ICTAACS'21

International Conference on Theoretical and Applicative Aspects of Computer Science, Skikda 2021

ICTAACS'21 ON IEEE:

About

The ICTAACS'21 like ICTAACS'19, CTAACS'12 and CTAACS'13 which are the previous editions, covers theoretical and practical aspects related to Computer Science. The aim of this conference is to give researchers the possibilty to share and exchange their new ideas, research results and experiences about different specialities of Computer Science.

The ICTAACS'21 will be held in Skikda, Algeria from 15-16 December 2021. It's co-organized by the Computer Science department of the 20 Août 1955-Skikda University, the LICUS (Laboratoire d'Informatique et de Communication de l'Université 20 Août 1955-Skikda), the MISC (laboratory of Modélisation et d'Implémentation de Systèmes Complexes, Abdelhamid Mehri-Constantine 2 University), the GLIA team of the LIRE (Laboratoire d'Informatique REpartie, Abdelhamid Mehri-Constantine 2 University) and by the LINFI (Laboratoire d'INFormatique Intelligente, Mohamed Khider-Biskra University).

The target audience for ICTAACS'21 ranges from Teacher-Researcher to PhD students and Master students. They will also be encouraged to present their research, to self-evaluate and to increase the visibility of their work within the IT community.

Extended versions of best selected papers will be published in the following Special Issue On: Scalability and Scaling-up in Collective Computing and Collective Intelligence of the indexed International Journal of Organizational and Collective Intelligence (IJOCI).
