Contact: rivf2015@cit.ctu.edu.vn (Local Organizing Committee)


We are pleased to invite you to submit the original paper(s) for the RIFV 2015.

The IEEE-RIVF 2015 conference is hosted by CanTho University, CanTho City, Vietnam from 25 to 28 January 2015. This is the 11th conference in the RIVF conference series. The conference aims to provide a high-level, international forum for scientists, researchers and innovators to share their new ideas and achievements, identify the emerging issues, and establish academic collaboration in various disciplines of computing and communications. The conference calls for high-quality, original research papers in the theory and practice of Computing and Communication Technology.

This year, an EU-ASEAN COOPERATIONS & RESEARCH ON Internet of Things and Open Platforms event will be co-located with RIVF where presenters from IERC and many EU FP7 projects will present their needs and success stories of collaboration. Therefore, scientific contributions in the domain of Internet of Things are welcome and an IoT session will be dedicated to accepted papers.
