Welcome to NextGenCIT-2016

All registered and presented papers will be submitted to IEEE for potential inclusion to IEEE Xplore.

The NextGenCIT symposium has been formed to promote research and development activities focused on enabling and scaling next generation computing using distributed paradigms, such as cluster, Grid, Cloud Computing and Internet of Things. To address the growing needs of both applications and Cloud computing paradigm, NextGenCIT brings together researchers and practitioners from around the world to share their experiences, to focus on modelling, executing, and monitoring various applications on advance computing and IoT.

In this symposium, we are interested in receiving innovative work on enabling and scaling computing systems to support the execution of scientific applications and IoT. The target audience include researchers and industry practitioners.

International Symposium on Next Generation Computing and Internet (NextGenCIT 2016) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the advance computing and IoT, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future. The NextGenCIT 2016 is the 2nd edition of the successful series, previously held as NextGenCIT 2015 (Dubai, UAE).
