2021 IEEE 11th Annual Computing and Communication Workshop and Conference (CCWC)

IEEE CCWC 2021
Virtual conference
27th – 30th January 2021




We are pleased to announce the 2021 IEEE 11th Annual Computing and Communication Workshop and Conference (IEEE CCWC 2021), will be held during 27-30 January 2021. Unlike the previous years, this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic we will be hosting the conference virtually to maintain continuity.

The conference aims to bring together scholars from different backgrounds to emphasize the dissemination of ongoing research in the fields of Computing, Electronics and Communication. Research papers are invited describing original work in above-mentioned fields and related technologies. The conference will include a peer-reviewed program of technical sessions.

Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for publication to IEEE Xplore® digital library (Scopus; Ei Compendex; Web of Science and Google Scholar).

Please note we have extended the paper submission deadline to 30th of December, 2020.
