Submissions are to be made through the EasyChair Conference Management System: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=9ict2017.
Authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 10 pages) in Springer LNCS style (for more information, refer to http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). The review process will be a double-blind peer review. Papers must be based on unpublished, mature and original work and must be submitted to ICT Innovations 2017 only. At least one author of each accepted contribution is required to register (registration with conference proceedings) for the Conference. The maximum number of accepted papers per author/co-author is two.

 

In the last eight years, the ICT Innovations conference has established itself as the fundamental summit where participants can share best practices and experiences in academic research and practical applications in a pleasant and motivating environment.

The previous ICT Innovations conferences gathered submissions from authors from 30 different countries. Approximately, 70 high-quality papers and 10 posters are presented during the conference each year. On average, 30 papers with highest grades are then published in Springer conference proceedings.

 

The special conference topic this year is “Data-driven Innovation”.

Data-driven innovation forms a key pillar in the 21st century sources of growth. The confluence of several trends, including the increasing migration of socio-economic activities to the Internet and the decline in the cost of data collection, storage and processing, are leading to the generation and use of huge volumes of data. These large data sets are becoming a core asset in research and the economy, fostering new discoveries, new industries, new processes and new products.

Data innovation is happening everywhere. It is transforming how and what people purchase, and how they communicate and collaborate. In response, data and analytics are being used to motivate radical new business models and disrupt traditional industry structures. Outperforming organizations will be those that make data and analytics central to their innovation processes, as well as to the innovation itself. Data promises to provide the input for creative endeavors and new ideas. But the importance of data and analytics will transcend ideation and inspiration.
