the success of the 10th World Congress on Information and Communication
Technologies (WICT 2020), we are organizing WICT 2021 to provide an
opportunity for the researchers from academia and industry to meet and
discuss the latest solutions, scientific results, and methods in the
usage and applications of ICT in the real world. The conference
programme will include workshops, special sessions, tutorials, prominent
keynote speakers, and regular paper presentations in parallel tracks.<br><br>In
the past century, our society has been through several periods of
dramatic changes, driven by innovations such as transportation systems,
telephone, etc. The last few decades have experienced rapidly evolving
technologies, altering space and time constraints and reshaping the way
we communicate, learn, and think. Rapid advances in information
technologies and other digital systems are reshaping our ecosystem. ICT
innovations allow us to transmit information quickly and widely,
propelling the growth of new urban communities, linking distant places
and diverse areas of endeavor in productive new ways, which a decade ago
was unimaginable. Thus, the theme of this World Congress is "Innovating
ICT For Social Revolutions".<br><br>**Topics (not limited to)**<br>---------------------------<br>Bioinformatics and Computational Biology<br>Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality<br>Data Mining<br>e-Learning<br>e-Business<br>e-Government<br>Artificial Intelligence<br>Web Services and Semantic Web<br>Grid and Cloud Computing<br>Ambient Intelligence<br>Body Sensor Networks<br>Computational Finance and Economics<br>Cybercrime (Legal and Technical Issues)<br>Computer Network Security<br>Data Mining for Information Security<br>Academic Integrity, Plagiarism Detection and Software Misuse<br>Intrusion Detection and Forensics<br>Scheduling For Large Scale Distributed System<br>Nature Inspired Optimization Algorithms And Their Applications<br>The Role of Technology in Education and Health<br>Data Management<br>Collaborative Design in Knowledge-based Environment<br>Software Engineering<br><br>**Submission Guidelines**<br>-------------------------<br>Submission of paper should be made through the submission page from the conference web page. <br>Please refer to the conference website for guidelines to prepare your manuscript.<br><br>Paper format templates:<br><a href="https://www.springer.com/de/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/manuscript-preparation/5636#c3324" target="_blank">https://www.springer.com/de/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/manuscript-preparation/5636#c3324</a><br><br>WICT’21 Submission Link:<br><a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wict2021" target="_blank">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wict2021</a><br><br>**Plenary Talks**<br>-----------------------------<br>You
