SOCPAR 2023 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person and virtually to take advantage of the best the two modalities can offer. Besides regular paper presentations, the technical programme will include 8-10 plenary lectures and poster sessions. SOCPAR 2023 Organising Committee also recognizes the benefits of virtual conferences allowing participation at a cheaper rate. This allows a higher number of research scholars and students to attend. Selected authors can attend and present the papers virtually or in one of the FOUR venues in Europe and Asia.
*Proceedings of SOCPAR'23* will be published with Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series. ( https://www.springer.com/series/15179)
