SPU’s School of Natural and Applied Sciences will host the 2020 2nd IMITEC conference from 25 to 27 November 2020.

The conference will be held in conjunction with the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Computer Society, IEEE South Africa Computer Society Chapter, and the IEEE Technical Committee on Data Engineering.

The theme of the conference is “From Kilobyte to Exabyte” and a majority of articles will focus on finding data-driven solutions to data-congested environments towards preventing undesirable consequences of misinformation on human life.

The conference has attracted over ninety paper submissions from around the world.

To cater to a broad audience, the 2020 2nd IMITEC conference will encompass preliminary workshops on cutting-edge topics in data engineering, research paper sessions, and three keynote addresses by internationally recognized senior researchers in the theme areas of the conference. Online streamed presentations and forum discussions will dominate the sessions.

The conference promises to be a high-quality international platform that brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss cutting-edge research on computer science, data science, computational mathematics, computational physics, computational biology, and ICT.
