IAS 2023 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person and fully virtually to take advantage of the best that the two modalities can offer. Besides regular paper presentations, the technical programme will include 8-10 plenary lectures and poster sessions. IAS 2023 Organising Committee also recognises 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 will have the option to attend and present the papers virtually or present in one of the three venues in Europe and Asia.

Proceedings of IAS'23 will be published with Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series. ( https://www.springer.com/series/15179) (Approval Pending)
