5TH EDITION INTERNATIONAL IEEE CONGRESS on INFORMATION SCIENCES and TECHNOLOGY

CiST 2018


Engineering & Computer Science (General)



The IEEE CiSt Congress is among the most prestigious INTERNATIONAL events held in Morocco and which encompasses focused CONFERENCES that gather the best scientists and world class experts to share leading edge and multidisciplinary research in various fields related to information science and technology. The congress is co-sponsored by the IEEE Morocco Section and the IEEE Morocco Computer & Communication Joint Chapter. The 2018 fifth edition will be held in Marrakesh, Morocco on October 2018. CiSt is indexed by IEEE, Scopus and DBLP.
After holding four editions, the IEEE international Congress on Information Science and Technology is emerging as a leading event that aims to serve as a forum to promote the exchange of the latest advances achieved by IT researchers, IT decision makers, IT managers, application designers and software engineers in the domain of computer based information and communication sciences. Computing challenges, conceptual models, implementation techniques and tools, applications architectures, and IT solutions will be discussed from the perspectives of academia, businesses, industry and government. The 2018 edition will also include tutorials and keynote sessions from world class speakers. CiSt’2018 will also provide a platform for supporting innovative and original contributions. CiSt’2018 will include tutorials, presentations of contributed papers, posters, a research panel, an industrial track and state-of-the-art lectures by invited keynote speakers.
The congress sponsors will provide, under special circumstances, grants for IEEE student members who will be applying to attend the technical congress talks and meetings.
