The conference proceedings are Scopus and EI indexed. Accepted papers will be submitted for possible inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore's scope and quality requirements. Selected papers presented at the conference will be published after further improvement and revision at Special Issues in IEEE Access, WCMC, Oxford The Computer Journal, IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing, IET Intelligent Transport Systems, along with 5 other SCI/SCIE journals.


GENERAL INFORMATION:

This conference will constitute a forum for the presentation and discussion of latest results in the fields of information management, communication technologies and their implications on social interaction. The aim of such a forum, as an international conference, is conducive for encouraging the exchange of ideas and information, providing research directions in cutting-edge domains, and fostering collaborations between academia and industry. In this context, the program committee will accept a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality and presentation quality. Two main tracks for information processing management and communication technologies will be held, covering both research and applicability aspects. Each of these topic areas is expanded below but their sub-topics are not listed exhaustively.
