IoT for Sustainable Reef

The 17th International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies (ISCIT2017) will be held in Cairns, the gateway to Australia's Great Barrier Reef. ISCIT2017, under the technical sponsorship of IEEE and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CAS), will provide a forum for researchers, engineers, and industry experts to exchange and discuss new ideas, the recent development, and break­throughs in IoT, communications and information technologies. The theme of ISCIT2017 is:

“IoT for Sustainable Reef”

ISCIT2017 will also offer an exciting social program. 

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers reporting original work following the IEEE instructions available on the symposium website. The accepted and presented paper will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing databases.
