CATA2023: Editor's Preface

This conference proceedings contain the research papers presented at the 38th International Conference on Computers and Their Applications (CATA - 2023) held on March 20-22, 2023. This conference is in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BiCOB - 2023). Due to the pandemic, both of these conferences, CATA-2023 and BICOB-2023, will be held virtually.

This year we received a reasonably large number of submissions. To assure the quality of papers selected for presentations and publications, each submission was reviewed by multiple program committee members based on technical content and accuracy, the significance of the results, the conference scope, clarity of ideas, and overall research contribution. The committee decided to accept a selected number of papers based on the overall quality, originality, and significance. The conference program includes an invited keynote presentation and several technical sessions on a range of important and emerging topics.

We gratefully acknowledge the active contributions of our program committee members and all technical session chairs. We also want to thank all presenters and attendees for actively contributing towards the success of CATA - 2023, especially during this pandemic.

We are looking forward to excellent presentations and fruitful discussions to help broaden our professional horizons.
