=============================================================================

Welcome to the 27th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC). The first IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC) was held in 1995 in response to the growing interaction between the fields of computers and communications.

ISCC takes place annually, usually in the Mediterranean region, in locations such as Egypt, Cyprus, Tunisia, Portugal, Morocco, Italy, Brazil, Spain and France. In 2021 Athens hosted the 26th symposium. This year (2022) the 27th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications will be held in Rhodes island in Greece by the summer.

ISCC sessions will include presentations on new research results and tutorials. Papers describing original work are invited in any of the computer and communications areas that the Call for Papers considers. Accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2022 Conference Proceedings, which will be subject to independent peer-review procedures for quality, and may be eligible for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library. Merit, relevance, and originality will guide paper acceptance. Best Paper Award and Best Student Paper Awards will be presented.

ISCC 2022, in its 27th edition, will provide an insight into the unique world stemming from the interaction between the fields of computers and communications. ISCC 2022 will provide an international technical forum for experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas and present results of on-going research in most state-of-the-art areas of computers and communications.

Submission Guidelines
===========================
Papers must be submitted electronically as a PDF file through the conference management system, at: https://edas.info/N29322



Please note:

All papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance, originality, significance, and clarity. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers that do not comply with the Submission Guidelines will be rejected without review.

The manuscripts under review should describe original work and should be no more than 7 pages in the IEEE double column proceedings format including tables, figures, and references. Download manuscript templates for IEEE conference proceedings www.ieee.org/ conferences_events/ conferences/ publishing/ templates.html. Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted.

Best Paper Award and Best Student Paper Awards will be presented.

Accepted papers up to 6 pages will be published with no additional charge. Exceeding page(s) will be charged an additional fee.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper. Only registered and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2021 Proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore.

The ISCC Proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, dblp and Scopus. This makes the ISCC conference one of the publication venues with very high visibility and impact in both Computer and Communications areas.

In IEEE ISCC 2022, all submissions must be done through EDAS in the link https://edas.info/N29322. Please contact the Technical Program Co-Chairs for any questions regarding the submission of manuscripts.
