1st International Conference Of Applied Computing & Smart Cities (ICACS21 ) - 1st day

Cities stand to benefit the most from connecting people, processes, data, and things. A Smart City exploits sustainable information and communication technologies to improve the quality of life, health, education, and also the performance of urban services for citizens. 

Under the supervision of the board of trustees and the presidency of Knowledge University, on Saturday 22/1/2022 Knowledge University held the first day of the International Conference entitled: 1st International Conference of Applied Computing & Smart Cities (ICACS21) at 9:00 am, KNU campus in the city of Erbil, Iraq. This is a 2-day event.

 

The conference started with an opening speech by  ICACS21 General Chair, Asst. Prof. Dr. Kayhan Zrar Ghafoor the president of Knowledge University

Overall, in terms of participation in ICACS21, almost half of the papers submitted were international. A total of 35 papers were received. In order to guarantee the quality of the papers published our international technical program committee comprises of 21 experts in the fields relevant to ICACS21. Each submitted manuscript was reviewed by at least 3 reviewers and only 19 papers made it to the final round; with almost a 54% acceptance rate.

The importance of this scientific occasion is seen in this scientific coordination between the four universities: Wolverhampton University and Sanniga, St. Valley University, and Tikrit University, where each is a high academic profile holder.

Number of attendees: more than 500
