1st International Conference Of Applied Computing & Smart Cities (ICACS21 ) - 2nd 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 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 Sunday 23/1/2022 Knowledge University held a second 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.

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 at least 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 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
