Information and Communication is playing an increasing role in society and within our lives. Recognizing this, FICC 2018 aims to provide a forum for researchers from both academia and industry to share their latest research contributions, future vision in the field and potential impact across industries.

This conference will feature paper presentations, poster presentations, tutorials, project demonstrations, as well as keynote speech by renowned technology experts and authorities.

FICC is part of the SAI Conferences, a group of annual conferences produced by The Science and Information (SAI) Organization, based in the United Kingdom. Previous conferences include Future Technologies Conference (FTC) in San Francisco, Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys) in London and Computing Conference in London.

FICC 2018 aims to provide a forum for researchers from both academia and industry to share their latest research contributions, future vision in the field and potential impact across industries. Join us to explore discovery, progress, and achievements related to Communication, Data Science, Computing and Internet of Things.

The conference program will include paper presentations, poster sessions and project demonstrations, along with prominent keynote speakers and industrial workshops. Proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and indexed in Scopus, IET Inspec and many more.

+Review Process
The review process will be double-blind. Therefore, please anonymize your submission. This means that all submissions must contain no information identifying the author(s) or their organization(s): Do not put the author(s) names or affiliation(s) at the start of the paper, anonymize citations to and mentions of your own prior work that are directly related to your present work, and do not include funding or other acknowledgments.

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three regular PC members or two senior PC members. The acceptance decisions will take into account paper novelty, technical depth, elegance, practical or theoretic impact, and presentation.

Original: the paper explores a new idea, project or issue; discusses existing research with promise of new insight, discusses new research; or presents new ways of considering existing information
Engaging: presentation format will involve the audience in some way, or has high potential to attract conference attendees by addressing needs of the community
Significant: the paper raises and discusses issues important to improving the effectiveness and/or sustainability of open education efforts, and its contents can be broadly disseminated and understood
Quality: claims are supported by sufficient data; claims draw upon relevant literature; and limitations are described honestly
Relevant: the paper addresses one or more of the themes of the conference
