Call for Papers

Scope

Information Technology continues to increase opportunities for strategic advantages and corporate efficiency. Emerging Enterprise Technologies are profoundly changing the way we think - from economics and efficiency to process and usage models. The International Symposium on Innovation in Information and Communication Technology is a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of today's Information and Communication Technologies, as well as their evolution and their paradigm shifts.

The symposium is intended to serve as a hub to identify emerging research topics, and define the future of Information and Communication Technologies.

The technical programme of ISIICT 2018 will include a Research Track, an Application Track, and a Short Paper Track. Theoretical and technical contributions addressing all areas related to systems, applications and innovations are solicited. Papers on the new generation of Utility Computing, including cloud and edge computing, are particularly welcome. Tutorials and panel discussions on the challenges brought by these technologies will be organised. All submissions will be refereed by at least three members of the Programme Committee.
