Call for Papers
===============

IUCC-2022 is the 21th edition of the highly successful International Conference on Computer and Information Technology. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange novel ideas, results, experiences and work-in-process on all aspects of computer and information technology. IUCC has become a major platform for researchers and industry practitioners from different fields of computer and information technology. Each year, IUCC attendees appreciate and benefit from multidisciplinary exchanges in computer and information technology. In previous years, IUCC has attracted many high-quality research papers spanning over the various aspects of information technology, computing science and computer engineering. These papers highlight foundational work that strives to push beyond limits of existing computer technologies, including experimental efforts, innovative systems, and investigations that identify weaknesses in existing IT services.

IUCC-2022 is planned to be hosted in Chongqing, China. All accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and will be submitted for indexing by Engineering Index (EI). The authors of selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference.
