14th HONET-ICT International Conference "Smart Cities: Improving Quality of Life-Using ICT & IoT" (http://honet-ict.org http://honet-ict.org/)
Oct 09-11, 2017, Amman, Jordan
Scope:
The 14th International Conference HONET-ICT ‘2017 has a major theme as “Smart Cities: Improving Quality of Life-Using ICT & IoT” – covering various areas in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) from Physical Layers' perspective, ICT-Services, Systems, and e-Applications to perspective from judiciary, civil service, urban planning, social services, architecture, healthcare, utilities, agriculture and education. This year’s thematic focus on Smart Cities and Villages(SC&V) with holistic approach will bring together researchers, practitioners, and leaders from urban planning, architecture, transportation, energy, judiciary, civic services, medicine and healthcare, education, water & sewer, agriculture & food supply chain, as well as environment & security areas and so on.
Keeping to its traditions, it would encompass various enabling technologies including, but not limited to, IoT, 5G, Cloud Computing and Computer Networks. Moreover, the Photonics, Green Energy, and Smart Microgrids tracks will cover efficient energy production/saving technologies and harvesting renewable resources. The rapidly emerging area of Big-data will include data transport, storage, cloud computing and data-analytics as pertains to various sectors of industry and society from education to e-healthcare, e.g., ICT for Healthcare. The expanded scope for the HONET-ICT International Conference will cover R&D topics ranging from new materials and photonics device technologies to intelligent systems consisting of communication networks, cyber-security, e-applications and social networks.
Global ICT networks enable the high-speed internet by utilizing various photonic- and RF wireless physical layers technologies and networks spanning millions of fiber-optic links over the vast landscape and numerous satellites hovering over the earth. Such technology base is the workhorse for ICT from the architectural, security, signal transport and application perspectives. Photonic, Optoelectronic, and Wireless modes of communication complement each other and enable various communication technologies that are now the life-lines of our increasingly interconnected world.
