Welcome to ICT 2017
*******************
24th International Conference on Telecommunication "Intelligence in every form"
*******************************************************************************

The Mediterranean coastal city of Limassol in Cyprus, a top holiday destination, is hosting the 24th International Conference on Telecommunications. This year’s theme focuses on intelligence built into devices, systems, and processes. The ample computation, communication and sensing/actuation capabilities offered by increasingly miniaturized and low-cost electronic devices is enabling a myriad of new applications with transformative implications to numerous economic sectors.

We have reached a point where intelligence built into these devices enables, for example, the realization of affordable and useful smart homes and smart grids, autonomous vehicles, and unmanned aerial systems; all of which have tremendous impact on their own but more importantly in conjunction with each other.

ICT 2017 invites world-class researchers to share their ideas and progress in addressing challenges faced in this increasingly intelligent realm of information and telecommunication technologies as part of a rich conference program including Plenary Talks, Tutorials, Workshops as well as Regular and Special Sessions.

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.
