Advances in Computing (Special Track)

Paper Submission: Manuscripts offering high quality original and unpublished research, case studies and implementations are solicited. The manuscripts need to be formatted as IEEE double column conference format. The maximum length of the manuscript should not exceed 6-pages. All submitted papers will undergo blind-review. Authors need to prevent identity disclosure by: (1) not listing names and affiliations of the authors on the manuscript, (2) not saying “my work” or “our work” in the text while citing self-references, and (3) not writing acknowledgments in such a way that identity of authors are implied. Author information should only be included in the submission form. Manuscripts not following the above requirements will be rejected without review. Authors need to submit a single pdf file of their manuscripts at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icit2018. ICIT 2018 will follow strict no-show policy, i.e., accepted papers are to be registered and presented; otherwise the paper will be removed from the proceedings. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore.

Best Paper Awards: Three awards will be conferred with due recommendations from the program committee from the papers presented in the conference. Each award will carry cash prize and citations. One student best paper award will be awarded from the papers with students as the leading authors.
