Latest developments in the Information and Communication Technologies extend to numerous individual research fields. Both the academia and the industry have exhibited great interest on the current evolution toward the new era of ICT. A key feature of this forthcoming technological era is the high degree of integration of the individual fields in the context of a unified architecture. This Research Track aims at promoting cutting-edge approaches in the most contemporary ICT areas.

Review Process
All submitted papers will undergo a double peer-review process by members of the Scientific Committee. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their work at the conference and will be asked to submit the final versions of their papers to be included in the conference proceedings. During the conference, each paper will be presented in front of a panel of experts consisting of academics with significant research expertise and experience in supervising doctoral students. Each presentation will be followed by feedback from the members of the panel and questions from the audience. In addition to the discussions that will be held during the presentations, there will be general discussion sessions guided by the members of the expert panels, addressing various issues relating to research methodology and PhD work.
