Original Paper Submission Deadline: Oct. 13, 2017 (to be extended to Oct 27, 2017)


THEME:
The International Conference on Information Technology- New 
Generations (ITNG) is an annual event focusing on state of 
the art technologies pertaining to digital information and 
communications. The applications of advanced information 
technology to such domains as astronomy, biology, education, 
geosciences, security and health care are among topics of 
relevance to ITNG. High Performance Computing, Computer 
Architectures, and Innovative methods of Computing are 
examples of the related topics. Visionary ideas, theoretical 
and experimental results, as well as prototypes, designs, and 
tools that help the information readily flow to the user are of 
special interest. The conference features keynote speakers, 
the best student award, a technical open panel,  and 
workshops/exhibits from industry, government and academia.

PAPER SUBMISSION:
Authors should submit a 6-page version of their original and 
unpublished work including 5 keywords in the IEEE format to 
their respective track/session chair via the following site:
