The 17th International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies (ISCIT2017) will be held at Cairns, the gateway to Australia's Great Barrier Reef. ISCIT2017, under the technical sponsorship of IEEE, will provide a forum for researchers, engineers and industry experts to ex-change and discuss new ideas, recent development, and breakthroughs in IoT, communications and information technologies. ISCIT2017 will also offer an exciting social program. Accepted and pre-sented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing databases.
