*** Overview ***
PlatCon-14 will be the first event of the PlatCon conference series which is hosted and organized the ICT Platform Society (ICTPS) and ICRP. This conference will be one of most comprehensive conferences in the field of Platform Technology (PT). The main focus of PlatCon-14 is various PT research issues, but also its coverage can be extended to a wide spectrum of topics related to PT and its service domains. And PlatCon-14 would be a professional and informative forum for scientists, engineers, experts, professors, and students in the areas of Information Technology, Computing Technology, Communication & Network, HCI, Business & Management, Intelligent System, IT-based Convergence Research, and also in multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary research fields.

During the last decade, many countries have adopted in recent years roadmap for developing the future infrastructure in emerging platform technology areas such as automobile, big data processing technology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, grid computing and ICT (Information and Communication Technology). Our special interest lies in both theoretical and practical research contributions presenting new techniques, concepts, or analysis, reports on experiences and experiments of implementation and application of theories, and tutorials on new technologies and trends in various platforms/services areas and in all relevant scientific/engineering areas.


*** Jeju Island & Visa Information ***
Korea is a very safe country for tourists and a very good place for convention and conference. Regarding with this, Korea has made visa waiver agreements with about 180 countries. And also tourists who are not in visa-waived-countries, but directly enter into Jeju island, can stay 30 days without visa. For further information, visit the following website: http://goo.gl/BfWAl
