1st International Conference Of Applied Computing & Smart Cities (ICACS21 )
Cities stand to benefit the most from connecting people, process, data, and things. A Smart City exploits sustainable information and communication technologies to improve 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 a 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.
The conference started by a speech from Asst. Prof. Dr. Kayhan Zrar Ghafoor the president of Knowledge University and the general Chair of the conference, below is the link of the speech:
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 ICACS21. Each submitted manuscript was reviewed by 3 reviewers. And only 19 papers made it to the final round; almost a 54% acceptance rate.
the importance of this scientific occasion is seen in this scientific co-ordination between the three universities (Wolverhampton University and Sanniga and St. Valley University), each with High Academic Profile Holder, high esteemed and self-employed science staff that have been an opportunity to receive new and high-level scientific research, particularly with the growing need to revitalize the smart city across the Kurdistan Region and Iraq
