Besides regular paper presentations, the technical programme will include 8-10 plenary lectures and poster sessions. NaBIC 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 three venues in Europe and Asia. *Proceedings of NaBIC'23 *will be published with Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series.
