Yang, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada IEEE CIT has become a major platform for researchers and industry practitioners from different fields of computer and information technology. Each year, CIT attendees appreciate and benefit from multidisciplinary exchanges in computer and information technology. In previous years, CIT has attracted many high quality research papers spanning over the various aspects of information technology, computing science and computer engineering. These papers highlight foundational work that strives to push beyond limits of existing computer technologies, including experimental efforts, innovative systems, and investigations that identify weaknesses in existing IT services. IEEE CIT2017 will be held on August 21-23, 2017 in Helsinki, Finland. The goal of IEEE CIT2017 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange novel ideas, results, experiences and work-in-process on all aspects of computer and information technology. The IEEE CIT2017 topics include but are not limited to the following, and the detailed information can be found in CIT2017 website ( https://research.comnet.aalto.fi/CIT2017/) - Information Technology - Computer Science - Signal Processing - Networking and Internet of Things - Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust - Applications, Business and Social Issues - Database and Data Management - Microwave and radar - System Software and Software Engineering - Pattern Recognition, Data Mining and Artificial Intelligence - Information Technology for Biomedicine - Wireless Communications - Mobile Multimedia Communications IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline: 15th March, 2017 Author Notification: 10th June, 2017 Camera-ready and Registration: 25th June, 2017 Conference Dates: 21-23 August, 2017 WORKSHOPS The IEEE CIT 2017 Organizing Committee invites proposals for one-day workshops affiliated with the conference and addressing research areas related to the conference.
