The 16th International Conference on Information Technology and Applications (ICITA 2022) will be held in Lisbon, Portugal on 20 - 22 October 2022. The conference is an annual event and recognized as one of the major series of conferences in Information Technology (IT in short). ICITA continues to retain its tradition of being a high quality conference. The event will open an opportunity for academics and industry professionals worldwide to exchange their knowledge of the state-of-the-art research and development in information technology and applications. It will help participants establish new links and extend professional networks. This conference addresses the importance that IT professionals stretch across narrowly defined subject areas and constantly acquire a global technical and social perspective. ICITA 2022 offers such an opportunity to facilitate cross-disciplinary and social gatherings.

Since 2002 ICITA has maintained a high conference standard, and several thousand academics and Information Technology professionals have used it as a presenting, publishing and networking medium for their research findings. We are confident that more will be achieved during the next ten years! The conference will be held at ISCTE - Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Portugal from the 20 through 22nd of October, 2022. The aim of International Conference on Information Technology and Applications is to provide a platform for academics and engineers in computer technology to meet, exchange ideas, and establish professional networks. It is a forum which will focus on specific disciplinary research as well as on multi-disciplinary studies. The uniqueness of ICITA is that it enables scientists in the world to communicate not only about technical issues, but also any of the other areas which use technology.

Over the past many years, ICITA has been proudly sponsored by: IEEE NSW Section, IEEE Computer Society, the University of Technology Sydney, Australia; Charles Sturt University, Australia; Heilongjiang University, China, Jiao-tong University, China, ACM SIG CHI Singapore and Society of Industry Technology. For the ICITA 2022, we gladly welcome the ISCTE - Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Portugal and the Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh/Dubai/Malaysia to join others to be the sponsors of this event.
