Thank you so much for the excellent contributions from scientific and
applied disciplines and for the active support
from all participants, speakers, panelists, independent peer reviewers,
from the chairs, committees, and moderators, from the editorial supporters
and other volunteers, over the past years! Your contributions and active
support have made the INFOCOMP conferences a very successful and most
lively event series with highest quality standards and publications!

INFOCOMP 2020 continues a successful series of events
dedicated to advanced communications and computing aspects, covering academic
and industrial achievements and visions. We solicit both academic, research,
and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research
and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific
proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry
consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of
the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals. Tracks
feature trends and advances, application scenarios, state of the art, and
outreach developments of advanced scientific computing, supercomputing, HPC,
and communication from present to future architectures, integrated systems,
beyond cloud, and reaching exaflop: large scale and fast computation,
networks/systems communications, measurement, control and management, advanced
applications from geosciences, scientific data processing, natural sciences,
archaeology, planetology, spatial and environmental sciences, geoprocessing,
integrated information and computing systems, intelligent systems, mobility,
legal informatics, database applications, as well as tracks on evaluation
context, biometry, security, access technologies, algorithms, and applications.

In 2020 INFOCOMP, again hosts the special tracks:

  * MODOPT 2020: Modeling and Optimization
   
INFOCOMP aims on bringing together world's leading international experts,
researchers from the academia, computational scientists,
information scientists, developers, system managers, users,
doctoral students, and practitioners from the industry and business affiliates
in order to address fundamentals of advances in communications and computation
and for sharing experiences, publishing and presenting new research results and discussing
discussing recent developments, challenges, and future advancements and
collaboration in exciting keynotes, expert panels, workshops, special tracks,
and tutorials.

In this context, in addition to the Call for Papers
please also note the chance for proposals on
TUTORIALS, PANELS, SPECIAL TRACKS, WORKSHOPS, AND SYMPOSIA.

Wish you all the best with your research and beyond!

Looking forward to your contributions and hopefully seeing you in Rome!

Kind regards,
Dr. Claus-Peter Rueckemann
INFOCOMP General Chair and Chair of the Steering Committee
