With the fast growth and development in recent several decades, computer and information technologies (CITs) have become crucially important in our daily life. CITs cover various aspects of information technology, computing science and computer engineering, from foundational work that strives to push beyond limits of existing computer and communication technologies to experimental efforts, innovative systems, and investigations that identify weaknesses in existing IT services. This symposium aims to provide a forum to discuss recent advances on all aspects of computer and information technologies.
