year's review process was very competitive and rigorous, which resulted in a
very strong and pivotal conference program. We received 404 submissions

of novel ideas, new results, work in progress, and state-of-the-art techniques,
but also provides us with the directions and stimulation for future research
activities in the area of information management and communication
technologies.
