December 13-15, 2023

NaBIC 2023 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person
and fully virtually to take advantage of the best that the two
modalities can offer. Besides regular paper presentations, the
technical programme will include 8-10 plenary lectures and poster
sessions. NaBIC 2023 Organising Committee also recognises the benefits
of virtual conferences allowing participation at a cheaper rate. This
allows a higher number of research scholars and students to attend.
Selected authors will have the option to attend and present the papers
virtually or present in one of the three venues in Europe and Asia.

Like previous years, proceedings of NaBIC'23 are expected to be
published with Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Networks and
Systems (LNNS) series. (https://www.springer.com/series/15179 [5])
