ICT Innovations is one of the leading international conferences in the region that serves as a platform for presenting novel ideas and fundamental advances in the fields of computer science and engineering.
ICT INNOVATIONS 2017 Conference Aims and ScopeThe main objective of the conference is to connect academia, data professionals, enterprises, and start-ups active in the data innovation ecosystem. It will create and manage a vibrant environment where they can share the latest discoveries, best practices, and learn about data-driven innovation. The conference will promote the development of models, methods and instruments of data science and will provide a unique environment for the presentation and discussion of new approaches and prototypes in the field.
The conference will consist of regular sessions with technical contributions (regular papers) reviewed and selected by an international program committee, as well as of invited talks presented by leading scientists. Different workshops will be held in line with the main conference. The official language of the conference will be English.
This year the ICT Innovations Conference will be co-located with the ECML-PKDD 2017 (European Conference on Machine Learning). Both conferences will take place at the same time and venue. Each participant of ICT Innovations will have full access to all sessions and events of the ECML-PKDD conference, and vice-versa.
ICT INNOVATIONS 2017 PublicationsAll accepted full papers will be included in the ICT Innovations 2017 Proceedings published by Springer Publishing house. The Conference Proceedings will be submitted for indexing in ISI Proceedings, DBLP, SCOPUS, Google Scholar and Springer. Accepted short papers will be published in the established and cited web proceedings with DOI numbers (http://proceedings.ictinnovations.org/). Additional information is available at http://ictinnovations.org/.
This year’s special conference topic is “Data-driven Innovation”.
ICT INNOVATIONS 2017 Programme CommitteeThe ICT Innovations program committee consists of more than 210 distinguished scientists from 55 different countries.
ICT INNOVATIONS 2017 Workshops and Special SessionsThe conference traditionally supports organization of workshops and special sessions. If you are interested in proposing a special session or a workshop, please send your proposal to dimitar.trajanov@finki.ukim.mk or verica.bakeva@finki.ukim.mk.

The maximum number of accepted papers per author/co-author is two.
ICT INNOVATIONS Previous ConferencesIn the last eight years, the ICT Innovations Conference has established itself as the major 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 ten posters are presented during the conference each year. On average, 30 papers with highest grades are published in Springer conference proceedings.
ICT INNOVATIONS 2017 TopicsThis year the conference theme is “Data-driven Innovation”. Data-driven innovation forms an essential 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.
Authors are invited to submit original works in relevant fields, especially if related to Data-driven Innovations, including, but not restricted to: Data Science, Data Extraction, Data Analytics, Complex Systems, Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, Smart Grid Analytics, Distributed and Parallel Algorithms for Data Science, Machine Learning in the Data Science Context, Data Analytics in Small Business Enterprises, Big Data as a Service, 3D Printing and Bioprinting, Ambient Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, Assistive technologies, Attention and New Technologies, Augmented Reality, Big Data Analytics, Bioinformatics & Biomedical Engineering, Bio-interfaces, Cloud Computing, Cognitive Computing, Collaborative Environments, Computer Games, Content Repositories & Open Source Content, Context-aware Systems, Cyber Security, Data Mining & Information Retrieval, Digital Preservation, Digital Signal & Image Processing, Distributed & Parallel Processing, Eco-informatics, E-commerce & E-governance, E-health, Embedded Systems, Emerging Mobile Technologies, Emerging Technologies for Learning, Emotion Aware Systems, Energy Efficiency for ICT, Grid Computing, Haptic Interfaces, Innovative Media and Tools, Internet & Web Applications, Internet of Things, Machine Learning, Machine Translation, Machine Vision, Moral and Ethical Aspects of AI and ICT, Natural Language Processing, Numerical & Symbolic Computation, Pattern Recognition, Personalized Adaptive Technologies, Personalized Medicine, Pervasive Technologies, Robotics & Automation, Security & Cryptography, Self-aware and Self-expressive systems, Semantic Interoperability, Semantic Web, Semantic-aware Systems, Smart TV, Social Collaboration and Social Media, Speech Recognition & Synthesis, Technology Assisted Creativity, Ubiquitous Computing, Universal Translation Technologies, Visualization, Virtual Reality, Wearable Technologies, Wireless Communication & Sensor Networks.
