Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 18th International Conference on Advanced Computer Theory and Engineering (ICACTE 2025) is scheduled to take place in Nanjing, China, during September 26–28, 2025. Since its inception in 2008, ICACTE has been held in various locations across the globe, including Germany, Singapore, South Korea, and China. Each edition attracts participants from all over the world, providing them with an opportunity to collaborate and network.
Computer theory and engineering is an ever-evolving field that has witnessed significant advancements in recent years. With the explosive growth of technology, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of devices that rely on computers, such as smartphones, tablets, and wearable technology. In response to this growth, researchers in computer theory and engineering have been working tirelessly to develop new algorithms, hardware, and software to keep pace with the demands of these devices.
ICACTE 2025 will provide a platform for experts in different fields to interact with each other to deeply discuss the current status and possible future directions. Hopefully this will further the development of the featured research areas. The conference will cover eight topics: artificial intelligence and machine learning, computer systems and networks, data science and applications, human–computer interaction and multimedia, software engineering and applications, quantum information and quantum computing, blockchain technology and applications, and emerging technologies. We cordially invite you to submit full manuscripts and abstracts for oral presentations, and welcome your registration and participation in the ICACTE 2025.
This Special Issue will be closely aligned with the themes of the conference.
Symmetry is indexed within Scopus, SCIE (Web of Science), CAPlus/SciFinder, Inspec, Astrophysics Data System, and other databases, and has an Impact Factor of 2.2 and a 5-Year Impact Factor of 2.3.
