Paper submission

 SoICT 2018 seeks articles describing novel results about theoretical, empirical, conceptual or experimental research in Computer Science. All contributions should be original, must be unpublished, and must not be submitted to other venues during the review period. The symposium language is English.

The paper must be prepared by using the "sigconf" conference template in ACM template and should not exceed 8 pages and must be submitted via EasyChair system.

 SoICT 2018 proceedings will be published in the International Conference Proceedings Series by ACM as an ICPS volume in the ACM Digital Library (ISBN: 978-1-4503-6539-0), which will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. SoICT 2018 will be indexed by DBLP, Ei Compendex, Scopus and Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI Web of Science). Proceedings of SoICT 2015, SoICT 2016, SoICT 2017 have been indexed in Scopus.
