Rapid advances in </div><div>information technologies and other digital systems are reshaping our </div><div>ecosystem. Innovations in ICT allow us to transmit information quickly </div><div>and widely, propelling the growth of new urban communities, linking </div><div>distant places and diverse areas of endeavor in productive new ways, </div><div>which a decade ago was unimaginable. Thus, the theme of this World </div><div>Congress is "Innovating ICT For Social Revolutions".</div><div><br></div><div>**Topics (not limited to)**</div><div>---------------------------</div><div>Bioinformatics and Computational Biology</div><div>Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality</div><div>Data Mining</div><div>e-Learning</div><div>e-Business</div><div>e-Government</div><div>Artificial Intelligence</div><div>Web Services and Semantic Web</div><div>Grid and Cloud Computing</div><div>Ambient Intelligence</div><div>Body Sensor Networks</div><div>Computational Finance and Economics</div><div>Cybercrime (Legal and Technical Issues)</div><div>Computer Network Security</div><div>Data Mining for Information Security</div><div>Academic Integrity, Plagiarism Detection and Software Misuse</div><div>Intrusion Detection and Forensics</div><div>Scheduling For Large Scale Distributed System</div><div>Nature Inspired Optimization Algorithms And Their Applications</div><div>The Role of Technology in Education and Health</div><div>Data Management</div><div>Collaborative Design in Knowledge-based Environment</div><div>Software Engineering</div><div><br></div><div>**Submission Guidelines**</div><div>-------------------------</div><div>Submission of paper should be made through the submission page </div><div>from the conference web page.
