroad is much lower, as there are still doubts about the safety of long-distance travel. The conference brings together researchers from six Lithuanian universities. This makes the conference the main annual meeting point for Lithuanian computer scientists. The main goal of the conference is to introduce the research undertaken at Lithuanian and foreign universities in the fields of data science and software engineering. Annual organization of the conference allows the fast interchanging of new ideas among the research community. Four IT companies supported the conference this year. This means that the topics of the conference are actual for business, too.
