Welcome to the 27th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC).
The first IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC) was held in 1995 in response to the growing interaction between the fields of computers and communications.

ISCC takes place annually, usually in the Mediterranean region, in locations such as Egypt, Greece, France, Tunisia, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Italy, and Brazil. In 2022, the Symposium is going to take place in Rhodes Island, Greece.

ISCC sessions will include presentations on new research results and tutorials.
Papers describing original works are invited in any of the computer and communications areas covered by the Call for Papers. Accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2022 Conference Proceedings, which will be subject to independent peer-review procedures for quality, and may be eligible for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library. Merit, relevance, and originality will guide paper acceptance. Best Paper Award and Best Student Paper Awards will be presented.

You are invited to submit a full paper, a proposal for a Panel/Invited Session or a Tutorial, related to the following topics of interest:

Submission Guidelines

Papers must be submitted electronically as a PDF file through the EDAS system, at: https://edas.info/N29322.

Please note:

(1) All papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance, originality, significance, and clarity. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers that do not comply with the Submission Guidelines will be rejected without review.

(2) All papers should be submitted electronically in PDF and be no longer than 7 pages in the IEEE double column proceedings format including tables, figures, and references. Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted. Download manuscript templates for IEEE conference proceedings: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html

(3) Best Paper and Best Student Paper Awards will be presented.

(4) Accepted papers up to 6 pages will be published with no additional charge. Exceeding page(s) will be charged an additional fee.

(5) At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper. Only registered and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2021 Proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore.

The ISCC Proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, dblp and Scopus. This makes the ISCC conference one of the publication venues with very high visibility and impact in both Computer and Communications areas.
