3rd International Conference on Emerging Technologies in Computing 2020 (iCETiC '20)

Important Announcement: Considering the current crisis due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak, to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the event, the iCETiC 2020 will be held in an interactive, live online setting. All matters related to quality, publication and indexing remain unchanged. We are closely monitoring the situation – If any further adjustment is deemed to be necessary, detailed announcement will be made in due course.

After successfully organising the second conference of this series, International Association of Educators and Researchers (IAER), registered CIC (Community Interest Company) in England and Wales, is happy to arrange the Third International Conference on Emerging Technologies in Computing (iCETiC ’20) 2020, which will be held from 19th - 20th August 2020, at London Metropolitan University, London, UK in an interactive, live online setting.

iCETiC ’20 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE UKRI Section, IEEE UKRI ComSoc Chapter and the Chester and North wales Branch of the British Computer Society. However, iCETiC ’20 Proceedings will be published in the Springer Nature Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (LNICST) Series, in cooperation with EAI.

LNICST series is indexed in WoS/ISI as well as in Scopus having 2018 CiteScore: 0.45 and SNIP 0.293; SJR 2018: 0.152 (Q4).

iCETiC ’18 and ‘19 Proceedings, also published in Springer Nature LNICST Series on the same day of the conference, is available at SpringerLink: https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319954493 and https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-23943-5.

The conference will draw together researchers and developers from academia and industry. For inclusion in the Springer-Verlag LNICST series, the papers must adhere to Springer’s Guidelines for Authors of Proceedings, instructions for which can be found at: ftp://ftp.springernature.com/cs-proceeding/svproc/guidelines/Springer_Guidelines_for_Authors_of_Proceedings.pdf. The easiest way to do this is to download and use the MS Word 2003 Proceedings template. Selected papers for consideration for further publication from the conference may be recommended for the following journals, as shown in the table below. This will be after they have been asked to be substantially extended and enhanced. However, the journals’ respective Editor-in-Chief and the members of the Executive Board will make the final decision about the inclusion of the papers. Furthermore, invited extended papers will be published in an edited book by Springer-Verlag.
