The International Conference on Convergence Technology and Information Convergence (CTIC) will be held at the Marriott Franklin Cool Springs , Nashville, Tennessee, USA. The conference has been held in co-operation with ACM SIGAPP since 2006. It is sponsored by Center for U-city Security and Surveillance Technology (CUSST) and hosted by Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), High Performance Computing Research Center (HPCRC), and University of Seoul. It provides a forum for the presentation and showcase of recent advances on various aspects of the convergence technology. The goal of this conference is to promote innovative discussion and interaction among academics, researchers and professionals all over the world. The conference reflects the ubiquitous computing methods, theory, algorithm, numerical simulation, errors/uncertainty analysis as well as novel applications of new processing techniques in engineering, science, and other disciplines related to the convergence computing environment. Selected papers are scheduled to be published in the Information Journal, indexed by Science Citation Index Extended (SCIE). Historically, more than 40% of the extended conference proceedings have been published in SCIE journals.
