The conference programme includes workshops, special sessions and tutorials, along with prominent keynote speakers and regular paper presentations in parallel tracks. In the past century, our society has been through several periods of dramatic changes, driven by innovations such as transportation systems, telephone etc. Last few decades have experienced technologies that are evolving so rapidly, altering the constraints of space and time, and reshaping the way we communicate, learn and think. Rapid advances in information technologies and other digital systems are reshaping our ecosystem. Innovations in ICT allow us to transmit information quickly and widely, propelling the growth of new urban communities, linking distant places and diverse areas of endeavor in productive new ways, which a decade ago was unimaginable. Thus, the theme of this World Congress is "Innovating ICT For Social Revolutions". All accepted and registered papers will be included in the conference proceedings expected to be published by Springer.</div><div><br></div><div>Topics (not limited to)</div><div>----------------------------------------</div><div>Bioinformatics and Computational Biology</div><div>Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality</div><div>Data Mining</div><div>e-Learning</div><div>e-Business</div><div>e-Government</div><div>Artificial Intelligence</div><div>Web Services and Semantic Web</div><div>Grid and Cloud Computing</div><div>Ambient Intelligence</div><div>Body Sensor Networks</div><div>Computational Finance and Economics</div><div>Cybercrime (Legal and Technical Issues)</div><div>Computer Network Security</div><div>Data Mining for Information Security</div><div>Academic Integrity, Plagiarism Detection and Software Misuse</div><div>Intrusion Detection and Forensics</div><div>Scheduling For Large Scale Distributed System</div><div>Nature Inspired Optimization Algorithms and Their Applications</div><div>The Role of Technology in Education and Health</div><div>Data Management</div><div>Collaborative Design in Knowledge-based Environment</div><div>Software Engineering</div><div><br></div><div>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div>Submission Guidelines:</div><div>----------------------</div><div>Submission of paper should be made through the submission page from the conference web page.
