Following on the success of the first and second editions of NEXTCOMP in 2017 and 2019 respectively, the University of Mauritius is organizing its third International Conference on Next Generation Computing Applications, NextComp2022. We invite submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research on state of the art computing technologies, as well as case studies and implementation experiences. The conference will address new developments in theory and practice in the area of Communication and Computer Networks, Security and Forensics, Intelligent Systems, Data Analytics, Information Management and Enterprise Systems, Bioinformatics and Healthcare Information Systems and ICT Practices & Applications. The technical program will consist of keynote address and papers presented in regular technical sessions.

 

Articles will go through a review process by other experts in the field to decide their suitability for publication in the conference. Acceptance of papers will be communicated to authors by email. Papers accepted by the NextComp2022’s Technical Committee will be included in the Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
