General Information

The 2018 International Workshop on Computer tools and Communication Systems, WCTCS 2018, is an international forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest research findings and discuss future research direction. The WCTCS 2018 workshop will be held on the second day (July 26, 2018) during the International Conference on Computer and Applications ICCA 18 jointly with The International Conference on Computer and Applications .
The International Conference on Computer and Applications ICCA 18 (Third Edition) is an annual event focusing on state of the art technologies pertaining to digital information, communications and multimedia. It is an oppor- tunity for researchers and practitioners to meet and discuss the recent trends in computer applications. It opens a new horizon for research collaboration locally and internationally.
The one-day workshop program will consist of oral and poster presentations with plenary sessions. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published as a collective work in an electronic format and will be indexed in IEEE Xplore. WCTCS 18 is a good opportunity for participants to meet with leading researchers working on cutting edge engineer- ing research projects. The conference represents an exceptional opportunity to find potential collaborators and introduces your University in front of key academic leaders.
The conference is sponsored by SPRINGER-VERLAG, IEEE, and IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY (Technical Co-sponsorship).
