2020 2nd IMITEC CONFERENCE - CALL FOR PAPERS
The School of Natural and Applied Sciences at the Sol Plaatje University is the host for the 2020 2nd IMITEC conference.
The theme of the conference is “From Kilobyte to Exabyte”.
We are faced with the challenge of finding data-driven solutions to data-congested environments, towards preventing undesirable consequences.
To cater for a broad audience, the 2020 2nd IMITEC conference will include:
- preliminary workshops on cutting-edge topics
- research paper sessions
- keynote addresses.
Authors are invited from all over the world to submit previously unpublished work for possible presentation at the 2020 2nd IMITEC conference.
All papers will be evaluated based on their originality, depth and relevance to the conference themes, technical and scientific merit, clarity and vital insights, and potential for long-term impact.
New-idea papers are particularly encouraged.
Papers will undergo double-blind peer reviews by an international panel of experts to ensure that only high-quality papers are admitted in order to attract interesting and thought-provoking sessions at the conference.
All submissions must be in English as it is the official conference language.
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and selected papers will be published in the IEEE digital library.
