**About WICT 2021**
------------------
After the success of the 10th World Congress on Information and
Communication Technologies (WICT 2020), we are organizing WICT 2021 to
provide an opportunity for the researchers from academia and industry
to meet and discuss the latest solutions, scientific results, and
methods in the usage and applications of ICT in the real world. The
conference programme will include workshops, special sessions,
tutorials, 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. The last few decades have experienced rapidly
evolving technologies, altering space and time constraints and
reshaping the way we communicate, learn, and think. Rapid advances in
information technologies and other digital systems are reshaping our
ecosystem. ICT innovations 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".
