Dear users of Tccc-Announce mailing list,

============================= CALL FOR PAPERS ===============================

The 26th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (IEEE ISCC 2021)

Submission Due Date: May 15, 2021 Conference Dates: September 5-8, 2021 Conference Venue: Athens, Greece

Submission Website: https://iscc2021.edas.info/N28231 Conference Website: https://iscc2021.unipi.gr

=============================================================================

Welcome to the 26th 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 2021, the Symposium is going to be held in Athens, Greece.

ISCC sessions will include presentations on new research results and tutorials. Papers describing original work are invited in any of the computer and communications areas that the Call for Papers considers. Accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2021 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.

ISCC 2021, in its 26th edition, will provide an insight into the unique world stemming from the interaction between the fields of computers and communications. ISCC 2021 will provide an international technical forum for experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas and present results of on-going research in most state-of-the-art areas of computers and communications.
