CIST is part of the IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE SERIES that are held in Morocco, and is co-sponsored by the IEEE Morocco Section and the IEEE Morocco Computer & Communication Joint Chapter. The 2014 third edition will be held in Tetuan, Morocco from the 20 to the 22 of October 2014.

After holding in fez the first and the second edition, the IEEE international Colloquium in Information Science and Technology is emerging as a key event that aims to serve as a forum to promote the exchange of the latest advances achieved by IT researchers, IT decision makers, IT managers, application designers and software engineers in the domain of computer based information and communication sciences. Computing challenges, conceptual models, implementation techniques and tools, applications architectures, and IT solutions will be discussed from the perspectives of academia, businesses, industry and government. The 2014 edition will also include tutorials and keynote sessions from world class speakers. CIST’2014 will also provide a platform for supporting innovative and original contributions. The Technical English Committee will help bringing the accepted papers to the standards required by journals with a good impact factor.
