Call for Papers

The International Association of Educators and Researchers (IAER), registered CIC (Community Interest Company) in England and Wales, is happy to arrange the First International Conference on Emerging Technologies in Computing (iCETiC ’18) 2018, which will be held from 23^rd -24^th August, 2018, at London Metropolitan University, London, UK.

The conference will draw together researchers and developers from academia and industry. All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings, printed in England. We aim to get the iCETiC ’18 Proceedings published in the Springer-Verlag CCIS Series. For inclusion in the Springer-Verlag CCIS, the papers must adhere to Springer’s Guidelines for Authors of Proceedings, instructions for which can be found at: ftp://ftp.springernature.com/cs-proceeding/svproc/guidelines/Springer_Guidelines_for_Authors_of_Proceedings.pdf The easiest way to do this is to download and use the MS Word 2003 Proceedings template. Selected papers will be considered for the following IAER journals, as shown in the table below. Furthermore, invited extended papers will be published in an edited book by Springer-Verlag.

IAER Journal Name	Website
*Annals of Emerging Technologies in Computing (AETiC)*	http://www.aetic.theiaer.org
*Annals of Networking and Communications Engineering (ANCE)*	http://www.ance.theiaer.org

There will be a range of events from keynote addresses, technical and poster sessions, workshops and tutorials. The formal sessions will be supplemented by an excellent social programme exploring the Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Paper Submission
